I remember the exodus to mastodon being a bit of a shitshow with nobody knowing how it worked, the whole network slowing to a crawl, and then a lot of them leaving a couple weeks later. It did boost the amount of users, just in a bad way.
Thing with that though, is there was a series of events over several months that kept pushing people to mastodon. I can’t see Reddit progressively fucking up harder the way Musk did.
Some of us stuck around. I’d say Mastodon is good enough and big enough. Lemmy is definitely more rough around the edges. If some of the spurned app developers end up in the Fediverse somewhere, it should help a great deal.

Wonder if the last statement will age like wine or milk. I guess, time will tell.
