    At this point even if Reddit keeps going on, there’s enough people on Mastodon, Lemmy, and Kbin that we can thrive as a new site with our own culture. Hacker News wasn’t made obsolete by Reddit or Digg’s existence for example.

      Yep. I just don’t care anymore. I have all the community I possibly need right here. I can miss some niche communities but this is all I need for the time being.
