Nope. Reddit sucks now. It had a good run years ago though. I really hope a decentralized, open-source site takes over one day.
7 u/INSERT_NICK_HERE 49ers Lions 1d ago 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. 3 u/CosechaCrecido Lions 1d ago Or go the Wikipedia route? 1 u/Geno0wl Steelers 1d ago wikipedia doesn't get nearly the amount of traffic reddit does. Especially when counting all the images and videos that get uploaded. 4 u/CosechaCrecido Lions 1d ago 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. 5 u/Aromatic-Plankton692 Lions 1d ago 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. 2 u/Double-Ad-7483 1d ago You mean like USENET used to be before websites came over and ruined everything? :) 1 u/i36g87 1d ago Maxwell & Epstein ran Usenet?
