    A lot of lurkers are gonna flee the platform too though, but they might not join other sites/communities like Lemmy to replace it. So the loss for Reddit will be bigger than those who choose to migrate to Lemmy. And I expect a few lurkers from Reddit, like myself for the most part, are gonna be more active on Lemmy, since the community seems a lot less toxic. I didn’t care too much about contributing on Reddit, since pretty much every discussion attracted trolls, spammers, or just hostile users, and the discussions, the exchange of ideas and experiences just vanished or drowned in a sea of noise.
