What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

It is, though the numbers are depressing.
A site like Reddit grows in its daily active users more than 15x (!!!) entire MAU base of Lemmy. “Reddit migrations” are barely a margin of error for them.
This is excluding, liberal, assumption of bot counts.
Exponential growth starts slowly…
Reddit didn’t grow in it’s early days like it does today. To use an analogy for what you’re saying: think of a snowball rolling down a mountain and turning into an avalanche. It’s easy to forget that the snowball started it.
