I'm not here because Lemmy is a better alternative (self.lemmyworld)

I'm here because it's eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

That communities, and unfortunately whole instances might turn to shit is more of a given. The big advantage is the switch would be a lot smoother. If reddit was a gargantuan instance, the loss would still be catastrophic, however the ecosystem would remain in tact. That is the user interface, the third party apps and so on. Right now everything is completely leveled and you need to start from scratch.
