I wonder if Reddit has surpassed Twitter, Snapchat, etc, for the title of most popular non-Facebook social network. You rarely see anyone do any kind of comparison of them.

Note that FB owns 4 out of the top 6 social media platforms on that list. That's how dominant FB really is.
- user accounts and profiles (users have their own "subreddit") - friends list (and block list) - live chat - personalizable feed - communities
So yeah, it's a social network that looks a lot like a message board, and it has been getting more and more social features.
That's the reason I'm leaving Reddit. I liked how it was a while ago, but the recent changes and the culture just aren't my cup of tea anymore. Discussion is still mostly okay, but there's just far too much noise.
