  These companies don’t realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.

  They will just go to their own spaces.

  I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.

    I don’t know. It feels a bit like “When I quit my employer will realize how much they depended on me.” The realization tends to be on the other side.

    But while SO may keep functioning fine it would be great if this caused other places to spring up as well. Reddit and X/Twitter are still there but I’m glad we have the fediverse.

      The company’s get hit hard by unplanned vacancies. It won’t take them down, but it can cost them buckets of money in either expenses, lost revenue or both. The thing is, the people that left will never know that, there coworkers will never see it, only people in finance and budget will know how to quantify the impact.

  And then Stack Overflow will go the same way Digg did.

      Same as any other social media. Reddit has a lot of twitter, Tumblr and 4chan screenshots, TikTok videos, etc. Lemmy is not much different.

  I hope it doesn’t end up like it did on Reddit, where all those protests did not result in anything at all.

    Lemmy’s bigger than ever, and that’s a direct consequence of reddit’s enshittification, so there’s that at least.
