I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉
I think Reddit will slowly bleed users as the experience gets worse but it won’t collapse altogether. It’s not likely that any one service will replace it but I could see a series of successors come about eventually.
I agree. I see it as becoming like Slashdot. Making ad revenue but deserted by the core people who made the site what it was.
