I was skeptical of Lemmy and Mastodon thinking they will never become mainstream. It’s like able to run your own phpBB forum does not mean there will be a community. Businesses are wary of obscure software that are hard for customers to understand.

That was before the recent Reddit protest. Seeing how Reddit handles the protest, I have a feeling that this will work, especially when u/spez said he follows Elon footsteps.

In the last week, I started to see communities forming and I’m now sure there’s no going back for Reddit and Twitter.
