Hey people, I’m loving Lemmy and I’ve become a evangelizer to friends. I think reddit and Twitter are going to be completely replaced in the mainstream by their Fediverse-counter parts, and we’ll all be much happier (minus maybe 2 people). But I think back to last big reddit controversy when Voat was floated as an alternative to reddit-- I hardly used it, I came right back to Reddit because that’s where the good content was. I hope the majority of our former reddit comrades join us in the Fediverse, at least eventually… Either way, I’ll never be going back.
I remember Voat. I didn’t even realize that it shutdown… I guess that says enough about it. I’m hoping for some growth on a new platform. Even if it never kills reddit, rather brings enough people to keep lemmy going strong and providing an alternative for those who prefer something else. I wasn’t familiar with idea of federated service before looking into lemmy (never really looked into mastodon or the likes). Still not sure how I feel about it for easy growth but I hope to see it soon.
