Title says it all. If you think Reddit's been trending down lately, just wait.

What Reddit fails to understand with their decades of industry experience and 2k employees is that without their users, they don't have a product. Moderators work for free. Creators work for free. These people didn't do it for Reddit. They did it for you and me.

And then like three developers in their spare time ate their lunch.

Your point stands, but just wanted to point out that the lemmy devs have been working full time on this for the last 3 years, funded by https://nlnet.nl/

I had no idea about that foundation - it seems like they've done a lot of great work. Thanks for sharing!
