    Which clearly isn’t as big and mainstream as Reddit

      Reddit was around for a long time as a competitor to Digg before the latter shot itself in the ass. Reddit is still in the 'fuck around' phase with a hint of 'find out'.

        Digg was nowhere close to as big as reddit is now.

        Look at all the dumb shit twitter has done and it still is a gargantuan platform. Like it or not, these platforms aren't going anywhere.

    And that there's already federated Facebookesque software out there. I've not looked into it, mind you. I don't think there's a market much for Facebook replacements. Most people able to know about a federated equivalent probably don't want to be on Facebook, and if they're on it at all are just there to interact with the few holdouts that insist on remaining there and are secretly hoping it self-destructs.
