This is a Peertube exclusive video where I'm just ranting about Reddit.

Bringing up Digg is a good point, though, to highlight that "being dead/dying" in a maximalist definition is not a good model to highlight developments and relevancy. Them not being dead didn't mean they hadn't lost all relevancy for a long while.

Reddit is of course still a giant, like, genuinely gargantuan. The de-facto mainstream implementation of threaded discussions and public forums. But there has been a clear development for a while now, that indicates they may indeed have peaked and will only lose relevancy from now on. Hopefully, with a huge chunk of people switching over to the Fediverse, which currently is on a rising tide¹ - even though of course in a picture looking at just the present, it's still an ant compared to Reddit.

¹: A huge bonus effect being the additional synergies, especially from Mastodon -> other platforms. I feel like I have increasingly seen comments from Mastodon on Lemmy even, and PeerTube has had a huge chunk of their interactions from Mastodon for a while now.
