Don't get in bed with venture capital, focus on sustainability and technical continuity rather than continuous growth, and be community driven instead of profit driven. An organization needs to make enough money to live, but it doesn't need quarterly RoI and growth. That is a demand of a public market. Reddit got greedy and sold out. It's time to start building new communities outside reddit. It won't happen overnight, but it needs to happen.
