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 was looking for reasons to quit Twitter before Musk takeover. And when he did I joined mastodon and never looked back. Reddit was turning to a shithole for a long time. And this was the last straw. I hope people realize that you can't have centralized social media and we can all make fediverse work
It's open source so someone might do it
It felt like a chore. All the time I felt like "am I supposed to be having fun?"
