I’ve been seeing a lot of angst and emotion on the Reddit migration, which results in either defeatism or blind optimism. In the end, it probably doesn’t matter, but I wanted to do more fact-based research into the subject.
I put my findings and my analysis into what it would actually take to kill Reddit, based on the deaths of Digg and MySpace. tl;dr it’s a lot less dramatic than most people would think.
Indeed, this makes sense. I’m looking forward to see where the fediverse will be a year from now (and whether I’ll still be occasionally peaking at reddit).
Hopefully in 1-2 years the fediverse will be flush with members, instances, and content. Just give it time
