I think we can overpass in quality some day but not in rough numbers(at least for now, reddit has to fuck up a lot to go down like twitter).

Even with “all the fuck ups from Twitter”, their traffic is down only 4-5%.
It’s going to take a lot more than just waiting for them to fuck up. Network effects are real and the big companies spent the last 18 years making sure that they built enough moat around their fiefdoms.
Protests are not enough. “Strikes” were the leaders announce beforehand how long they will paralyze is not enough. Depending on moderators who are more worried about losing their status with their masters is not enough.
We need to treat this as a fight. Get all the tooling that can be used to make as easy as possible to migrate and ensure that people can get their dose of dopamine away from Reddit. Then things will start looking better.
