I seriously cannot believe what a heavy hand reddit is taking. That IPO threat must be hurting A LOT of wallets right now. This is the flailing desperation of a dying animal, imo. Idk if reddit will actually "die" but I can't see any healthy and vibrant community existing after this. I just hope they don't target Lemmy instances with under-handed "subterfuge"

I guarantee they did the math and the site will continue. Sure, a small percentage will leave. But they know from user metrics the vast majority of users will remain. They can find mods who will fall in line.
The site will continue, but the content will never be the same.
