I'm not quite sure about that.
A lot of groups who defaulted to Reddit actually got off their ass and set up a Discourse or Discord. I consider Discord a huge step backward, but those who set up Discourse groups are now in a much better place.
So, a lot of the technical people who made Reddit the "go to" place for searching are now gone. As that half-life of the knowledge of those groups kicks in, the usefulness of Reddit is going to slide down.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI do wish more groups sought an actual alternative and not a closed down server. But I suppose for a mod (who would lead that charge) that closing down is a benefit. They don't necessarily want every random troll to pop in and ask the same rage bait question for the 1000th time. I guess that +popularity is why many moved there. Still am hoping for a true replacement one day. Keeping eyes on what communities popped up when the next surge inevitably happens. The real issue is grabbing the right power user who will generate a bunch of content to engage with, and that's hard to do.
