But regardless, given all the media hype around the protests, Reddit DID take a hit to its reputation overall. I'm sure there is a not insignificant number of people still on Reddit who would jump ship were an acceptable alternative available to take its place. I still believe that as Lemmy grows, more content gets created, and the various UIs and Apps used to access increases, people will slowly move over. Spez is looking to monetize the fuck out of Reddit too, so all corporate social media sites are now heading towards some sort of paid model. I don't know about you, but I don't know many people willing to pay for access to a shitty social media site, be it twitter or reddit.
