reddit will be fine lmao people thinking reddit is actually doing to die down because of other, subpar websites
it will be fine in exactly the same way Twitter is fine ... by making up win conditions after the fact
Realistically, this will end like Twitter migration. Some going to move, but most of them still using Twitter (or Reddit).
A lot of Twitter is going to bluesky. And the bluesky people keep kicking the assholes off. Also, bluesky is making its own federation. So, run am I stance of bluesky for your own groups/world.
The unthinking sheeple who remain behind, the lowest common denominator of humanity.... I won't really miss them, honestly.
Pretty much my thought. While I don't like Elon and hate twitter, its still hanging around. Everyone said it would die off, but it unfortunately has not yet. Some people have moved to another place, but some that have realized those "other places" weren't as good as twitter itself, so some moved back to twitter as well.
I see the Reddit shills are coming in in force
not at all, I am not a "reddit shill", just realistic. I could care less if reddit is used or something else, I just don't see a subpar site taking reddits place anytime soon
Actually a good sign.
Expecting that reddit will go down within weeks: Unreasonable.
Expecting that reddit will have a slow and painful death and that spez completely fucked up the upcoming IPO and the long term future of the platform? Absolutely reasonable.
Yeah, I never understand people who assume something unreasonable on their own and then went "see? I'm right, you're wrong. I'm just being realistic (by assuming unrealistic things about the points made by the other side when that's not what anyone is saying)". Of course you are right, a meaningless kind of right.
That is pretty much what I am saying for the most part. It will take another site that is actually good for reddit to fully die out, but that will take time. It aint happening in the span of a couple weeks, we are talking a lot more time than that.
Those other, subpar sites like Slashdot and Digg.
Never even heard of those, so probably pretty bad
