This is a golden opportunity for any competitor to release a Reddit clone and heavily market it. They could easily go after mods and community leaders and entice them to bring over their subs and think of a migration path. This could be the moment when Reddit splits in half and once many people move the rest follow.


There are several clones. They all follow the same pattern.

  1) clone Reddit
  2) must attract users because Reddit's value is in the large user base
  3) the only early adopters are the ones who are banned from Reddit
  4) curious 'normies' visit the clone to find it is full of white nationalists
  5) clone dies
e.g. Voat
