  • Part of what made Reddit great was that humans answered actual questions with relevant details, and these answers were searchable by Google, and people knew they could get at those answers by filtering their search with site:reddit.com. but if the community fragments into the fediverse how will that filtering take place? On one hand, it is nice that humans populate the content rather than SEO optimized ad-filled garbage that is the web now. On the other hand it is still subject to the capitalistic whims of a CEO. I worry that once Reddit goes the way of Digg we will have lost the golden age of the internet, where you could interact and ask questions of a human community, with experts listening to niche subreddits.
