Honestly at this point I'm more the opposite. I want Lemmy and kbin to win, and I don't care much about Reddit losing or not. I think they're going to go on, just shittier. Just like Facebook and Twitter.
I don't need lemmy to "win". Winnng implies an agreed rule set and goals. What reddit admins want out of reddit and what I want out of an internet experience are completely different.
I moderate a subreddit that has zero traffic. I received my threatening letter yesterday saying that if I didn't re-open, there would be a follow up from reddit with what the next steps would be in the coming days.
I like to think that such DMs are not automatic but spez personally goes over private subs to threaten mods. Because the guy who edited user comments is just that petty.
