It is, but a vast swath of useful stuff on reddit is related to images. That crowd will still need to go somewhere. Whatever replaces reddit will need to allow image links as well as text posts and content links if it wants to get serious usage like reddit.
Tild.es is okay but it has very few users. Because reddit has so many users I can find good discusion on just about any topic that I'm currently looking into, etc.
- boring_twenties 7y agoI think the crowd that favors images mostly uses the new redesigned reddit without complaining. At least that's my subjective impression from some of the youngsters I've interacted with on that site.
- munmaek 7y agoThat may be true to an extent, but there is a huge difference between wanting high-density, fast loading websites, and wanting to get rid of image/video/non-text links altogether. subreddits can be insanely useful sources of information, but the less serious ones are still enjoyable. Not to mention there are picture-heavy subreddits like /r/malefashion | /r/malefashionadvice.
- boring_twenties 7y agoThere are better examples of picture-heavy subreddits than that ;) You're right though, and there's no reason not to have them. I like the expandable-thumbnail interface presented by RES.
