I’ve heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.
I can’t find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what’s going on?
I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big “Rexxit” event, but I’m not seeing anything happening to cause one.
Anecdotal, but reddit is REALLY cracking down on users regarding the protests related to the US/North America tariffs. There is a very murky line as to what reddit corporate wants people to say and not say regarding the protests people are organizing on corporate owned social media because sure.
Same with the inevitable pushback against blocking twitter.
That said: I sincerely doubt it will go anywhere. It took YEARS for people to leave twitter and that was only because a different corporate owned social media, bluesky, had open sign-ups. There is no alternative to reddit.
So we might see a small burst of newbies on lemmy. They’ll likely get driven away by the usual suspects.
There’s no alternative to Reddit? Wh… What am I using right now? Am I hallucinating?
