This is the big difference. At the time I left Digg for Reddit, Reddit already had a strong community that offered me better content and discussion than Digg. As far as I can tell, with the exception of perhaps Discord, the alternatives being proposed to Reddit are asking users to _build_ their community on an alternative platform, not join an existing strong community. That seems like a bar too high at the moment, though I hope I’m wrong. That said, I expect it’ll take time. Reddit’s C-Suite have lost the plot, and lost sight of the value of their service and their relationship with their community. I don’t expect them to be supplanted in the next week or two, but I’d be shocked if they were still around at anything like Reddit’s current size and active userbase in a year or two.
