What if Reddit suddenly replaced all of social media?

[Red Spy]

do you have proof of this?

Yes

reddit isn't even social media
it's a content aggregation and forum site

It quite literally is social media.

Social: people hold conversations on the website.
Media: the conversations people hold are often based around shared media.

This is pretty much the definition of social media. Even YouTube is social media.

techincicicically "social media" is just the media that is held and distributed on a "social network"

but hey

It would be a meme war between the more free sites, such as 4chan or 8chan, and the redditors that like to put more rules on what can and can not be said.

If you can exchange information, share photos/videos, and talk to other users; then it's social media in my facebook.

ftfy

voat is absolutely awful lmao

why?

[ultimamax]

why?

just upon googling "voat":



top 3 sublinks are jailbait research, fat people hate, and a sub LITERALLY called "mondays". also one of those links is literally for voaters to spy on reddit, further cementing the idea that voat can't exist as its own community at all, but only as a foil to reddit where nothing interesting happens.
voat is also super on the right politics wise. at least reddit sort of has a political spectrum going on (with The_Donald and related subreddits being on the right, and most of the rest of reddit being center-left) though I'd argue that reddit is a lot less liberal than people think

reddit is really prone to circlejerking and echo chambers and is kind of garbage because of that. if you sub to non-defaults with strict moderation they tend to be pretty quality though
it is also just different than twitter or facebook - you can't have conversations in the same way on reddit, its more about content then it is about people. so something else would need to fill that niche
