Depends on what we call success. Is Facebook a success? If yes, the I agree, reddit could "succeed," but personally I'd call Facebooks track record a huge failure if we compare it's social standing circa 2010 vs now.
Good point, I guess I meant success financially as in surviving. From a content quality standpoint I think reddit had already been declining for years when the API debacle started.
Debates are generally better here on Lemmy despite being probably only 1% the size of reddit.

I think they might be better because they're only 1% the size of Reddit. It's impossible to have a meaningful conversation with everyone, all at once. And a smaller website means less social pressure, less corporate influence, etc.

I've been pissed off at reddit for years now but only now has there been a viable alternative.
