I'm not a fan of Reddit. But I wanna break the myth so....It's a far fetched lie that SN will ever replace reddit. However the truth is that It'll or it has already successfully replaced r/Bitcoin.

It might be far-fetched but also platforms are much less permanent than we imagine them to be.
There are a lot of people who love the Reddit format but hate how Reddit is managed. Stacker News is for all of them and they just have to figure that out.

It's a much more natural fit for Reddit refugees than TikTok refugees.
