Spez who?
Just kill it with fire
Nowadays I mostly lurk Reddit very sporadically, tbh only when I finish with my Lemmy feed (doom scroll just got worse lol).
The fuck spez people will get tired eventually and either move on or stay on the site. Just move on at your own pace, thinking about it won’t change much.
I don’t know who that is but fuck that guy.
I dunno, I get a sort of schadenfreude when Reddit fucks up bigly but I can’t say that I care enough to want to see it fail. When they screw up, the feeling isn’t so much malicious gratification but more relief at finding something better before Huffman Musked it up. Given that there’s a full community devoted to gleefully watching reddit burn, my opinion is probably in the minority. Still, glad that lemmy’s so great.
I still visit reddit to get relevant info to cross post to the communities I’m keeping alive here on Lemmy. And I’ve noticed a significant decline in the subbs I used to frequent. I can’t be the only one noticing this? I mean like it’s extremely easy to notice as you might go days without content on several subreddits that used be active. They are niche subs, but still…
I’d have no way of knowing. They shut down the API so I guess I’ll never know.
The decline happened over several years. There were also multiple discrete exit waves, just smaller ones.

Wow, looks like you’re in here with me, huh?
I brought a 12 pack at least. Friends?
I think it would take half as long to die as it did to become a monolith. It’s almost twenty so ten years. But I don’t know, could happen faster. I’d say for sure it’s not going to get any bigger. How much growth have the other major media sites seen since the profit mongering started?
I think it impossible to say if something like Lemmy and federated social media is going to replace Reddit, but it’s interesting participating in a potential shift and watching the evolution of how the internet organises itself.
I’m also quite shitfaced.
Upvote for being shitfaced.
Lemmy has already replaced Reddit. For me. It took three years.
Very coherent comment considering your shitfacedness.
Shouts out to autocorrect 🤣
The irony of this post is astonishing
I see the irony of it
But here you are, on Lemmy, replying to it
Read it who ?
is it a new trend or something?

I’m pretty sure “we’re” not doing the r/place protest. Lemmy has 63k active users per month, per the most recent user stats. Reddit pre-protest had 52 million daily active users and 450 million monthly active users.
I’m sure Reddit’s metrics have probably taken a hit, but it’s going to be the future people leaving Reddit for alternatives that kill it, not Lemmings that have already jumped ship shunning it. One small subreddit could individually take over Lemmy.
I like Lemmy, but it’s pure hubris to think that we would even be noticed by Reddit, outside of being a place to siphon users away to.

Let them keep Digging their own grave
I see, what you did there
Lemmy tell you, that was a good one.
Do to Steve what he did to Aaron
😮
A perfect death for whom?
Redis I think? Some sort of database caching thing.

Red-IT? Like the clown balloon?
You realize that most people never even know what Reddit is nevermind who its CEO is.
Now, check who knows what Slashdot, Orkut and Digg were, and who ran them. Allow for a few years to pass.
Hey Google. Bring back Orkut.
