      Probably not, reddit, like all modern social media platforms, is essentially “too big to fail”. They have captured and cornered their markets and will continue to dominate indefinitely.

      Throughout all of these things reddit’s user growth has went up, not down. Daily Active Users grow, month over month, more than 20x the entire population of Lemmy., just think about that, there’s more growth to the daily active user count on a monthly basis (not the totally user count), then the entire population of Lemmy, x20.

      It’s depressing to think about. But it’s also reality. And reality fucking sucks.

      All I can hope is that lemmy and similar continue to grow.

      I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time

      Let’s be honest, reddit has been going downhill since at least 2014. It still exists, and will continue to, but it’s such a hollow shell of what it once was.

      I was considering getting an account after being off Reddit for almost 2 years just because there are some pretty large active transgender communities then I saw this.
