You've been kicked off Reddit. You need to design a brand new site. You hate Reddit. You hate liberals. You low-key hate the idea of voting on things. So you're designing a new website and the sky is the limit.
Why would you just do a reskinned version of the site you left? Even Lemmy-based chapo.chat is a little under-ambitious for my tastes. But hey, this is a community of less than 1000 people on most days. I understand expediency.
They've got way more than that. Fucking try a little harder, why don't you?

Have you even considered the reason they have 100k users is because they did emulate Reddit? It made leaving Reddit incredibly easy for their base.
Making a totally different site design is a bad way to migrate your base over.
I considered it. But then I dismissed it. Facebook has 1B users, and they don't use a Reddit interface. The interface is necessary but not sufficient.
Facebook didn't pop up as a replacement site to convert over users from Reddit.
