Can't wait for it to die and wither out. But I know they will retain a big pool of users on hostage like reddit or fb for a while.

Is matrix.org a viable alternative as of now or the near future?

If it has the same issues Lemmy does, probably not. People don't want to build an account on a server only to find out, three months later, it's run by tankies, or anti-piracy watchdogs, or any other number of unsavory things.
