A lot of people still use Facebook. They will never leave these monopoly platforms until they are destroyed by a worker's state.

I mean ironically enough, covid did kill reddit, or at least covid was the cover that allowed reddit admin to basically empty the site of anyone who wasn't a neocon, NATO-loving, destiny-esque, neoliberal ghoul

2020 killed the site, after that year the only organic subs left were a couple sports and porn subs
