The death of digg was pretty anti climactic compared to this standoff. I’ve been going to Reddit less and less over the years to the point where I try to avoid it now. It’s a huge echo chamber and the voting system caters to the lowest common denominator.

I do wonder if Reddit will pass the torch to a third platform or will this type of site die off. I don’t see the community surviving a very profit driven site which the IPO will force on them. I’m not sure what their moat is exactly other than the large userbase

Reddit also wasn't ready to absorb the outflow, it was pretty small at the beginning. It grew massive with time, just as the current Reddit alternatives might.

If someone can make Lemmy more resilient than Lemmy seems to be the answer.
