I have said it before, yes, people might leave. But the kind of people that stick so long to a dying platform are the ones that will never make it to Lemmy, Mastodon or whatever fediverse alternative you have.
None of these federated platforms employs any dark pattern algorithms to keep users engaged and clicking as much as possible. The kind of user that stays until the enshittification is not bearable anymore will not like the way the fediverse operates. So they go to some other place. Maybe its Facebook again, maybe Instagram, who knows.
The time is ripe for a new contender, so expect a bunch of The Next Big Thing ™ apps that are almost identical, begging for your email address and contacts list so they can sign all your friends up too!
Man i wish people would understand just how funny it would’ve been to just drop twitter literally the tay elon took over. Same with reddit. Of course you’ll always have people who don’t even know, don’t care or even like it. But fucking imagine the twitter takeover and only elon and a few of his dick sniffers are basically a private discord server
Most redditors who aren’t willing to bend over and take whatever Spez wants to shove into their asses have already switched to Lemmy.
We’ll get a few stragglers, but I wouldn’t expect much of a reaction at this point.
Today? Maybe a few. A week, a month, a year from now? Reddit is going to get worse. People will leave.
Looking at Twitter it’s clear some folks will never leave no matter how bad it gets, but plenty of folks will leave.

They don’t deserve to come into our communities
I wouldn’t say that they don’t deserve something better, just that they’re not capable of it.
