Hoping this doesn’t meet the same fate, but with not enough people ditching reddit, it’s hard to see it turning out much different.

If you’re expecting everyone to leave Reddit, you’re going to be disappointed. Most Reddit users do. Not. Care. They’ll stay for as long as Reddit entertains them.

The Twitter migration was actually a really great thing for the Fediverse. It diversified Mastodon, and made it an actually lively space. It’s still a nerdy space, but it’s so much more than it was. It’s a genuinely general and engaging microblogging space. And while, yes, it doesn’t have everything that draws the Twitter clout chasers, celebrity watchers, and journalists or politicians, it’s a viable alternative for people who are looking to actually engage with each other.

The same is true here, and will be true after tomorrow.

Edit: Autocorrect hates me

I don’t think it’s a question of enough people ditching Reddit, but just enough to create and/or provide quality content.

And really that doesn’t matter as much as participating in a platform that’s free of all the BS Reddit evolved into. Fediverse has a platform free of almost everything long term Redditors came to hate.

I suspect that I’m amongst the majority here in that I still use reddit as well as Kbin - at present the fediverse front ends just need time to introduce features to make them more usable.
