This is honestly probably for the best. It’s a really bad idea that we’ve let reddit monopolize niche knowledge
HE will not concede - it’s jut not in his nature. There is a remote chance that he could be forcibly evicted by those that he must report to, but it would take a sudden and rather dramatic drop in the quality of content (hahaha I can’t even say that with a straight face) amount of money they receive from advertising to make that happen. Thus that is unlikely to happen either.
In any case, does it matter? Now that we’ve all woken up from the spell - the illusion that things could be both “easy” and free while still being controlled by a for-profit company, just like with wikipedia but without the hassle of it needing donations to continue going forward - why would we ever want to go back, regardless?
I’m petty sure (and hope) that Reddit will slowly die. If a s% of the users creating content that are not bots move to Lemmy of kbin, it’s game over for them eventually.
The only thing that’s quite sad is the amount of information you can find for an insane amount of problems. I hope that everything will get archived somehow.
“monopolizing niche knowledge”, that’s a good way of framing. Live & learn… never again
Havent been on reddit for 24 hours, havent felt the urge to check it either now that I have lemmy tbh
Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.
After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it’s amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I’m basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.
I’m also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.

And therefore I presume getting down-voted. It’s not enough that you are offering a helpful alternative, they want to not only be happy miserable in their chosen place, but for all other places to not be allowed to exist either. :-(
Maybe it’s because I ejected the default subs out of my list a long time ago, but I haven’t gotten downvotes for it at all
Took me like a week to stop the muscle memory of typing reddit.com into the address bar, but, I’m here to stay now.
Lemmy is so damn good as is wefwef that I just don’t miss Reddit
