That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let’s not poison ourself, thinking on “how to make them pay”. Let’s move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

    Hello from kbin! The fun part of federation is that you don’t actually need more than one account to see most everything.

      Question: I have a notification on one of the magazines saying something about the federation being incomplete or something g like that. It tells me to go see the original instance. In order to interact with that instance, though, I have to have an account. It only seems to be for this one instance, though.

      Have you experienced this?
