I've heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can't find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what's going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big "Rexxit" event, but I'm not seeing anything happening to cause one.

I think there won’t be any kind of gigantic wave of users swapping over to the Fediverse. Rather small groups of people gradually become more and more frustrated with reddit.

If you look at twitter, people love to cry about the platform they are on. It took a lot for them to finally leave it and even then many didn’t burn their bridges. Consequences are somehow anathema to some people.

Before anyone is mass migrating here there will be rather another centralised commercial site popping up. Just like with Bluesky instead of Mastodon when people got finally fed up with Xitter.

Fediverse and its applications are too niche for that. Personally, who cares, we do have a decent amount of people here already. Plus we have our own drama too. I am not sure this place would change for the better with the masses coming over from Reddit.

Freedom enjoyers will find their way... There can't be 50k of us in the entire social media economy system...

Right?!
