Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

    Yep, I’m ready to read the news that this platform surpassed the user base of Lemmy on the first day and never looked back. And I am ready to not be bothered by it.

    Good on them for any pain they inflict on reddit. And I do hope the fediverse takes over the global media landscape because that is better for humanity than corpo-governmental gatekeepers. But if Lemmy’s user base just hangs around in the tens of thousands rather than the tens of millions, I am content.

      I disagree about being content with a small user base, I want more niche communities beyond News/Politics, Linux/FOSS, and memes.

          My niche community on lemmy is 5 months old . It took me 1 month on digg to have more subscribers on it than on the lemmy counterpart with a very smaller userbase. More people contribute in the digg community then on lemmy too
