I am not referring to Reddit's technical infrastructure, but to their mod abuse and banningculture, abusive powermods such as Ani625, their aggressive censorship and all the other issues that incited the creation of alternatives (e.g. 2014: Voat.co, 2016: Phuks.co, 2017: Saidit.net and obviously 2018: Poal. co). (Reference: Reddit was founded in 2005.)

Now imagine we didn't have Poal.co or any Reddit alternative.

Reddit as a total monopoly of its kind sounds dystopian, and Internet users would be exposed to all of its problems with no other place to migrate to.
