Reddit is the third largest social media* website in the world. The appeal of reddit is great content. Since we are the content, and our numbers are limited, we don't have great content. We attract people looking for freedom of speech, if we were able to attract expert memers then we'd be much better off.

I think we have higher quality content than reddit, by far. The average post on saidit has a lot more information and thought put in to it than the average post on reddit. But we definitely don't have the numbers reddit has

If an expert memer is going to make a post, ultimately it will wind up on reddit. r/the_donald is adamant about staying on reddit despite quarantine, cause how else would they make it into the news? Its a nice website and I applaud the effort, ultimately though I have no dreams of ever seeing the same reddit I saw 5 years ago.

Yeah the old reddit is dead. It's going the way of digg.com, aka corporate censorship, followed by exodus, followed by decline, followed by a rebranding to try and save face. Digg.com doesn't even have comments anymore, and it used to be a reddit-like site lol
