Right after Digg’s fatal screw up in 2010 (switching from user content to publisher content), their traffic dropped by 25% and Reddit’s grew by 230%. Then it was a slow bleed over the next few years. I’ll be interested to see how the Reddit to Threadiverse numbers compare.

Some people may never return to Reddit, some will maintain a Reddit presence while simultaneously having a presence in Lemmy and other forums. Then slowly, they will be able to discern the difference in quality, and maybe leave Reddit for good.

So it is very important to have each of our Lemmy instance population have meaningful contributions and keep our boards alive and maintain some semblance of quality content. This will end Reddit. If others have better quality as compared to Reddit, then Reddit will be doomed.

I have no doubt Reddit will continue to shamble onwards as a rotting husk for years, but I'm not going back. I never really liked it to begin with.

Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit's recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.
