This is a Peertube exclusive video where I'm just ranting about Reddit.

Reddit is not going anywhere anytime soon. Their stock price might not be doing great at the moment, but there is no reason to think the platform will die. Lemmy has a chicken and egg problem. In order to draw users away from Reddit it would need sufficient content, but to get that content it would need more users.

Reddit will definitely see some shakeups soon, especially when they introduce paid subs, but I'm not sure Lemmy has what it takes to capitalize on that. I love Lemmy, but at it's core it's a more difficult to use, federated, reddit clone.

The fediverse deserves something new. Not a clone of a commercial network, but something novel that takes advantage of the federated nature of the network. I still very much believe in that 90's internet dream of a democratized social space for all humans, but we're not getting there with janky clones of anti-social media.

Lemmy is just Reddit fifteen years ago. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I like how easy it is to block people here lol

2 click blocking is really nice.
