It's more social then Facebook to me. I get to meet new people based on intrest (sub-reddits) Facebook and LinkedIn is how you connect with people you actually know or 1 degree of separation.
Reddit exposed you to new ideas and people. Some good and mostly bad but it is much more "Social" in action.
- pvg 9y agoIt's not a question of whether it's social but whether it's a 'social network'. Facebook straight up tries to model a social network - you tell FB about your relationship to other people. Reddit doesn't.
- AznHisoka 9y agoso then Facebook and Linkedin are both networks. Reddit is social. lets not by default prepend "Social" when its just a network.
- pvg 9y agoI'm not sure I follow why we shouldn't call something that is social and models a network a 'social network'.
- visarga 9y agoYes it is. There are social networks based on persons you know, and social networks based on interests.
- pvg 9y agoThere are, but reddit isn't really either.
- bnolsen 9y agofacebook is one of the worst platforms I can think of. Trying to find anything in facebook is pretty much impossible, even your own posts. Reddit is more like digg used to be, but you can more easily filter out all the crap. I'm not sure how reddit can improve itself, unless some genius has an idea of how to expand what it offers to more people. Its more likely they will end up driving their core away with any radical changes.
