My question is, after the twitter fiasco, there is a number of competitors, like skyblue or this threads that have been created to remplace it (I dont count Mastodon, because it was not created to remplaced, but as an open alternative).
Why absolutely no big company (MS, facebook, google, amazon, etc...) is attempting the same with Reddit? Not even discord has done any single change to try to steal any userbase from it.
- Vinnl 3y agoFacebook Groups competes with Reddit, I think.
- PossiblyKyle 3y agoIt is, and it’s even more popular than reddit in my local communities. The problem is the lack of anonymity
- erremerre 3y agoDo you mind to prove some example of communities popular? Sorry but I haven't had facebook since 2016 and I literally have no idea what is going on with it.
- PossiblyKyle 3y agoI don't live in the US. We have groups for uni, the tech sector (in general, kind of like /r/programming in a way), ML&DL, dating, sales (alongside Facebook Marketplace). We also have groups for towns and neighborhoods as the prime way for the locals to communicate. It is de-facto reddit here
- erremerre 3y agoKind of, but you need to identify yourself with a facebook account that is linked to your name. Probably not the best idea if you are trying to form a community like r/piracy or r/watches where you could remain unidentified
- HDThoreaun 3y agoProbably the same reason there wasn't a twitter clone until now. Big tech sees that reddit is inherently a bad business that causes political headaches and is hard, if not impossible, to monetize.
