Like it or not, Reddit is still a big player in the internet game. Let's bring together the best of both worlds, shall we?

Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we're less developed. But do you know what's even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we'll improve and mature over time.

And the community subscriber numbers are extremely low. Like more people join and leave the reddit-equivalent subs every day than have ever joined some of these.

That's true but it is getting better. As twitter and reddit continue to drive into the ground, more people will get fed up and look for better options. It's a snowball effect. The reason so many previous social network alternatives died off was that people were annoyed by facebook/twitter/reddit but it was still all fine. With the latest changes, the reasons to leave are getting stronger and stronger. The more people migrate, the more people will have a reason to migrate as well. So I'm optimistic about the future.
