I wonder if Reddit has surpassed Twitter, Snapchat, etc, for the title of most popular non-Facebook social network. You rarely see anyone do any kind of comparison of them.
- chrisco255 8y agoIs Reddit really considered a social network and not just a discussion forum?
- drenvuk 8y agoWhat would you consider digg, myspace, slashdot, 4chan, etc? Online watering holes seem like social networks, they just have different forms with similar concepts.
- beatgammit 8y agoIt has: - user accounts and profiles (users have their own "subreddit") - friends list (and block list) - live chat - personalizable feed - communities So yeah, it's a social network that looks a lot like a message board, and it has been getting more and more social features. That's the reason I'm leaving Reddit. I liked how it was a while ago, but the recent changes and the culture just aren't my cup of tea anymore. Discussion is still mostly okay, but there's just far too much noise.
- saternius 8y agoThere were a handful of visualizations posted on r/dataisbeautiful a while back that compared the social media giants. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/87q8pn/the_life_and_death_of_social_networks_google/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/87q8pn/the... https://imgur.com/gallery/c4Wzo https://imgur.com/gallery/c4Wzo https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8yma4e/oc_social_media_usage_historical_trends/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8yma4e/oc_... https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8ahy05/internet_communities_popularity_on_google_trends/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8ahy05/int...
- Hypx 8y agoLooks like Reddit is still growing where the others are shrinking.
- liftbigweights 8y agoHere you go. Reddit was always bigger than snapchat. They are about the same size as twitter. https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-net... Note that FB owns 4 out of the top 6 social media platforms on that list. That's how dominant FB really is.
- Hypx 8y agoDepending on the definition of "active user." In particular, Facebook can be filled with your once-a-month users, who are basically non-active users.
