Most normal people don't admit to using Reddit, and it is not a platform you use to connect with friends in real life. Facebook has a different use case entirely.
Fair enough, still feels like we are comparing nestle with your city's local chain of 7 minimarkets, sure I might have a few more acquaintances that use reddit but that is not 100% of them. I did a quick search from my phone, hope the sites is reliable and that I didn't fuck up anything
According to this reddit had just under 75 million daily active users in q3 2023 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1453149/reddit-quarterly-dau-by-region/
In the same q, Facebook had https://www.statista.com/statistics/346167/facebook-global-dau/ 2110
So reddit need to grow another order of magnitude for op statement that it is comparable to fb in its dominance to become remotely true. Ideally two orders of magnitude.
I get it, we have all spent too much time on reddit for years and feel like that's basically the whole of the internet but we are biased, there is a whole majority of people out there that don't even know that exists
