Just do what you can on Lemmy for now and wait for the users to make their way over. It will take a couple years but as long as the quality here is better, people will slowly but steadily make the transition. And it won’t be hard to beat out reddit in user experience, we all know how far they have fallen and it’s only getting worse after they IPO.
Not really, I already knew reddit was shit before I left. I just didn’t know of any alternative. I’m also not suggesting that our success is reliant on reddit’s failure.
I’m in full agreement with him, reddit hasn’t changed much at all, but Lemmy has reminded us that there could be something much better again.
I don’t think he was debunking the idea that reddit might eventually fall, but rather that they would fall overnight, as some people here like to imply. Also worth mentioning that Microsoft and Apple are generational tech companies while reddit is a social media platform that’s much more susceptible to rapid decline.

This is the exact sort of thinking maegul was attempting to debunk…
