What does this have to do with what I wrote?

Why are those niches on Reddit if Reddit isn't giving away faux forums?

Odd because I get the impression you prefer the communities those little dictators create to be on a google crawlable site over discord.

You are suggesting that those users will go away from Reddit to form separate dedicated communities, and I am saying that they will try but fail to attract people.

Reddit allows the vast majority of the subs that participate in the blackout to survive simply because they are a part of Reddit and benefit from its infrastructure and features.

You really think a website dedicated to cute animals will attract 34M subscribers like /r/aww? And another one with the exact same theme will attract 4M subscribers (with a lot of overlap) like /r/Eyebleach?

Those communities exist and strive because the barrier to entry is literally non-existent. It takes one input to create them and one click to join them.

I would prefer if there were no little dictators, with elections every 3 months, showing detailed stats of the moderators actions, and most of the moderation to be in the style of StackOverflow, so community driven.
