I’ve heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.
I can’t find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what’s going on?
I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big “Rexxit” event, but I’m not seeing anything happening to cause one.
There’s no alternative to Reddit? Wh… What am I using right now? Am I hallucinating?
Yes. This is all a fever dream!
Like I said. It took years for people to leave twitter and it was only because bluesky had open sign-ups.
They don’t want the fediverse. They want giant corporate sites that make things “easy” and involve no thought.
So no, lemmy is not an alternative to the vast majority of reddit.
I’m not that smart and Lemmy is pretty easy. The problem is it’s federated and I did have to hop servers once and most people really don’t want to bother with that added complexity.
But give it time. Mastodon was small for years and never grew quickly, but because it’s federated, it is not going away.
