MODERATORS
It seems like the people who actually cared about Reddit and the community left for Lemmy (and others). It definitely shows.
Reddit will learn very quickly that there is nothing particularly special about it. It's a forum. With the people who posted and moderated on there being chased away or even banned, there isn't going to be much of value left on Reddit going forward.
I agree. I think Reddit is delusional if they think they will be able to successfully monetize what are essentially just forums. Reddit users themselves don't give a hoot about Reddit as a brand, company, or product. They care about communities and being able to have discussions on their favorite subjects. There's no secret sauce proprietary to Reddit at all and people will go where ever everyone else is
It will probably continue as a shell... Like Digg, Facebook and other failed social medias that once were golden.
Yeah, I don't think Reddit is going anywhere, but it won't be as good as it used to be.
Yeah, couldn't have put it much better myself. I'm fine with it, let them stay.
The only thing special about Reddit now it that it became insanely popular and got its hooks into millions of people. Those who are interested in actual discussion will go elsewhere, and those who want to mindlessly doomscroll reposted memes and have ads shoved in their face will stay. That's where they belong.
