      I would be cautious too if I were a sub owner and guiding people to an alternative honestly. Lemmy and Kbin both are relatively unstable right now, even if they are pretty good. Waiting a little to see which instances are more stable and likely to last is a good move before planting people somewhere and making an official replacement sub.

      The major Star Trek subs all have. Started their own Lemmy instance (startrek.website) and have their private message directing folks over.

      I am a Reddit mod. Gimme the step-by-step tutorial! There are certain subs that I want to see reproduced ASAP, like /r/LifeProTips and more!

        Well, on Beehaw you cannot create new communities, but you certainly can be made a mod of one even from another instance. Find the ones you want and ask the current mods of it.

          Why can’t we create communities on here? Do the Beehaw admins specifically restrict this? Thanks, by the way.

      But not for me. I’m forever gone.

      And if there are enough power users (lots of comments, posts) like me who feel the same, it will have an impact.

      There’s a HUGE middle ground between “nothing changes” and “reddit goes out of business.” As we see with Twitter, you can have a zombie platform that persists but slowly loses inertia month after month.

      It’s not that Reddit dies abruptly. It’s that the platform is wounded now and, without attention, will bleed out slowly over many years.

        At a communications conference last week, a Bloomberg reporter told the attendees that most tier 1 journalists are looking for stories on LinkedIn now instead of Twitter. It’s gone from vital to junk in just a few months. Without its moderators, Reddit faces the same fate: lots of activity, but most of it junk.

          Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn’t changed their original self moderation model this couldn’t happen. Or at least, not like this.

          Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

          Pretty funny how reddit’s move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.
