Sample size of one here, but I use Reddit a lot, I'd never heard of Lemmy until the last few days, and once I read about it I immediately added the master RSS feed for SDF's Lemmy instance to my feed reader. (It's https://lemmy.sdf.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active https://lemmy.sdf.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active for anyone curious). So now for basically the rest of my life I won't be a pure Redditor and I'll always have an OSS/federated alternative to it vaguely on my radar, it's a sea change. I mean Reddit for me psychologically has gone from an OK platform to the bad guy very quickly here and in mere days I've gone from not even knowing alternatives existed to sniffing around the edges of one. Seems like Reddit is waving around a huge footgun right now. Edit! : I can't help but compare Twitter and Reddit to insanely successful older companies like Apple and Microsoft. Both of those companies became very successful by building the biggest moat they could, muscling out their alternatives, acquiring or commoditizing their compliments etc. Google too. Yet with Twitter and Reddit here we have two social media companies who have just said "Hey let's do very public stuff that promotes direct alternatives to our core offering." Idk what to say other than... Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
