I think it is:
Reddit-> ????
Twitter: One Way Small Texts
Reddit-> ????
Twitter: One Way Small Texts
I'm also not sure what you mean by "one way" texts. That seems to describe the format of Twitter, rather than its use case. Why would someone want to send a small text to no one in particular?
Not many people outside HN Crowd or tech knows about reddit; many of those regular fols use Facebook for reddit-related things like discussions, meme, groups, meetings etc. So, for a common user (not HN Crowd), Reddit is unknown -> ????.
Same with twitter, as one of the above post said User thinks Twitter is for Celebrities, so they follow, & think that Twitter is for one way communication from Celebrities from a higher stage, saying their opinions & User may reply to that Celeb, but it will be drowned in other 100s of replies, just like as if a Politician is talking from a stage higher up & any of the audience member's voice will not be that high/hearable & also that that Politician is not talking one-to-one with that particular user; albeit as one-to-many users as in collective audience.
I don't see any evidence that people in general assume the name of a site must literally describe its purpose, or that anyone is confused when it doesn't. Amazon.com seems to do fine, despite not being a site about the Amazon.

Reddit ranks as one of the top 10 most visited sites among American users, and is in the top 20 worldwide. You can find articles about it surpassing Facebook in popularity last year.
Sorry if you misunderstood me, nowhere I meant to say that a site domain needs to be descriptive of its function. I meant that if you ask a common folk about facebook, they will respond with social media, instagram-> photos, youtube->videos. The domain could be anything, I was just stating that if common people could say what is that site about after listening the name.

Of course, the Reddit is Front Page of Internet, its the most visited site on all of my devices. When I have nothing to click, I always go to either reddit or /r/all.
My observation group in my above comments were people around me; my siblings, relatives, friends from India in India, Qatar, USA; by no means a representative sample but just people around me.
It has the "logged out" snapshot of what's going on in the world/internet use case, much like digg or slashdot or fark fulfilled in the past.
Then when you get tired or annoyed by that it has the "curate what you want to see" use case.
The one audience tends to transition to the other over time but there's a huge amount of people who visit reddit for the first and not the second.
