Assuming that this is not just Reddit paying Gizmodo for an article to discourage people from using Lemmy by shaping the narrative that everyone is back on Reddit, then I would say it's just way too early for Gizmodo to make this call.

Enough people have come over to make a push/pull environment happen between the two sites. Time will tell which one pulls the most over to their side.

This is like Bush's mission accomplished. Too early to tell. Thanks to that though I found this nice community.

I don't think the war has been won. This might have been the biggest battle, but it's going to be the years that tell the story, not the months or the days.

Well yeah because all the people who cared moved to Lemmy or kbin

Can moderators on reddit delete the subreddits they moderate?

[โ€“] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. You need to kick everyone out and leave. Anyone could message admins and request to take over.

I was thinking it was like chat groups in IM apps the owner/creator of the group can delete the group, so only Reddit can delete the subreddit that I create!
