Anyone reading this can spin a discord namespace ("guild"/"server") and that's what reddit is competing with, even if they don't realize that.

- nonethewiser 3y agoI think youre right. People are always trying to imagine the next reddit and its not going to be some clone like voat or whatever. Hackernews is actually a lot like reddit used to be but its not going to scale to reddits size without subreddits, or the like. I dont know if anything will overtake Reddit for a very long time because of network effects. But discord is probably the best guess. Although I actually think people do want centralization. They want 1 login to 1 website that has everything.
- pb7 3y agoDiscord is tomorrow’s Reddit, except it’s even more siloed and it can’t be indexed.
- SSLy 3y agoYes, true. I'm not a defender or proponent of discord by any measure, but I do see them as the most serious competitor for the same kind of communities that hang out on the more focused subreddits.
- 0x457 3y agoHalf of my reddit usage is "X review Reddit". Discord would never fill in that niche.
