A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Imma be real, this sounds like you're massively overestimating the amount of people that actually care about this whole thing. Yes, you'll probably get less content, but not enough to really matter for many people.
The casual reddit user would be back once their favorite subs are back online and will go about their day like before.
Maybe once the third party apps shut down and people really don't want to move to the official app you might get something.
I got no idea what would happen if enough mods quit, and a lot of subs couldn't run properly anymore. For the biggest subs you might get paid mods from reddit themselves, but no idea what will happen to the smaller subs.
Agreed. I'm definitely waiting in anticipation of the end of the month to see what happens. Regardless, lemmy is my new home. Fediverse is just a great concept, looking forward to it maturing.
Depending on how everything works out, I don't think I can move over to lemmy completely just yet. There are a ton of smaller communities, that are still missing here and might never move over.
For a lot of topics, especially specific games, there's often some Discord server, but I really don't like using Discord.
What I definitely try to change is stop the mindless doomscrolling I did too much on Reddit, and just check specific subs occasionally.
The casual reddit user just lurks though. If the active users move, the quality of the site will go down (even more).
