I think ignoring is the wrong way to go for sure. Personally I un-installed my app for Lemmy but I might reinstall it.
The reason I might reinstall it is just to help improve Lemmy. For example, most of my news for League of Legends came from the subreddit and the Lemmy community I found is basically dead. So, if I want to help improve Lemmy I could look at reddit for the news and then repost it (linking the original source, not reddit).
Also, think about all the subreddits that make content from Twitter and Tumblr, it's possible some people will want to be on Reddit and Lemmy for the same reason.
Yea I think there’s a healthy perspective here. Many want Twitter and Reddit to die completely. Realistically, that won’t happen, not soon anyway. What’s happening now is more of a fracturing where different people can be happy in different places in the same way that there was a time when everyone was either on Twitter or Facebook and that time passed too.
At the moment, they're a bit on the "too big to fail" side. Digg is still around, despite much of the user base leaving for Reddit, and I imagine both Twitter and Reddit will still be around in some shape or form, even if Lemmy/Mastodon somehow make it big in the same way.
That's not even getting into things like how Reddit posts are still some of the more useful sources of information/discussion on the internet, due to the decline of forums and bulletin boards, so people will end up returning to it in some shape or form, if only to try and get recommendations/solve problems that they're having.
What might make them more likely to die is if they're not profitable, and they run out of money without being bought up, but that's less everyone leaving, and more the service shutting up shop overnight.
Which both parties seem to be trying to do in one way or another. Twitter is haemorrhaging money, and Reddit's recent controversies can't be doing good things to its stock price if the CEO more or less implied the company was not competent enough to make their own app profitable.
Reddit is determined to be 9gag. Lots of people like 9gag.
Best we can do is offer somewhere where the people who were on reddit for reddit have somewhere to go.
