Should have been more clear sorry. From where I am, it looks like they're becoming more and more like facebook and stuff which can't be good for them. Because then they ARE just another facebook
It started as a place to aggregate links/urls and they were doing that up until the redesign. Now honestly it does look ana feel like facebook. After both ui updates, they are very similar
I'm just worried that this is the path reddit is down. Except they're lucky that there isn't anything quite like reddit that we can go to

oh i definitely agree w/ what you wrote here! ive seen a lot of people act like reddit is somehow superior to other social media, so i might be wary of statements like that, but while its a social media platform, its definitely different from eg facebook, and i agree that it should stay that way. im not a fan of the redesign and a lot of recent updates at all, and the reason people use reddit is because its *not* a facebook copy! hopefully that wont change.

You can't compete with Facebook on Facebook's terms, they'll pick Reddit out of their teeth without blinking (or just buy Reddit, but let's not give them any ideas). Especially on social media sites, people will aggregate to the largest site that does what they want it to do, and if Reddit becomes Facebook the issue is that we already have a Facebook... it's called Facebook.
