There'll be another wave. It'll be significant, by current threadiverse standards, but not by Reddit standards. Servers will strain some people will be unreasonable about the degraded experience. Some others won't be. Resources will catch up as new instances come online. Things will relatively quickly return to organic growth.
@Kichae@kbin.social there will be several waves as Reddit deteriorates by the lack of tools and moderation.
There could be if we see a series of catastrophic collapses of major subreddits, but my gut feeling is that that's not how it'll play out. Instead, I think we'll see Reddit kick out the activist mods and things superficially go back to "normal".
It'll just be a generally degraded experience.
Waves occur when there's a big splash. Twitter waves happened every time Elon did an Elon thing, for instance. But sustained and persistent movement as people reach their limit with Reddit's decline in quality seems more like what'll happen here.
