    Imo, nobody won here and the reddit user lost everything. The Fediverse wasnt ready for the influx of users and lost its chance to “win” for a long time. The sites couldn’t support the load and there was a lack of polished mobile apps that felt familiar to people that wanted to browse and shit post.

    Without content – without interaction, a platform whithers; and my experience, so far, has been comment oasises while scrolling through pages of desert.

      It works fine for me. There was little to lose from Reddit at that point anyway because the quality had already gone through the floor. This was the catalyst to make people wake up and leave.

      there was a lack of polished mobile apps that felt familiar to people that wanted to browse and shit post.

      I’d argue that’s a good thing, I’d rather have posts that aren’t shit.

      Unfortunately that is starting to seep back in here now.
