They're getting away with this because there really is no serious competitor for reddit.

When people actually start migrating away from reddit and post/comment volume is significantly down, you'll see reddit suddenly be a lot more willing to engage with the community.

You’re right due to the network effects Reddit currently enjoys.

Personally, I’ve quite enjoyed using tildes.net lately. I know everyone is jumping on Lemmy and federation, which is great in practice but Tildes feels more accessible to me and for that reason may have more potential to actually capture a user base.

I'd love an invite.

If you have one available, please consider throwing me a tildes.net invite.

Thanks m8.

If they send one to you, would you consider sending one to me?

Same here if possible. I’ve checked out both Lemmy and tildes over the last week and I’ve quite enjoyed the discussion quality on tildes that bit more.

bruh they run on donations which means similar thing like reddit will happen again when they have to scale up.

One possible outcome is that the pie shrinks. If Reddit hurts the user experience and drives away creators and mods, some people will leave with no alternative and simply spend less time on the Internet.

In my case, I've replaced my Reddit time ~50% with HN and ~50% with... something else, like doing work.
