Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak? (lemmy.ml)

First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

I feel like reddit power users are the only ones who might switch, normal people simply won't care. However, power users are already well aware of the coming changes, and have likely already looked for alternates by this point.

Ive seen so many reddit posts on where people are like "what's wrong with the official reddit app, it's all I've ever used"... Lemmy is much better than the official reddit experience - the issue is most niche communities that exist on Reddit have ~1-5 subscribers here, makes it kind of a hard sell.

Personally i'd way rather be in a small community filled with frequent commenters and posters than a big one where all you see is reposts and ads, however.

Exactly this. I moved from Digg to Reddit ~14 years ago and mostly participate in the smaller/ niche communities on Reddit. I'm switching over to Lemmy and it reminds me of what Reddit used to be like.

I mean, power users make most interesting content, so i can easily imagine regular users just naturally getting, like, bored.
