It isn't. I don't care what happens to reddit. I want to move on, so the only thing that matters (to me) is the success of alternative communities such as lemmy.

Right? I'm liking Lemmy so far but the armchair activist "here's how we hurt Reddit" fixation is cringe as hell. I'm here to argue with strangers, look at cute animals, and read memes about tabletop games dammit. I'm here because I'm done with Reddit, not because I have some dumb chip on my shoulder and can't stop thinking about it.

Yeah, the whole idea of Reddit was just bad.

Aside from the API issues it had serious problems in the past with Admin overreach and like 90% of the most popular subreddits being controlled by a small cabal (some of whom were even corrupt, using their position for monetary gain).

The decentralised nature of the Fediverse is just a superior model (for the actual users, not for monetising the platform).

Yeah let reddit keep its shitposters, bots, alt-right chuds, and everyone else who ruins good conversation. Better that they all have a place to go so they can stay away from us

Agreed, let it sit and stew.
