I feel like without something like reddit, capital would try to worm its way into places like this, which would be disastrous if it was successful.
Which is literally why lemmy is the only possible replacement. It's the only path for users to choose not an evil corporation. Hypothetically reddit could operate an instance, and we could all give them the finger and block/defederate from them. We have to foster the growth of niche hobby, community, and activity boards though. It can't all be left leaning politics and meme shit posting. We need to encourage those who share expertise to come contribute. That lemmy is the defacto aggregate forum. It is the only form factor corporate ownership can't swallow up.
For sure
The bots will eat Reddit and social media generally though
Meta tried and failed with threads
Never been more proud to be on the fediverse than when I saw the reaction to threads
I still refuse to join these, fuck meta
