If this is even a concern for you, you probably are the type of person who thinks an idea -- not its execution -- is where the value is. You're probably the type of person who mitigates problems that don't exist, instead of grabbing your balls and failing fast, so you can move on to the next problem.

Reddit's code is open source. Do you think they give a fuck if you start another Reddit? They're not stupid.
