Reddit was quite abrupt and efficient triggering a migration towards decentralized alternatives (ie: Lemmy). Twitter was taking way too much time to push users to the fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc.). Elon doesn't like to be the second, so he's rushing the enshitification of the platform to stay ahead of Reddit.
Honestly fucking spez and musk helped social media out a lot
Not their social media platforms, or course, but they helped migrate more people to the fediverse
Yeah haha, I moved to Lemmy couple of days ago, then saw that Twitter rate limit thing and was like alrighty, Mastodon too, lets go
can confirm, my reddit account is only used to lurk in the ukraine sub, and until I have manually copied over my 2-3 relevant posts to the lemmy world. Then I might just use a data scraper..
