Exactly, this is what they are banking on.

This one will pass as they lose substantial number of users and contribute to the growing fidiverse.
However for them, it's not a big deal as the get the following benefits
- All undesirable users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives.
- The remaining users will be tame like the users of FB, Instagram. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but the new Sanitised Reddit will be more appealing to investors in an IPO even with less users.
Hopefully this is a turning point and leads to the development of The real Web 3.0, federated version of Web 1.0. (The Metaverse bullshit can no longer be called Web 3.0)
I will make lemmy my new home. Will uninstall reddit as I did with twitter.
This meme explains the current situation with Reddit perfectly.
No need to be rude my friend.
I am logged in from Lemmy.world, welcome to the fidiverse.
Also fuck spez!
I haven't left reddit, but I am sure I will be spending more time here in the fidiverse than sites like reddit and twitter.
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson is one of my most favourite science fiction books.
I am loving this. I don't think I'll be using reddit as much as I did previously.
If that's what they are banking on, they are in for a rude surprise. I am part of the crowd that has never used anything apart from the new reddit web and reddit's official mobile app. Still I left for the fidiverse.
I reckon theres many more like me. Either way, it's good for the internet as a whole. We need atleast some part of the internet that's safe from corporate interests.
