    I definitely agree with you! It’s neat to have alternatives available. So far I feel that comments are higher quality here. So even if reddit goes on, I can enjoy the interaction here.

      It’s the classic catch-22 of internet communities, though: as a community grows, there’s a gradual trade of quality of the average individual post in exchange for a higher population and the increased overall activity that it brings.

      The former attracts the latter and the latter provides the critical mass of buzz and activity that tends to foster longevity.
