That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let’s not poison ourself, thinking on “how to make them pay”. Let’s move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

      I honestly just hadn’t looked into it yet. The information I was finding on reddit alternatives was sparse, and i honestly expected reddit to come to its senses before things got this bad.

      I saw Lemmy was open source and got myself into it before hearing about any controversies. But I should do my research in KBin as well, the site has been popping up in my feeds a lot. people seem to be hoping for a sort of merger between lemmy and kbin, or at least some sort of cross access between the two.

      I’ll get on that when i am able to.

        Hello from kbin! The fun part of federation is that you don’t actually need more than one account to see most everything.

          Question: I have a notification on one of the magazines saying something about the federation being incomplete or something g like that. It tells me to go see the original instance. In order to interact with that instance, though, I have to have an account. It only seems to be for this one instance, though.

          Have you experienced this?
