Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts? - eviltoast

What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    I want it to be Reddit 2.0 in the sense that I can find active communities for specific or niche interests. Before July 1, the smallest subs that I participated in to have similar communities here were ones that had ~400k subscribers on Reddit.

    The value of Reddit was never in the 1M+ communities, any content there was usually present elsewhere, and the discussions rapidly became dumpster fires. It was in the smaller dedicated subs for topics that might not have another human-centric discussion forum.
