    Meh - maybe Reddit will live on, maybe it’ll die. It’s immaterial and worrying about it is a waste of energy. What we need to concentrate on is keeping the forward momentum going and making Lemmy into a truly viable alternative. The rest will follow.

      Yeah. Reddit was never going to magically die overnight. If it dies, it’s going to be a long and slow process. But that process starts with with some number of us jumping ship and focusing on bringing alternatives like Lemmy to life.

        It may never really “die”. Digg still exists, MySpace still exists, aol still exists. It will just slowly wither, the user base will get worse and worse, and its value as a resource will diminish. It’s not about reddit anymore, its about getting good people to come here.
