    Convenient how Wired (who is owned by Conde Nast who is owned by Advance Publications who has a stake of ownership in Reddit) mentions that “Like with Twitter, no clear alternative has emerged as a replacement.” and fails to mentioned the fediverse or forums.

      I mean. I’m going back and forth between Lemmy and kbin, but let’s not kid ourselves. We’re not at a Digg-level exodus yet. The, for lack of a better word, hardcore users are moving on, but the casual redditors aren’t showing signs of going anywhere.

      Not saying it might not happen, but we’re not there yet IMO.

        Reddit has so much more content than Digg that you really only need a small fraction of that on your new thing for that new thing to be viable.

          This.

          And this place doesn’t need to be the place where 50 million redditors go overnight.

          It can’t be. That would crush it.

          But just as the Fediverse microblogging space has seen steady growth following Elon taking over Twitter, this space will see steady growth, too. And it’s ok if that growth doesn’t include people that don’t understand that Reddit is a website and not just an app that lives on their phone or whatever.

          They can come later when there’s more and better support for them.
