Realistically, what do you think will happen? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

With Reddit, and perhaps also Twitter. Personally I deleted my accounts on both platforms and came here today, because I feel it was the moral thing to do. And I hope both platforms will burn down, and the new way forward is more community-driven social media instead of capitalist-driven. But realistically I think both will just slowly get worse in terms of quality (well, twitter doesn't have much quality content for a while now anyway) and muddle through for a while. In the end it could go either way I think? What are your thoughts on where those platforms will end up, realistically?

I think Reddit will die a slow and painful death. I was a mid to average Redditor (I occasionally posted content and consistently engaged with posts), and I have no interest in being over there anymore for many reasons. I migrated over here and am living in a tent, waiting for my permanent "Boost" house to be built. I like what I see here so far and am looking to build a develop a different experience. I don't need to see people getting eaten by sharks anymore. I plan on reading more books and being online significantly less. I'm seeking quality, not quantity. I'm done with sensory overload.
