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.

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.

If I had to guess for a few I would say beehaw and lemm.ee will also still be alive in some way or another, but I dont think they will keep being as big in proportion to other instances as they are now.

10 of which will be enormous and will be the vast majority of what most users see.
True. That’s already happening now if you notice lemmy.world, mastodon.social, pixelfed.social, etc.

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.
