It's possible to write a bear perspective on any company of any size. I remember reading the ones about how Facebook would never make money around the time of Facebook's IPO. Those turned out to be wrong, to put it lightly.
Calling Reddit mods "retards" is a disservice to the mentally handicapped. They are, in the aggregate, in no way a benefit to the site or to human civilization. Anyone who has actually used the site for any length of time, and ever ventures out of the likes of /r/politics and /r/worldnews, knows this.
None of this takes away from the fact that Reddit is, in the aggregate, (as others have said) the single largest collection of discussions on Earth. Bigger than 50 years of every mailserv combined, 45 years of Usenet, 20 years of Facebook comments, or 15 years of Stack Exchange. Expecting Lemmy or Mastadon to supplant it is futile.
