Wait where’s the extra one come from?

Yeah the chasing profit is what ultimately dooms public forums.

My account there is 19 years old and I’m starting to spend more time on Lemmy than I am Reddit.

My forum timeline’s been webcomic/livejournal forums > ytmnd & digg > reddit > lemmy

(Social media’s been Chat clients > MySpace > FB > Instagram > BeReal & Pixelfed)

imo this friction will erode as larger instances come into play; people will join a large, main instance without even knowing of the others, and-- if they have a problem with the instance they joined-- they’ll find they can easily jump ship there.
