Reddit has more lawyers

I think the influx of people self motivated to leave reddit happened, yes. But there’s a huge chunk still on reddit using apps that will straight up stop working, what then? Your primary interface with the site being gone is an even stronger motivation than leaving in protest.

Anecdotally I’m still using reddit today (albiet less) but once rif dies… Goodbye reddit I guess

I’ll hop in and second this comment. Setting up a server could be a fun learning experience but I don’t recommend you do this with the intention of using this as your ‘production’ lemmy or leaving it open to the internet.
