This is Apples to Oranges.

Quake is dead because modern and frequently updated options exist, even 1-1 like Xonotic.

The alternative to Lemmy is Reddit which will only continue to enshittify.

A more apt comparison is Bullentin boards.

Bulletin boards still exist in the modern era, and are in frequent use, despite their age.

I'm not suggesting this social media format will die, it's just likely that a corporate entity will develop a lemmy alternative that becomes more popular and causes fatal atrophy or Reddit will get new leadership and Lemmy hopefuls will cross back over if content development here is slower than the collective patience. I'm pro Lemmy FYI, I just don't understand the unbridled optimism about it's future.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
