lemmy is to reddit right now is what reddit was to digg when reddit first started. Eventually reddit will go a step too far.
Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification
Kaldo@kbin.social 6 months agoEven as someone that's still active here, this would never happen. Neither lemmy or Kbin were ready to replace reddit in either features, stability or support, not then and not even today. It's unfortunate but reddit is not going to go down when there is no actual competition available.

Reddit was always better than Digg too. I prefer the smaller community.

Except instead of having an evangelizing atheist neckbeard problem, we have tankie problem. A lot of people that see unfiltered discourse on instances outside LW will think it’s Voat 2.0.

yea because not accepting US propaganda and trying to uplift marginalized people and help workers not be trodded upon, is about the same as open fascism, bigotry and constant hate speech /s

It’s just replaced with propaganda from nations that “tried” communism. I’ve seen plenty of people from tankie instances saying shit about how Ukraine should just roll over to Russia so that they solve their Nazi problem, how the Uyghur people aren’t being ethnically cleansed, and other such wonderful talking points coming from the Russian and Chinese governments.

At least when reddit fuck up again, the alternatives are already pretty mature, at least compared to last year.

Can they really fuck up any more than they’ve already fucked up?
I don’t know about you, but the only thing I can see that Reddit could do that’ll fuck them up is either taking porn away because their shareholders demand it or they fall out of favor with the stock market because Wall St realized how much of an idiot spez really is to them.
KBin did exist back then last year. The problem with KBin right now is the guy running it is having personal issues and the magazines there are getting swamped by bots and spam. And there’s nobody there to kick them out.
