When the user revolt ends—if it ever does—Reddit’s community won’t ever be the same.

“They’re shooting themselves in the foot,” Mir says. “The content of the users is what makes the platform worth visiting. These hosts kind of run into this confusion that their hosting is the reason people are going there, but it’s really for the other users on the medium.”

    honestly, part of the reason I made a lemmy account at all is because it feels a little like reddit when I first started using it – pretty niche, and less toxic and low-quality because of it.

    reddit in the last few years has become very toxic. The smaller communities are still okay, but on all of the main subs it’s just page after page of the same snarky jokes and tired memes.

    so while more growth would be nice, I’m fine if most of reddit stays on reddit in the short-term. the fediverse can be its own thing.
