This is a Peertube exclusive video where I’m just ranting about Reddit.
There may be a lot of garbage on Reddit, but the subreddits I read are non political, and tech mouthpieces like MacRumors and zdnet are easily scrolled past. I usually get the best info about obscure issue, old and new, on Reddit. So i hope that there will remain somewhere, a searchable archive to supplement whatever platform us nerds will go to next.
Man reddit is trash?! Almost like people should use an alternative. Something open-source and isn’t centralized. If only there was an alternative
Thank you @Fitik@fedia.io , crossposted to !watchredditdie@sh.itjust.works
We gotta be careful though, if reddit goes bankrupt Lemmy may go to shit assuming lemmy communities cant handle the influx of new users
I still hope it happens ofc but still
If Reddit popped out of existence, not everyone would go to Lemmy.
- Most would go to Discord, Twitter, and BlueSky.
- Some would go to various forums (they still exist).
- Some would spend a lot more time on FB, Tiktok, and Instagram.
- Some would spawn their own copies of Reddit (Voat). The copies all die in a month.
- Some would stop bothering with social media entirely.
i suspect they will move to forums, as they are still mostly around. MEDICAL ones have numerous ones, some general purpose forums, maybe.
So it would overall be a net positive for the world, good to know
Holy shit what year is it?!
Reddit went public in 2024, soooo-
