A comment on Ask HN: What is to Reddit, as Reddit was to Digg?. Parent comment
"I click on the top alternative, Parler, and the root page redirects to some advertising page about the site.
Whereas if I go to the root page of reddit, I get content.
I think that's a huge turn off for alot of people.
Show interesting content, and let the product speak for itself.
If you go to Hacker News, you see content, you don't see a page explaining why Hacker News is great.
I just closed the Parler website rather than figure out what hoops I have to jump through to see content and what it's like."
