Well of course not. their mistake is that they're trying to make profit on something that's not profitable. Musk made the same mistake. Unfortunately the general mass can't comprehend the complexity (!) of multiple instances of a same platform because no one uses emails so I don't actually believe Lemmy or Kbin will become mainstream. People will slowly trickle back to Reddit once they realize they have no alternatives.
I imagine the majority will return if they even signed up to lemmy in the first place but a number will stay and it will grow organically from there.
And thats probably for the best so the software can improve and the instances can scale slower thus improving the experience overall.
I'm staying.
...and my axe!

Do you really think that was Musk's big mistake and not, say, being a giant raging jackass of a child?
