A really good point was made in another thread. Reddit should stay open, and those that want to flock to it can and should. Consider it a natural filter. If the technological bar is too high to get to communities like lemmy and kbin, that might be a good thing. Segmentation of like-minded individuals allows for cohesiveness in the community.
