I liked Reddit but I think it's too big now, the format just doesn't work for such a big website, I can't imagine the data they have though, I'm sure you can make some crazy psychological profiles with some of the data in there.

It's literally the worst parts of Twitter combined with the worst parts of Facebook with comments from YouTube. I guess most aggregators are cesspools after your cross a certain DAU threshold.

  I think the subreddits are a nice solution for that though. There are a lot of very nice and useful niche subreddits. I agree the frontpage and r/all is a cesspool.

    It’s the niche subreddits that keep me using it for now. The trend is towards worse though with pretty much everything they do lately.

  What are you talking about? Reddit is a collection of smaller forums. If the subs you frequent have gotten too large/diluted, look for smaller ones or create your own. You can't create a subfacebook and moderate just that piece, and nothing on the internet comes even close to being as brainless as YouTube comments.

I'm quite curious to know if there's a place people chat about what they want after Reddit?

  Or after social media in general. Even HN is extremely impersonal, and while the moderation and content is significantly better than most alternatives, I still often feel like it mainly adds FOMO typed stress to my with little value gained in return. I mean, even if we end up having an interesting conversation in this thread, we’ll probably never speak again. That’s not really a good form of interaction is it? At least Reddit’s redesign made it easy to quit.
