Facebook made a Twitter (now X) clone (Threads) and has reportedly more users than X now [1]. They have also started a Reddit clone as well now (Forum)[2]. Not sure if that one will be a success as well though, as Reddit isn't loosing users like X is.

Reddit was waiting for Digg to have an incident and milked it to billions. Why was there no project waiting for Reddit to have an incident? (It has had many).

These things go in cycles, we’ll be back - or potentially something better will come along.
