@ersanmartin Honestly probably not, but it doesn’t immediately have to either. In my opinion it’s already a viable alternative to Reddit, so that’s already a win.
Kbin & Lemmy (and others) can just keep developing and maturing as a platform, while Reddit keeps making bad decisions in the future because you know they will, and it’ll be there, for those who want to come over.
The blackout probably won’t result in Reddit failing, but he has to realize that if he keeps this up, it’s only going to take some aspiring programmers/designers some time to develop more Reddit alternatives, and when one of them becomes viable, down goes Reddit.
@Masimatutu Agree with you, it definitely should be an individual choice rather than a collective one, instead of users having to decide which instance they want to be on based on whatever drama is happening currently.
