To be fair, Reddit is a lot bigger than any Lemmy instance, and Lemmy instances have the benefit of being decentralised, so the load is on many different servers owned by different people as opposed to one group of servers owned by one company.

Somehow I doubt it’s even that. The guy’s just a braindead, incompetent moron. I don’t think the fucker’s even smart enough to realize this is literally the worst possible decision he could’ve made.

Maybe, but I think that the branding of the “fediverse” + difficulty of use will make it unlikely to surpass reddit or any other alternatives. It will almost certainly still be around for years to come, but I doubt it’ll be much more than niche, despite me hoping for the contrary.

Tankies suck, but they’re so far from nazis morally it’s not even really fair to tankies to compare them.

At least tankies generally speaking aren’t okay with genocide of innocents.

At least then we can just defederate with their instance, yeah?

Let’s hope Reddit does something even more blatantly dumb than they’ve already done and start banning porn from their platform. Once that happens, that’s when I think we’ll really see alternatives take off.
