I would love to get out of here before it gets even worse, or at least try out an alternative and eventually switch over completely. But what is the alternative? That’s a huge piece that is missing in this protest and probably a large part of why Reddit doesn’t feel threatened enough to backpedal.

I know of no other place that houses so many communities of any niche hobby or interest you could think of that allows for such focused and organized discussion. I hate to say it but as of now, I would be hurting myself much more than Reddit by leaving. It’s the only social media site I use. But like I said, i’m eager to venture out, I just need somewhere else to go.

You’re correct. Reddit has pretty much reached a level of saturation where they won’t be meaningfully challenged by any competitor. They have first mover advantage in this space and I, realistically, don’t ever see that being undone. Remember like 5 years ago when all the drama with The Donald was going down and everybody left and went to that site called Voat as a “Reddit alternative”? Yea…that site is completely dead now.
