      I’ve used Lemmy exclusively since the day the Apollo iOS app stopped working. Don’t miss Reddit at all.

    What I find funny in Reddit is that it’s clearly a vassal state of Big Tech, but pretending to be part of it. No, you greedy pigboy - you don’t take the shots here, your suzerain Alphabet/Google does; a meaningful part of your traffic comes from Google Search, this means that Google can literally kill your platform if it desires so.

    You could instead rely on a stable and loyal userbase, promoting Reddit by word-of-mouth. Oh wait, where is this userbase? “Landed gentry”, as you call it?

    I’ll go further: given the recent political movements, I predict that Musk and his yellow-haired dog will go after Reddit, since Reddit quarantined and banned the dog’s sub. Pigboy will get wrecked in the process.
