Reddit is the only platform that makes sense as a protocol.

The problem is not the protocol. But the user network. And the server network. And the ad network. They need to be made into protocols too.

Imagine git. Now imagine github. Now imagine gitlab. Github owns the entire social networking on its platform. It is not distributed at all. So does gitlab.

Git isn't a particularly great example because it wasn't distributed to begin with, it was standalone.

Github et. al added the connectivity and social aspects layered on top of what is fundamentally a version control tool.

Torrenting or cryptocurrencies are better examples, where fundamentally they are social in nature and in the case of torrenting it's ridiculously easy to jump from provider to provider.

You are right! Crypto checks all the boxes. Wallets are like users. Mining is like ad network. Ledger is like content.

but it's resource intensive.
