    Techies will care, most people won’t. Niche communities will still be on Reddit. It’s just easier and data never gets lost (as has proven to be the case many times in the fediverse).

      Not lost entirely, but there have been tons of times lately where the answers I look to reddit for are deleted or the discourse in the comments is peppered with deletions to the point that the narrative is gone.

        That probably happens only to anti-reddit propaganda posts. If you just be a good little boy and lead your sheep on your sub, everyone should be fine.

      You’re 100% correct, but I think this issue has a time limit. Fediverse already can pretty much do everything reddit and twitter does, but still has loads of potential to innovate in areas that those services won’t/can’t.

      Yep, but the ball is already rolling. If you mostly use the big subs the present, post-API-crisis Lemmy will work just about as well for you, and every time another user is added it makes it more viable. Probably at a rate of over one potential user per user added.

      Plus, unlike traditional social media, it’s not a monolith and can’t really die. Either Reddit lasts forever or Lemmy takes it’s place eventually.
