Wow, looks like you’re in here with me, huh?
I brought a 12 pack at least. Friends?

I’m pretty sure “we’re” not doing the r/place protest. Lemmy has 63k active users per month, per the most recent user stats. Reddit pre-protest had 52 million daily active users and 450 million monthly active users.
I’m sure Reddit’s metrics have probably taken a hit, but it’s going to be the future people leaving Reddit for alternatives that kill it, not Lemmings that have already jumped ship shunning it. One small subreddit could individually take over Lemmy.
I like Lemmy, but it’s pure hubris to think that we would even be noticed by Reddit, outside of being a place to siphon users away to.
Let them keep Digging their own grave
I see, what you did there
Lemmy tell you, that was a good one.
Just kill it with fire
Alright, well let’s stop posting about it. 
Nowadays I mostly lurk Reddit very sporadically, tbh only when I finish with my Lemmy feed (doom scroll just got worse lol).
A perfect death for whom?
Redis I think? Some sort of database caching thing.

Red-IT? Like the clown balloon?
Reddwhat? I have no recollection of any such thing.
What’s a reddit?
It’s when you loved reading something, but you’re finished now and it’s all over, time to move on.
I’ve been wondering this as well.
The past tense of reed it.

Maybe they’ll catch another Boston Bomber
Technical niche communities are still there, but it won’t last long.
That’s exactly my experience with Reddit lately. All the worst sort are left on the bigger subs, making the community absolutely insufferable. If spez’s goal was to make me not use that website, then…well, he succeeded.
You realize that most people never even know what Reddit is nevermind who its CEO is.
Now, check who knows what Slashdot, Orkut and Digg were, and who ran them. Allow for a few years to pass.
If ignoring bad behavior makes children stop playing their attention game, then it should certainly work on a billionaire.
If Musk and Huffman are having a money-hungry-child competition, I can’t tell who’s winning
That means that neither is winning.
The irony of this post is astonishing
I see the irony of it
But here you are, on Lemmy, replying to it
I think it would take half as long to die as it did to become a monolith. It’s almost twenty so ten years. But I don’t know, could happen faster. I’d say for sure it’s not going to get any bigger. How much growth have the other major media sites seen since the profit mongering started?
