That's not true. It may be true in r/technology, but reddit hasn't won. It's just that those still on Reddit didn't make it.

We showed that we care, and we showed that we can dump them. Reddit is currently dying. It may be a slow process, but I don't think the enshittification of reddit will stop.

Yep, and while Lemmy was rough around the edges when people started looking for alternatives, now there's a glut of great clients and active communities. Reddit only needs one more screw up before the remaining users find a compelling alternative.

And the screwup will come. Either in another big blow or gradually.
