        Sure, you can close your eyes and live in a make believe world. But Reddit clearly still has a ton of activity.

          And that activity will MySpace itself just as fast. It seems to me that’s their goal. All that investment money hates free speech.

            I can not see any decrease in activity, but I am only active in one sub, so I don’t know. From all I hear… they are fine for now.

              Reddit’s u/spez liked what Musk was doing with Twitter 𝕏… just look at how that’s going, to know where Reddit is heading.

                No question, but I see a ton of activity on Reddit. A few 10’000 moving to Lemmy is not going to matter for now.

                Also: just call it Twitter.

                  Lemmy is possibly over 300K now, with the whole fediverse over 12 million, but maybe only 4 million active. Reddit claims 1.7 billion active users, while some sources claim they only have 300M.

                  It’s really BS counts anyways, they don’t count interactions, or quality of interactions. From my time on Reddit, the quality had been going steadily down, then took a nosedive around 2021.

                  And even on TV they call it “X, formerly Twitter”, so that’s going to be it. They should register the x-formerly-twitter.com domain 😈
