Reddit doesn’t need to be destroyed in order for Lemmy to succeed. There is plenty of room on the internet for multiple communities.
Digg still exists. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, but I think the quality of posts will fall off.
Digg has had a bit of a weird history. They tried to relaunch as an RSS reader, which was pretty cool, right in the wake of Google killing reader.
Now it looks like they’re a buzzfeed knockoff. Meh
Right. I’d be happy for the IPO to go south just for petty vengeance, but I’m not angry about Reddit. It’s been good to me for years, until it wasn’t.
I’m on lemmy now, and I’m happy here. Don’t need Reddit to burn, my needs are fulfilled. They can do what they want, and the world keeps turning.
