I do wonder if this could turn into a bigger problem for Reddit. I'm super new to Lemmy - I always liked how Reddit works from a ui/functionality perspective but I didn't like how the site was run or honestly even the people in this site. But I heard about Lemmy because of this and I think I like Lemmy better.
It just reminds me of what happened with Digg. Lots of small problems then a short series of bigger management fumbles made Digg go from the biggest link aggregator on the net to some obscure site nobody's heard of in like 5 years. I think it's a little harder for big sites like Reddit to fail nowadays but regardless - platforms like Lemmy show that Reddit doesn't really have anything special going for it besides a larger userbase.
It was easier to leave digg back then. The 'normie' non-techie audience wasn't as big in the era and they mostly stuck to MySpace and buzzfeed. Digg was where the tech nerds went and thus the nerds had the power.
The non-techies are now the largest user base of reddit and they don't care about the changes and will continue their usage. The executives know this and are moving things to curtail to that audience. These are the same people that don't run adblock or ghostery and will click on ads and pay for awards.
Huffman doesn't give a shit about us or the small niche communities we have created. Forums are dead. Reddit powers Google. He wants to turn reddit into a social media platform, as it sorta already has become.
