Personally, I’m at the point where I don’t really give a fuck what happens to Reddit either way, but I lean towards wanting them to continue existing as the easy low effort option for someone looking for that kind of an experience. If people chasing profit don’t think the fediverse is worth exploiting like they have been doing with Reddit, that would be a plus, but it would require Reddit to stay more popular (or for some other platform to rise above).
This place isn’t the utopia it first seemed to be when I joined, but it’s still way better than Reddit has been for years, at least when it comes to tone of the discussion threads.
This is why I have been pressing the ONLY solution to this for the past month.
Do you want change? Leave Reddit. Delete the app. Never go back.
