I wish this was the case but the average user is uninformed and can’t be bothered leaving.

Otherwise the bigger service would be lemmy, not reddit.

the market of the fediverse will balance itself out to what the users want.

Just like classical macroeconomics, you make the deadly (false) assumption that users are rational and will make the choice that’s best for them.

The sad truth is that when Reddit blocked 3rd party apps, and the mods revolted, Reddit was able to drive away the most nerdy users and the disloyal moderators. And this made Reddit a more mainstream place that even my sister and her friends know about now.
