If someone like Musk were to take control of Reddit, be prepared. Let's be real, Spez is not even in the same league as Musk in terms of being unpalatable to Redditors so claiming something like "already has been" is ... a choice. But for sure, if someone far worse takes over, there will be an exodus. And frankly, the Fediverse is fully unprepared to handle that, so that'll be fun.
Which is why Musk will keep spez to take the blame, just tweaking the site slightly to not allow it to ban links to X anymore.
When Musk took over Twitter I deleted all my Tweets and never even visited the site again, blocked on parental filters and through NextDNS.
I had been there since 2006.
I would definitely do the dame for Reddit if Musk took over, and I have been there since like 2010 and have some million total karma across several accounts (mostly on one).
I actually did quit for about a year when they killed 3rd party apps.
