Yeah the chasing profit is what ultimately dooms public forums.

Hey Reddit, how's it going? Reddit: in c/reddit@lemmy.world

My account there is 19 years old and I’m starting to spend more time on Lemmy than I am Reddit.

My forum timeline’s been webcomic/livejournal forums > ytmnd & digg > reddit > lemmy

(Social media’s been Chat clients > MySpace > FB > Instagram > BeReal & Pixelfed)

Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

imo this friction will erode as larger instances come into play; people will join a large, main instance without even knowing of the others, and-- if they have a problem with the instance they joined-- they'll find they can easily jump ship there.
