Has Reddit won and what does that mean? (self.snoocalypse)

What are people's thoughts on how Reddit is coming out of this so far? How bad have things been for Reddit? Do we know how much their traffic has dropped and would a drip in traffic even hurry them that much. Why don't we see talk of a new blackout at the end of the month?

It can be win-win. Reddit owns their platform and they can implement whatever enshittified features they want. Ideally that acts as a filter to keep the worst element of reddit over on that side of the fence where they can be happily monetized.

Meanwhile the folks who prefer this more open-sourcey federated experience not owned by a Profit-Driven Company (tm) are free to move here. Reddit owns their platform, but they do not own the community, and I'm looking forward to a userbase hopefully comprised of more thoughtful, intentional posters.
