I get that, and it does totally make sense -- the main issue I have is viewing this as a strict "replacement" for Reddit. I believe we should be more comfortable with moving and "replacing" Reddit with something more like an alternative than a direct copy; Reddit fell apart for a lot of reasons, but we can at least point at one thing to change; centralisation.
I think we shouldn't replace like for like, but move on and find new things; whether that's Lemmy, or other alternatives. Some people prefer centralised forums, some people prefer more niche communities -- for me, personally, I like more niche communities -- but I think there's a way for us all to be happy without sacrificing the fediverse ideals.
