    Reddit is ripe for being in the parting end of a new digg→reddit event, with users leaving to a federated platform (I can only think of Lemmy). However, I don't know if it's even possible in the current state of things and given the amount of inertia it holds now. At least it should rot as the new Facebook for low effort posts. For now the best way is to used teddit as a front-end (if you don't post) and Dawn (ad-free, non-spamming, FLOSS app for Android if you do).

        Nobody cares about this nihilistic apathy of yours. Be discouraged if you want, but it's malevolent to share this sentiment. You're wasting our time.

      Yeah, I've been hearing that for many years now, but I think reddit has entered into the zeitgeist and is as sticky as Facebook at this point. I have non-tech family members that use reddit. It used to surprise me when IRL people mentioned reddit, but now it's very common. "Hey, I saw this on reddit"

      In many countries telegram is used for news, posts etc. Only America and some western Europe countries are using reddit.
