    I've been looking for a replacement for reddit for several years, ever since the failings of reddit's moderation system bit me in the ass. Only recently did I learn of a subreddit called "redditalternatives" where I found people advertising snapzu. I snagged an invitation code and I've been logging into both sites ever since.

    I'm trying to gently coax friends on reddit to come over here, but most seem content to continue there.

      I learned about snapzu from the same subreddit aswell. Idea of new beginning and snapzus automatic cross-post feature are what drew me in.

      I found it through Reddit as well. I was just tired of the Reddit and the drama there.

        I found it through Reddit and was sick of the hate mongers and childish behavior. When I heard of this place, I checked it out and joined up. I've spent less and less time there but have discovered a few trolls have arrived and are trying to infect the place.

      Eh, the thing is, when something's familiar, it's hard to break someone away from what they know. Plus, the content here is slow-moving at the moment - dependent on what / how many tribes you join; your mileage will vary. Adding AskSnapzu to the top bar really got conversations flowing, which is definitely a plus.

      As for Reddit, yes, a lot of the underlying issues creeping up are bad - but most of that won't affect the general user in their day-to-day. And, like here, your experience on Reddit changes drastically when you unsub from the circlejerk crapfests, and start subbing to more niche subs that pertain more to your interests. While I don't agree with the direction Reddit is headed, my overall experience there is still a rather pleasant one. I split my time between Reddit, Snapzu, and Voat pretty equally, for the most part.
