Reddit's long-term downhill has long-started, API changes was part of the beginning and now, it continues. If Reddit goes public, the need to please investors, VCs and so on will make it even less ignorant to what the users wants.
It has never been a better time to switch to Kbin or the fediverse in general.
Techies will care, most people won't. Niche communities will still be on Reddit. It's just easier and data never gets lost (as has proven to be the case many times in the fediverse).
You're 100% correct, but I think this issue has a time limit. Fediverse already can pretty much do everything reddit and twitter does, but still has loads of potential to innovate in areas that those services won't/can't.
Yes, but it will take a lot of time... big tech can just hire a lot of devs to do the job, which is not the case with open source software, people pitch in when they have free time.
