    Traffic to the site will increase because people are gawking at the trainwreck that Reddit is, and like gawking at burning wreckage, it gets boring eventually. As you’ve said, people will get bored and move elsewhere.

    That, or it’d do a Twitter, attracting Musk-suckers enough to keep the traffic flowing.

    Or maybe we’re just doing wishful thinking here, lol! IDK.

      Sabagay, buhay pa rin ang Twitter kahit sa dami ng kagaguhan na ginawa ni musk hahahaha. Importante lang na dumami ang subs na magparticipate, kasi pwede pumunta sa ibang subreddits ang mga bumisita para sa ginagawa ng r/pics at yung ibang subreddits.

        Yeah.

        However, to be honest, I do not care about what happens to Reddit beyond June 30th. It could do a Digg or a Twitter for all I care. I don’t even care about getting people to migrate to alternatives too. I think Lemmy and Kbin combined already has enough people for organic growth on their own even without another wave of migrants. People just have to get used to a thinner, finite feed while more creators trickle in from elsewhere as the Threadiverse gets more traction.

        That is to say, for me personally, I consider the protests a success even if only because they’ve got people to move here and to the other alternatives, giving them the traction they need to kickstart their own progress.
