How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit? (feddiverse.org)

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.

What are your thoughts?

Twitter relies on celebrities, athletes, and journalists. All of them want to be where the eyeballs are so until Mastodon grows more, they'll stay on Twitter.

Lemmy just needs to continue to grow and improve. Maybe it never gets as big as reddit but the content has the potential to be just as good.

    This might be a little different for a website like reddit, where lurkers want to be where the content creators are. Concent creators, posters don't need lurkers as much as lurkers need them.
