That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.
In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.
On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)
Let’s not poison ourself, thinking on “how to make them pay”. Let’s move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!
Wow, the fediverse at work: I posted on kbin and you’re replying from lemmy! This is awesome!
Oh?! That’s so cool. I have to admit I didn’t expect that.
You can’t even tell. I figured I was talking to people from Kbin, cause that’s where I am. Turns out most of you are on lemmy. It’s seamless a lot of the time.
@joneskind@lemmy.world now wait until you see that i’m replying here from a self hosted calckey instance! ^^
