Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i've been hopeful. What do you think?

Let go of that thought. Reddit is (probably) here to stay. Lemmy will have less users, less communities, and tbh, probably less quality content. That's okay. Grow your seeds.

I actually think the opposite. Reddit is here to stay, sure. But Lemmy will become a more niche space and with better quality for those interested, but not necessarily mainstream, and that's ok.

Yeah places like Reddit and Twitter will be much bigger targets for bots and regurgitated clickbait content. There may be less content here but I think it will end up being higher quality.
