This . Reddit only got big because of what Digg did, which is what Reddit is doing right now. Reddit popped up as an alternative, and everyone just moved over. It was that simple. And as soon as another reddit style website comes along that is far left and shuts down anything not far left, they will jump ship. There is no loyalty, and Reddit does not deserve any tbh. All the crazies on the right went to stuff like voat.

What is left is a HUGE population just looking for a non-extreme more moderate site that protects free speech and tightly moderates based on a separate method... and saidits using pyramid of debate sounds pretty lovely. It allows the site to have talks of any kind, while being able to fairly police it to keep it civil. I have seen some pretty far right people, as well as pretty far left people coming from reddit, as well as psyops from reddit trying to look like far far right racists.. or at least what their deluded minds were told alt-right acts like... but overall people are been pretty damn moderate with their sway to left and right, decently polite, engaging, and willing to talk. I, so far, am really liking it. It is a little too slow still, but with more people that are not extremists, I think this could really fit me.

That was early internet.

Even with the reddit blackout which I argue was actually worse than what happened to digg there are still a ton of people using that website.

A ton of people moved to Lemmy but they also hate that place. Are we doomed to never have a true reddit successor?
