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?

Why do they need to be replaced? Just use lemmy/mastodon and forget Reddit even exists. Not sure why people are so hung up on “replacement” when all you need to worry about is enjoying the content and interacting. Fuck Reddit and twitter, comparison is the thief of joy.
Yeah hopefully we get past the shitpost/meme stage which seems to be taking over here right now.
This is a necessary stage for all platforms really and also a breath of life.
Look at how Tumblr was basically dead after banning porn, it has held on for dear life thanks to shitpostingto this day.
What got replaced already was the oligopoly on user-created content. That's all that matters.
I use Reddit for duckduckgo searches (if they lead me there) and to look for info. I interact and post to Lemmy.
