Reddit doesn't make crazy profits, and it's sort of hard to see a way to monetize a similar product without becoming what you're trying to replace.

Good point - the "open source/non-profit" energies seem to be focused on things like mastodon and simple forums, and competitors that aren't trying for venture capital such as Facebook would just want you to use their offering instead. I suspect for many people, "Facebook Groups" is their Reddit replacement.
