[QUOTE="t3chg33k, post: 2465818, member: 20884"] As much as I hate what's happening, the CEO is right. Most people will stay on reddit following the aftermath and switch to the official app as much as they might hate it, in the absence of an immediate competitor. It is also one of the reasons they implemented this change on short notice, because they don't want an alternative to develop by giving the third-party apps more time. Their only headache might be if moderators quit en masse, for which they compromised some what by exempting moderation tools from API usage. Lemmy is at an inflection point. It kind of reminds me of Signal when people started leaving WhatsApp. There were initial issues but things settled down over the long run. If reddit operated on volunteer moderators, then pretty sure a good proportion of new users will also be willing to be server hosts. It will probably scale up well enough if it turns out to be the alternative. [/QUOTE]
