    Not that the mods are aware, but if Reddit disappeared tomorrow, I (sadly) suspect most users would go to Twitter or various Discords.

      Discord I can see but someone who isn’t on twitter in 2024 would look for an alternative to Reddit there…? I don’t see the logic.

        I’ve thought about it as some of my niche interests have dried up on Reddit and apparently only live on Twitter now.

        And maybe Discord. It’s hard to tell because it’s closed, but I see hints of discussion spilling out into GH issues or whatever.

        I despise both for different reasons, but where else am OlI gonna go if I actually want to talk with the community?

          Blue Sky, mastodon, lemmy, maybe threads. Hell, HN if they’re programmers.

          I don’t like threads but I’d say it’s more likely than shitter
