As with everything internet: good doesn't last. Now that Reddit has started its demise, where do we flok to next?

Maybe the stars are aligned for early adopters to try out a decentralized messaging style medium ?

I'm not sure if its really a demise. For 99% of users it doesn't matter or it's even positive to not be associated with groups about hate speech or similar stuff.

You're saying this on HN: a site that's vastly more regulated than reddit ever has been or is likely to be.

I'm old enough to remember reddit before the days of subreddits. It wasn't a magnet for extreme content back then. That happened as a result of subreddits.

As with everything in life. The virginial bliss cannot sustain. As always, you need compromises and structure to integrate with external world support. Hopefully they don't change it too much.

Reddit and Hacker News aren’t really similar/comparable, and extreme content came much, much later than the existence of subreddits (and the admins took a very hands off approach to it then, too.)
