Agree. Imo, alternatives like lemmy just poison the well when they can't handle a tiny fraction of the users of a single subreddit.

  I'm sure Reddit didn't crash ever in the early days, and I'm sure it was handling this kind of traffic from the get-go /s Modern day Reddit couldn't even handle the protests against it.

    lemmy doesn't need to compete against 1999's Reddit, or whenever it was released. It needs to compete against modern Reddit, which has massive communities with hundreds of thousands of members.

      It doesn't need to do that on with 100% uptime on the day it launches. Especially if Reddit itself is going down this week.
