    It was reddit's biggest slipup yet. Reddit might slowly die within the next few months. The problem is the community will either all go to voat, or all go to snapzu. I'm thinking everyone will move to voat, just because it's a pure clone of reddit.

      Oh I don't think reddit will die within the next few months. Sure, a lot of people may leave and a lot of people will come here, or go to another site, and at the end of the day reddit may not look like it does today, but it is not going anywhere.

      There are too many subreddits that are not impacted by the recent events. I didn't hear about anything until Friday night because I am never on the front page. As soon as I open reddit, I am in my own little world of small subreddits that I subscribe to.

      Stacksity and Hubski have also been advertised a fair amount and fit the same role Reddit did, so I can see them being dark horse contenders.

      Aether has also looked interesting as sort of a midway point between Reddit and the Chans, with the usable interface of the former and the anonymity of the latter.

      That implies you can actually do anything on Voat besides stare at a Server Too Busy page. It's finally up, but they were down for 2 days during the blackout.
