Yeah, no. The deaths of those websites have not happened yet, and when they do, the Fediverse will not be the one holding the scythe

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by "killed", I mean "lost some users and content quality". They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn't affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

Firefox (presumably the mobile version) + uBlock Origin, an adblocker.

Probably means Firefox with the uBlock ad blockers browser extension.

It means Firefox with uBlock extension

On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock origin (ad blocker) extension
