I'm honestly kind of loving watching the destruction of Reddit and Twitter. It is a big loss, sure, but like you said they are not irreplaceable. The communities, the people are what matters, not the platform. The people make the platforms. If you lose the people, you lose the platform.
If everyone migrates to Lemmy and Mastodon like I did, then these large platforms don't have to matter anymore.
