Most 3rd party Reddit apps will be gone, and Reddit have shown willingness to move to a far more closed model than it used to be. Mods were and are not the only ones to leave.
Yeah people like you and me care about that, but let’s face it, if the average user cared about how shitty social media sites treat them then FB and Twitter would be deserts
FB is a desert compared with the old days, and Twitter will get there as well. Maybe the “AI revolution” can replace all the organic human content with fake people, but that’s about their only chance long term. If you can even call such a thing a “win”.
Twitter has also seen a mass exodus in the last few months in favor of a more open platform. And there’s a real difference about Facebook in that on Facebook, you connect with people you know, so it’s important to be on the same platform as them. It’s harder for someone to leave the platform unless most of their friends move as well. Unsurprisingly, Messenger and Instagram are also really efficient in that regard.
This is not so true on Reddit, where people interacting usually don’t know one another. What matters is the community, and communities can be smaller.
Well, that’s how I use those platforms anyway, so obviously take this with a grain of salt.
My take is slightly different. Apart from content you would find of Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok, what makes reddit powerful is human experts, especially in STEM and tech. I see many of these people leaving and reddit becoming a meme + yt comments platform.

I hope that is the case with FB but according to my American friends it’s still the social media site of choice for racist uncles everywhere

Do you remember Orkut? Digg? Slashdot?
Revisit Reddit one, two, three years from now. I think you might be surprised.
Something something remind me robot
I think you’re right though. We are witnessing a seismic shift is how we interact online.
I wasn’t a technical personal. I used bacon reader. Now I can’t so it’s so long reddit hello Lemmy. Easy transition

Lemmy actually has a really good API. Moderation tools are pretty simple though.
