Maybe, but network effects are powerful. Elon Musk, despite his best efforts, has not succeeded in driving away people from X-twitter, and I don’t believe that reddit will proceed as radically. There will be more adds, but the frog will be boiled slowly. I don’t see myself going back to reddit, but it’s more because I’m ideologically committed (I have been using exclusively Linux for 20+ years).

Yes, they are powerful indeed. The fediverse is the first alternative I’ve seen that has (at least in my mind) the potential to create a stronger network effect that any walled garden, though.
