True. That's already happening now if you notice lemmy.world, mastodon.social, pixelfed.social, etc.
This ! Also, I'm kind of disappointed how many of my peers just waited for the #reddit #blackout to pass, so they can go back to buissness as usual. Supringsingly, to me, there are a lot of people who enjoy corponet just fine.
Yeah, a temporary protest was not gonna do the trick. But hey, oftentimes, things gotta get worse before the get better.
It's just a matter of how much worse.
With open source and interoperability, this is a good thing, because then you can choose the experience you wanna have. You're not bound to a single vendor-locked platform that's subject to continuity issues or a degraded experience that forces you to move elsewhere and start over in terms of following/followers. You simply pack up and migrate to another instance.
