Why are so many of you hoping to recreate Reddit? No one tried to turn Facebook into MySpace, no one is trying to turn Substack into LiveJournal… Platforms fade, people move on, new platforms crop up. That’s the circle of life on the web.

Most of us aren’t trying to turn this into Reddit and grow it to unsustainable levels. You are welcome to create your own instance and defederate from the ones you don’t like.
