That true to some extent, but it's also a bit like saying that if Facebook screws up we can just make a new Facebook and move everyone there. It's not that simple; there are huge network effects at play here.
Other considerations:
- Obviously from a purely technical perspective, making a new subreddit is easier than coding and deploying a new Facebook
- It's less friction for a user to subscribe to a new subreddit than to sign up for a new website
+ The name of a subreddit can contribute to its popularity quite a bit. The community can make a new subreddit, but not a new /r/StableDiffusion
