And this is why lemmy will never overtake reddit. Literally the satanic panic, because some users might be posting on some other platform.
It's not a competition, quality over quantity. I don't want anything to do with corporate social media, it's a disease.
Except lemmy isn't some "high quality social media". It's the same thing, with users that act the same.
It has much less corporate influence and the user base is self-selecting for people who give a shit enough to seek that out.
Yeah, so? The independent servers / instances will still be here. Worst thing that can happen is it goes back to what it was before.
The worst thing that can happen is embrace, extend, extinguish, and I think that's Meta's goal. They want to take out the competition.
