View submission: Scaling Reddit’s Community Points with Arbitrum
Happy to see that Reddit chose a true Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, which means that the Layer 2 (Arbitrum) inherits Ethereum's base layer security guarantees, as opposed to side-chains, which do not.
And of course, happy that the base layer is Ethereum since it is the only decentralized, permissionless, credibly neutral, general purpose blockchain in existence right now.
Well done.

Too many don't understand the difference between a side-chain and true Layer 2. I think it's a shame loopring never took off whereas MATIC network exploded.

This is going to be built on a new centralized (controlled by FTX, Reddit, and Consensys) sidechain called Arbitrum Nova.
