“If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators[…]. If […] at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.”
Um yeah I don’t think that the ones geared towards casuals and super niche enthusiast subs like /r/MachineEmbroidery/ and /r/baduk will migrate with the already low amount of traffic they generate on Reddit… Reddit needs to do something on the level of being SUPER DRASTIC to let that happen. The most important thing about Reddit is that it’s convenient to browse, they have to make it super inconvenient like imagine every subreddit blacking out (and exceptions don’t count) then users will flock elsewhere (but most likely Twitter and Facebook again because no end users are going to bother learning what “the fediverse” is when signing up for an account is already a huge hurdle for them. The only way to make an Lemmy strive is that they can offer something UNIQUE that nothing on Reddit can. Maybe let’s say there’s an upcoming video game, and the wiki makers/number crunchers of that game decide to host their content and research on Lemmy… and do not allow Reddit to repost there (but linking is important in order to refer them to Lemmy)… like that we can have some semblance of hope.
