Just kidding, I read that too in that article and it stuck out like a sore thumb. I hadn't seen bland discussions on here. Yes, there are likeminded people on here, but that doesn't necessarily make for passive and dull comments. Author actually admits to having half-assed most of the ones on the list, later on in the 'article'.
Sorry but 52 websites is a lot. You're damn right I'm going to copy and paste that into Medium as it's nicer looking and I wanted a mirror in case it got killed.
I half assed some of the various clones, and it was meant to be a list with a tentative amount of information, but I did spend a week here lurking and at the end of the day it's come from a regular person no different from any one of you here. If anyone else wants to put the effort into compiling that list, hell use mine as a base as it is a massive task, do so with their own opinions I encourage them to do so.
I was quite harsh with what I said, I realize that and apologize for insulting you.
You're right, 52 is a lot to check up on in that short amount of time.
I misinterpreted your words and I was responding, much like how /u/VoyagerXyX was on my gut feeling.
But that's not an excuse. I should've stepped back and look at the article with a clearer head. I'll do better next time.
Don't worry about it, we've all been there, and these responses if anything have actually made me like Snapzu more because while there's a divided opinion here it's well thought out and respectful.
I get it... but I don't think that's an excuse to take stabs at communities you've spent zero time and effort to be a part of. Like he got to know people, visited all our tribes and became an active participating member, than did it for 11 other sites, then reached a point in his involvement where he felt comfortable taking stabs at our community... Stretch.
Booooooooooooooooring.

btw, the author was really lazy, here's the exact same article on Medium.com: https://medium.com/@sobeyharker/52-alternatives-to-reddit-1a9dcf5e0658

I know, and I didn't mean it to excuse the author, because this community is far from dull.
No, I totally get where you're coming from. I didn't take it as you defending the words. :P
