Honestly... We're all (or a massive chunk of us are) Reddit refugees. I don't give many fucks about that place. If it thrives, whatever. It's out of my control. I'm not going to hate post here with fantasies of spez seeing it and being like, "WHYYYYY?"
What little I've seen here seems like a disproportionate amount of passionate and quality users came over here. Users that were likely a bit more than casual; ie we we invested enough to use 3rd party clients, some of us are probably former mods who got disillusioned, etc.
We're all giddy and it is the honeymoon phase and I HOPE HOPE HOPE the users' enthusiasm doesn't fizzle like Mastodon seems to but I would say, just use this. Enjoy it. Post worthwhile things. I don't think Reddit is necessarily going away, but if it's just some weird bot riddled, low effort posts sort of place, why would we want to be there anyway?
The fediverse will probably last as long as the internet does, if the BBS is anything to go by. And I've seen people starting to realize federation is an actually decent option at the very least.
