Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit?

Making the mission be about taking down Reddit gives Reddit a lot of power and credit. Focusing on making an open future for social media creates a new path forward while treating Reddit like what it is—yesterday’s platform.
There will be people who want to stick with the old platform—just look at boomers and Facebook. That’s ok—if we play our cards right, we will be gaining young users while the older demographic shrinks on Reddit.
They’re still multigenerational; Reddit captures lots of Gen Z members, and I’ve also seen people self-proclaimed as being in their 60s on here.
Regardless, the most important thing is to generate decent content. On my end, I’ve been doing what I like the most, which is making communities of topics that I think merit them.

Yeah the thing is we don’t want that either. We just don’t care. We see these posts every time there’s a sizable Reddit emigration. I’m not shitting on you, just telling you that you won’t find a lot of interest in that topic here.
