Here here! For all it's weaknesses, I'm learning to love Lemmy and it's strengths.
I was banned from reddit so to me lemmy is a place I get to have a voice again.
Also it’s really cool to see the precise up and down numbers instead of reddit’s intentionally-obfuscated probabilistically nonoffensive “scores”.
10+ years from now reddit will be at reduced popularity, but still a major player in the social media scene. i say this because i left other social media sites before the term "social media" existed and those old sites are still chugging along, making money for the new owners despite a 75%-ish drop in users and content.
i've been wantin to leave reddit for a while and the changes gave me the final straw i needed to make the jump; you should be leaving reddit because it benefits you somehow. there's nothing you can do to affect reddit unless you have enough money to affect a change in its direction.
It will probably resemble myspace: https://myspace.com/
As a worst case scenario; I bet it'll becoming more like digg
Reddit’s actually less of a major player than it feels like when you’re in it.
Look at its place in The Internet Map: http://internet-map.net/#6-146.44287523142916-86.10421783299574
that’s pretty interesting. for all the talk of tumblr being “dead” it’s still bigger than reddit on there. I never left tumblr but I would not have guessed it’s so big.
Best case scenario is that in the next ten years reddit becomes the equivalent of bing. Still around, but who really gives a shit
You’re telling me my work computer will have reddit pre-configured as the default search engine, and I’ll have to manually type in google.com any time I want to search?
Just miss Apollo and some of the great communities, all the rest I won’t miss.
I miss having a small pixel pall to play with while scrolling
