Reddit's pretty bad now. Recent super-divisive politics divides everyone and reddit plays unfairly and not in good faith.

Reddit is well-funded and it has a large user base. But, it's toxic to a very large swath of the general population now. A LOT of people are being forced to leave.

Reddit has just become a raft of SJWs calling everyone 'racist' just win arguments.

I do think that alternatives have a chance of becoming popular.
