    IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it’s the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.

    It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn’t exist yet, but they’ll be here in the Fediverse with us.

    Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.

      There’s no reason to believe they will move on to another version of reddit. There’s no reason to believe they will interact with the fediverse.

      They could simply stop browsing news aggregators

        Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people
