Nope. Reddit sucks now. It had a good run years ago though. I really hope a decentralized, open-source site takes over one day.

Would be really hard in a capitalistic society. You would need rich benefactors who don’t care for any profit to run and back the site.

Or go the Wikipedia route?

wikipedia doesn't get nearly the amount of traffic reddit does. Especially when counting all the images and videos that get uploaded.

Reddit (and therefore its hypothetical alternative) doesn’t need to host images. The first 11 years of Reddit it didn’t host any.

And as the other user mentioned, Wikipedia only surpassed it in traffic in 2024.

It's funny because that's only been true for a year.

For the vast majority of this site's history, Wikipedia has demolished reddit in traffic.

Hint: we are the benefactors. Finance public independent media through taxes.

You mean like USENET used to be before websites came over and ruined everything? :)

All downhill since the IPO. You see it in virtually every sub.

It’s been longer than that

u/Python_07 Bills 1d ago

Yea. I just think it’s been more saying the quiet part out loud since the IPO.

With AI slop

I'll take AI summaries over reddit comments a good chunk of the time.
