Reddit’s value has never been in the “average redditor” or the “popular subs”. The real value is in the niche tail of communities and the fact that they have such a massive amount of people that even if “only” 10% of their users were decent people, it still meant that they had enough decent people to talk with something to contribute.
Yeah, I don’t use Reddit any longer, but it was really great that there were active subs devoted to incredibly obscure topics. If you wanted to talk about something, chances were that thousands of other people did too.

Yeah, and this is I honestly why I stubbornly keep working on fediverser even after the protests died out, and this is why I wasn’t expecting that the mirrors on alien.top were not so bad as some people here made them out to be. The content itself wasn’t bad, most people were just angry because they never learned (or cared) about curating their feed and just browsing on their specific communities.
