Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
Xenon@lemmy.world 10 months agoFor now reddit seems fine (even though I feel a noticable deterioration of multiple communities). Though the important change is that alternatives have established themselves. Lemmy might not be big right now but from now on reddit has to be extra careful to upset redditors. Every new step they take that worsens the experience will drive a new wave of users away from their site and now more of them will find established communities elsewhere from the first exodus this year.
At the same time I’m unfortunately quite certain that the enshittification of reddit will continue as investors demand higher profits. So we will see more waves of redditors leaving. This migration in waves could also be seen with Twitter after every new step Elon took to ruin the site.
