With the Digg exodus, Reddit was already the strong #2 alternative for a decent amount of time so it was a no-brainer and obviously Reddit has grown exponentially beyond what Digg was.
I have no idea what is out there as an alternative at this point, there just seems to be too much chaff everywhere.
- Casteil 3y agoYep, Twitter is currently enjoying this effect of having no "close 2nd" choice for their user base to defect to.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI've looked for a long time. Tildes feels like a good #2, but it seems content remaining extremely small. I think it's still invite only after 5 years. Pretty much all alternatives I looked at lacked community. Not expecting reddit numbers, but even a threshold as simple as "more than 5 posts/20 comments a day" was a huge hurdle here. Social media is just so centralized now.
