Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?
(lemmy.world)
I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉
Best case scenario for reddit, I think, would be for its IPO to fail, spez and investors call it quits, and it eventually ends up maintained by a not-for-profit foundation in the way that, say, Wikipedia or Blender is.
Either that or it dies, its database published or scraped, and ends up accessible through archive.org or something similar.
EDIT: or a crowdfunded buy-out by John Oliver 😆
I favor the latter
