2 days agoIf Reddit popped out of existence, not everyone would go to Lemmy.
- Most would go to Discord, Twitter, and BlueSky.
- Some would go to various forums (they still exist).
- Some would spend a lot more time on FB, Tiktok, and Instagram.
- Some would spawn their own copies of Reddit (Voat). The copies all die in a month.
- Some would stop bothering with social media entirely.
I could probably do it if I really wanted to. Create a new account at one of my library’s computers, use a separate phone to access reddit with that account, etc. It’s not worth the hassle though, for me at least. Reddit sucked up way too much of my time. Honestly, it feels like January ended just last week.
