Judging by the comments you get if you suggest switching away from Reddit, Reddit will do very well. I won’t be there, but they’ll be successful even if the site goes more to shit.
Lemmy really reminds me of those old BBSes though – I’m connecting to my local server, it’s federating messages like FIDOnet used to do, just much faster :)
My IRC experience is largely limited to openprojects.net (later freenode), and it had tools in place to prevent that drama. By the time the network collapsed under post-lilo management, I had already moved on. The drama that existed on other servers felt like rumour only.

Hey I’m barely 20, didn’t use 3rd party slots, and I still migrated here.
Edit:3rd party apps*
Dialup BBSes->usenet->Slashdot->Digg->Reddit->Lemmy. I’m sure it’ll happen again.
