Fediverse, as much as I love the idea, isn’t even close to accept even a portion of people who will flock here when reddit totally dies. It will crumble upon itself the same day. Two third of instances will immediately run out of credit and shut down, the rest will be overwhelmed by traffic and devolve into a slow mess full of trolls and spam.
Fediverse needs to grow organically
That’s the power of decentralisation, Trolls will have to create their own shitty instances and wr can block them. Look at what’s going on with Hexbear. Reddit can fucking die, I’m not worried for the fedi.
They will not create their own instance, they will come to ours. And we don’t have neither computing power to support all of them, nor enough skilled moderators to respond to all that, not enough of a routine and etiquette to quickly understand whom to kill and who is there legit.
I can see it all evolving over time, but I am really not optimistic about the scenario of Lemmy trying to accommodate to even a 100k people overnight. And reddit is much bigger than that.
Not when we have Fediverse

And if you want shitty instance, you can make an account on that shitty instance, no one will stop you. Fediverse is amazing.
