They generally dislike corporations, dislike being told what they can or cannot do, and have more technical expertise than the average person. They are extremely accustomed to finding and migrating to new platforms.
I agree, although due to the popularity of reddit maybe they just landed there by chance.
Yeah I think reddit is a behemoth that has subsumed many of the earlier, more separate internet forums and communities.
I am hoping that the fediverse can reverse that trend and re-decentralize(!) the internet. The decentralized model is better for users (and humanity as a whole) after all, and reddit will continue to shoot itself in the foot by being greedy.
