The problem is that Lemmy isn't as well-established as Reddit was when Digg died. There's as much of a risk that reddit will just leave a vacuum and it'll get filled... by people doing whatever Reddit demands of them. And Reddit is doing less-horrific stuff than Digg did, if only slightly.

This is sorta how it went with Facebook. I would love to see lemmy or another alternative win, but it might be difficult to dethrone reddit.

I'm in a panic because I hate reddit official and I use RiF exclusively. But I might not have any option but to learn to suffer through reddit offiical.
