    Well, as long as I am around it is not going to die as a I am not leaving Fediverse. And I am specific about it being the fediverse as even if Kbin and/or Lemmy die, there will be others that will take over, I am 100% sure. Whether it will actually surpass Reddit, I have no clue. But I am not sure whether I even care.

    And not because I hate Reddit or anything like that. I am just really into what fediverse stands for and even a week ago with half of the users it scratched my itch as Reddit had done previously.

    Like honestly, I don’t even feel that strongly about Reddit and spez but Lemmy provide all I need so far, from meta stuff, through inteligent conversations to memes.

      I remain sceptical about the fediverse for a number of reasons. Some may turn out to not be a big deal, I don’t know yet.

      I worry about discoverability and search engine indexing, the main usefulness of Reddit for me was the ability to find answers to questions already asked by others.

      I worry about the potential for federated servers to turn into small insulated islands, due drama between admins.

      I worry that I’ll need to keep track of a multitude of accounts and websites on a fractured internet, what with lemmy and kbin and whatever other services show up.

      Centralization has its issues, but it also comes with a great many benefits, and I’ll wait and see if the fediverse can make up the difference.
