Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform
Steve Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."
Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.
The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

I'm not sure we should be so quick to alienate people who still use reddit. They may simply be overwhelmed about starting again on a (better) platform.
Lemmy at it's core philosophies make it much better for communities and individuals to be freer. We just need to go through some growing pains at the moment.
I agree that the idea of federated Reddit (Lemmy/Kbin) is better but the user experience is currently not better.
Granted, that’s a “newness” problem that should get easier with time but to jump from relatively straightforward Reddit to a more complicated federated system is a leap in complexity a lot of people do not want to deal with.
The real driver for change will be when there isn’t anything interesting to look at or the entire thing is overrun with boys, ads, and trolls. The loss of mods might actually be the eventual downfall of Reddit.

Initially I read the assertions that Lemmy was implemented so efficiently at face value. But then I hear that the likes of Lemmy.mk was overloaded by the likes of 2500 users or so, and it doesn't really hold up. I think those growing pains include making it scalable and efficient because it doesn't sound like it is right now.
