Spez who?
I won’t forget Reddit entirely. For quite a few years , it was My Space…
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.
Already on it. Haven’t touched reddit in over a week.
Didn’t touch it for two weeks and realised I won’t be needing an account anymore
I’m only touching it to not miss my 7 day GDPR data download window. And after to run mirror scripts for 2-3 communities once.
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…
The decline happened over several years. There were also multiple discrete exit waves, just smaller ones.

😮
If ignoring bad behavior makes children stop playing their attention game, then it should certainly work on a billionaire.
If Musk and Huffman are having a money-hungry-child competition, I can’t tell who’s winning
That means that neither is winning.
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.
The irony of this post is astonishing
I see the irony of it
But here you are, on Lemmy, replying to it

-a smirk cracked his mouth, as he hit the Enter button to submit that comment. On Lemmy.
Just kill it with fire
Reddwhat? I have no recollection of any such thing.
Nowadays I mostly lurk Reddit very sporadically, tbh only when I finish with my Lemmy feed (doom scroll just got worse lol).
<OP posts to community devoted to discussion about Reddit>…
<Comments on post about Reddit, further perpetuating the thing he’s criticizing>
<Points out irony of the cycle we’ve created>
Wow, looks like you’re in here with me, huh?
I brought a 12 pack at least. Friends?
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.
