Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge

What we're seeing is the downsides of centralizing. Replacing Reddit would require putting everything in one place again, and would likely lead to the same result down the road.

There are still active forums for most topics, and site search works just as well. What changes is a return to the old world where you can't put in one site to get it all anymore.

I personally desire that. You'd think all these fallouts of various social media would be a grim reminder of that cost of convenience, but alas.

So inevitably, people who like reddit want another reddit, and they will fall back into the same pitfalls if/when a better replacement comes.
