Reddit didn't win over me. I edited all my comments to "fuck u/spez", got suspended from a couple subreddits, and then never logged back in to my account. Been using Lemmy ever since.

Dead to me ๐โโ๏ธ
Assuming that this is not just Reddit paying Gizmodo for an article to discourage people from using Lemmy by shaping the narrative that everyone is back on Reddit, then I would say it's just way too early for Gizmodo to make this call.
Enough people have come over to make a push/pull environment happen between the two sites. Time will tell which one pulls the most over to their side.
This is like Bush's mission accomplished. Too early to tell. Thanks to that though I found this nice community.
I don't think the war has been won. This might have been the biggest battle, but it's going to be the years that tell the story, not the months or the days.
Can moderators on reddit delete the subreddits they moderate?
Nope. You need to kick everyone out and leave. Anyone could message admins and request to take over.
I was thinking it was like chat groups in IM apps the owner/creator of the group can delete the group, so only Reddit can delete the subreddit that I create!
