@thiccdiccnicc Digg, myspace and heck ebaumsworld were all places that eventually started dying at some point. I just deleted my 3rd party app for Reddit to prevent my autopilot from clicking on the icon. If someone like me is done with Reddit, I imagine there’s many that feel the same way. In fact, even if spez stepped down, I don’t think I’d return to a centralized platform anymore.
Perhaps it is dying, it’s still to early to know yet. We’ve sung the song about Facebook dying for ages and here it is, still dominating by numbers. Lemmy and federation in general has some work to be done (which I am actually putting effort into!) in order to adsorb the userbase of a tech behemoth like Reddit.
Are we making great process? Yes! But to start saying “dies like Reddit did” or an equivalent superficial statement is putting the cart before the horse, no?
But Reddit is hardly irrelevant. they are still MASSIVE compared to those examples
