Is spez wrong? The community is openly letting themselves get cucked. Look at how r/place has already given up on revolting and is instead working together to boost Reddit's IPO value. The closed subreddit protests gave up. Nobody is caring about moderators being replaced. People are still going about the site like normal. So is spez really wrong that this was going to pass because the users clearly don't care if they're getting fucked, just like how people somehow still hang on to Twitter.
I mean... Twitter isn't doing great now. This one controversy won't sink Reddit, but it opened the door for competitors to grab a foothold. When the API issues were happening, people were scrambling for an alternative and there was nothing there. However, for the next Reddit controversy there will be a more mature Lemmy/kbin as an alternative with superior third party apps.

Look where we are discussing that ex-platform. And that's all that really matters.
There are still speciality communities there not mirrored here, but give it a few more years. My first Lemmy account is now 3+ years old. Let's see where we are in 3 more years.
