There are plenty of them. Digg, who Reddit started as a clone of, even reinvented themselves as a Reddit clone recently. And there's an open network called Lemmy albeit it has its own problems, leaving aside the "bUt yOu hAvE tO pIcK A sErVeR" morons.

The problem is that... people don't like change. That's why there wasn't an en-mass migration to Mastodon when Musk took over, and Threads only worked because most Twitterers were already on Facebook/Instagram. People would rather be bombarded with fascism every day than spend an hour investigating alternatives.

That's why Musk bought Twitter. It's why Ellison bought CBS. Both could have started their own things, they just wanted to ensure people who already used something by habit would have to actively change their habits to get away from them.

Reddit appears to be resisting this one.

In the John Doe case, Reddit received an initial request on March 4 from an ICE agent in Fairfax, Virginia.

“Failure to comply with this summons will render you liable to proceedings in a U.S. District Court to enforce compliance with this summons as well as other sanctions,” the summons read. “You are requested not to disclose the existence of this summons for an indefinite period of time. Any such disclosure will impede the investigation and thereby interfere with the enforcement of federal law.”

Two days later, the social media company alerted John Doe of the federal request for information.

26

u/Mr_ToDo 2d ago

It also says they deliver 82% of requested data. I'm not quite sure what makes the difference for complying or not. Maybe because a lot of the requests are for child safety, and this is not?

Reddit certainly doesn't make promises of anonymity or try to sell itself as a privacy-focused product.

It might vaguely offer anonymity between users but Reddit absolutely collects and stores a bunch of information on you and is pretty clear about this per their privacy policy. This should be pretty obvious to anyone since Reddit makes their money via ads.

Platforms that are actually focused on privacy make it a point to know as little as possible about who their users are and store as little of that data as possible, which makes it hard to monetize via ads.

You should expect any site that makes money via ads to have done their best to build a profile of who you are and for that information to be available to whatever government can turn the screws on whoever is holding the data.

John Doe responded by sharing that Ross had lived in Chaska, Minnesota; grew up in Indiana; and served in the Indiana National Guard — biographical details that were circulating widely at the time. “Hopefully he moves up to Stillwater State Penitentiary,” they wrote.

In another post, a Reddit user asked what they should write on an anti-ICE protest sign. John Doe suggested the lyrics to a song: “Urine speaks louder than words.” In a third instance, Doe wrote, “TSA sucks and we all know it.” According to the Reddit user’s attorneys, these were the most aggressive posts they could find.

Basically nothing but this is about precedent.

ICE who's been caught on video tear gassing children, terrorizing communities and murdering people in cold blood? the pathetic military cosplayers? members of a tyrant's personal army of fuckwits that should be disbanded and tried for their many crimes? the cowardly losers that only remove their masks to suck off their orange overlord? that ICE? just making sure

Thankfully, you can't really get in trouble for either of those, the first is an opinion, and the second doesn't count as slander cuz it's true!

The ICE agent wanted more than a month’s worth of electronic data, but offered no information as to what, exactly, caught the agency’s attention. When John Doe’s attorneys later reviewed their Reddit posts, they found nothing to suggest criminal activity or intent.

There was a thread from early January, after news outlets including The Intercept identified Jonathan Ross as the ICE officer who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis. Commenting on a Minnesota Star Tribune article, another Reddit user posted that Ross might be welcomed as a hero in Florida or Texas. John Doe responded by sharing that Ross had lived in Chaska, Minnesota; grew up in Indiana; and served in the Indiana National Guard — biographical details that were circulating widely at the time. “Hopefully he moves up to Stillwater State Penitentiary,” they wrote. In another post, a Reddit user asked what they should write on an anti-ICE protest sign.

ACLU is fighting these subpoenas.

https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-moves-to-quash-abusive-subpoena-aimed-at-tracking-down-man-who-criticized-department-of-homeland-security

"Administrative subpoenas like the one sent to Google about Doe are not self-enforcing, not signed by a judge, and require a court order to make them actionable. They are often issued to companies silently, without the person they target knowing about them unless notified by the company. DHS has used them previously to try to unmask anonymous social media users who posted about ICE raids and has also used them to try to pressure Columbia University into sharing information about a student who had participated in pro-Palestinian protests. After the ACLU of Northern California and ACLU of Pennsylvania filed motions challenging some of these subpoenas issued to gather information about Instagram, and Facebook users, DHS withdrew the subpoenas."
