The thought of this triggers my anxiety. I'm so glad Lemmy exist, but what if Lemmy didn't. What would the world look like?

I imagine other platforms like kbin would become popular in place of Lemmy. We’d likely see a similar dip and normalization from Reddit’s user base.

The world would probably look about the same as it is now. I like using Lemmy, but the absence of forum isn’t the end of the world I suppose
