Thats not my point though.
At the time reddit closed their API to third parties loads of idiots were saying it was the end of reddit.
In reality reddit just sanitised their user base.
I dunno about netflix, but at least the reddit debacle diverted a lot of users to the fediverse.
If we get a similar exodus from discord to matrix, that would work wonders for spreading the fediverse to others. Most of them still haven’t even heard of it.

In reality, reddit gave a userbase to a platform that previously had none.
… and yet, that’s not what im talking about.
If you call that sanitised…
Well they got rid of the users they didn’t want so from their perspective, yeah.
They lowered the lowest common denominator by driving away the users that wouldn’t tolerate their BS.
