The key part here is that (at least initially…) they won’t put any existing subreddits behind a paywall. So users’ habits won’t really be interrupted.

As much as we’d like to joke about the sudden influx of new Lemmy users that will result from this lets all be real, it will be a few new users. Most Reddit users will accept whatever is thrown at them from that company while crying about it on Reddit. I don’t know what the phenomena is but it seems that most people would rather stay on the bad platform than try something new and slightly different. I’m cool with that, I like niche platforms.

Its a toxic relationship, I literally could not leave, became aware of lemmy maybe two months before I left and always had the intention to make an account but put it off til I was perk banned

That’s fine. A more fragmented internet is better for the world
