Are TikTok and X users often asking for a protocol to replace their platform? Reddit does.

The tech is here. The issue is network effect. We need to pick a reddit community and convince all of them to move to nostr all at once.
I disagree with brigading, but I think in time Nostr will prove to be the clear option. For the most part reddit has gone downhill a lot, but there are still lots of users who are looking for something better.
To be fair, that's r/nostr and most Redditors are left wing and don't think there is an issue with the platform because it is a liberal hivemind.
Need proof? Go check out 20+ random subs and look at how many had a "Ban X links in this sub because Elon is a Nazi" and look at the upvotes and comments.
I believe 90% of those are bots. Reddit had a strong Libertarian slant when it first started. In 2008 most of the front page was Ron Paul posts.
Reddit users would flock to nostr if we had a working reddit clone. The tech framework is there, somebody just needs to build the client like how #olas is an instagram clone. Stacker.news exists and is very similar to reddit visually, and supports zapping posts, but is centralized, and isn't built on top of nostr. Plenty of reddit users migrated to lemmy and lemmy is still quite active compared to nostr.
