Huh? If reddit is a political soapbox for you, you're not subscribed to the right subreddits. They already offer something fun by default: the homepage consists of nearly only funny posts when I open it in a private tab right now. And that formula clearly worked

Reddit has lots of politics on the default front page, even on subs that aren't explicitly political. But my point was that a reddit replacement needs to have all the fun stuff that attracted reddit's userbase. It can't just be the political extremists who have been permabanned.
