> Why are we not switching to decentralized content sharing platforms? Because that site looks like a phishing site for reddit accounts. How is 100% cloning another site's design acceptable at all?

Geez! It's a design that all are familiar with, UX 101 and facebook does it all the time! No one 'cloned a site' the whole backend infrastructure is different. Did you read it at all?

  Facebook doesn't copy and paste the css of competitors. That site did. I didn't read any of the interview, I just went to the site like most users would.

Also HN looks like a clone of reddit!

  No, it is 100% a clone. HN is similar to reddit, that site is literally identical.

    Would you like to work on the UX and make something new? They are open source, volunteer-driven and open to new contributors :) We all start somewhere!

> How is 100% cloning another site's design acceptable at all? 1. The design is open source under a CPAL license which notabug abides by https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/tree/753b17407e9a9dca09558526805922de24133d53/r2/r2/public/static/css https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/tree/753b17407e9a9d... 2. a goal of notabug is to support existing reddit stylesheets with minimal/no modifications; this requires dom compatibility and minimal CSS changes in the base design. 3. reddit is abandoning this formerly open source design in favor of their new design by default.
