Reddit could become the next meme stock — or flop.

    Most redditors who aren’t willing to bend over and take whatever Spez wants to shove into their asses have already switched to Lemmy.

    We’ll get a few stragglers, but I wouldn’t expect much of a reaction at this point.

      Today? Maybe a few. A week, a month, a year from now? Reddit is going to get worse. People will leave.

      Looking at Twitter it’s clear some folks will never leave no matter how bad it gets, but plenty of folks will leave.

    They already kicked out or scared off the most vocal last year.

    Why would they revolt? I’d assume most of the people that cared enough to take the revolt over killing third party apps and all that have left or at least minimized their Reddit use. So that leaves bots, the apathetic, and niche community users who might complain but aren’t going anywhere.

      Ooh. Imagine the content of the investor calls if there is another blackout.

      There would no longer be any hesitation to ban or censor everybody involved.

    Reddit users are all bots and conservatives these days. They are programmed to obey.
