For celebrities, it feels like Instagram is the best prepared to capitalize on any migration from Twitter. But for news/politicians, I’m curious how well Reddit could do. The main difference being the central object on Reddit is the subreddit versus the individual user. Curious how much UX tweaks it’d take for more people to follow billgates/AOC on Reddit.

Too bad Meta laid them off too.

Reddit is a disaster. Even their Ask Me Anything is prehistoric compared to what it could be.

Outside of that look at HN as an example of an independent subreddit at its best.
