We gotta be careful though, if reddit goes bankrupt Lemmy may go to shit assuming lemmy communities cant handle the influx of new users

I still hope it happens ofc but still

If Reddit popped out of existence, not everyone would go to Lemmy.

Most would go to Discord, Twitter, and BlueSky.
Some would go to various forums (they still exist).
Some would spend a lot more time on FB, Tiktok, and Instagram.
Some would spawn their own copies of Reddit (Voat). The copies all die in a month.
Some would stop bothering with social media entirely.

So it would overall be a net positive for the world, good to know

i suspect they will move to forums, as they are still mostly around. MEDICAL ones have numerous ones, some general purpose forums, maybe.

Man reddit is trash?! Almost like people should use an alternative. Something open-source and isn't centralized. If only there was an alternative

There may be a lot of garbage on Reddit, but the subreddits I read are non political, and tech mouthpieces like MacRumors and zdnet are easily scrolled past. I usually get the best info about obscure issue, old and new, on Reddit. So i hope that there will remain somewhere, a searchable archive to supplement whatever platform us nerds will go to next.
