Well, the website and mobile app are overwhelmingly hated (just look at the reviews on the PlayStore). I think there are two major things helping Reddit: It’s easy to grasp (Lemmy has instances, dozens of different apps, etc.) and the fact that Reddit already has a community for basically everything.

ReviewMeta can also help filtering out fake reviews.

The renaissance of free streaming.

Nobody should use Telegram, in my opinion. It’s run by a shady company that doesn’t even disclose the inner workings of their service properly, uses a non-standard encryption protocol and doesn’t even encrypt chats by default. The only thing I like about Telegram is the fact that you don’t have to expose your phone number to use it.
