you don't have to kill a popular social media network, you just need enough people to leave to an alternative to make them viable

all together the 3rd party app users and res users consist of millions of the most dedicated tech savvy users that will switch.

myspace and digg technically exist but they're no longer relevant. Reddit is moving in the same direction

Lemmy/kbin is more popular than it has even been and the main lemmy instance is overloaded.

July when the actual apps shut down we'll see a huge migration to the fediverse

That's what killing a social media is, people leaving. Which is realistically not going to happen. The average user doesnt care, yeah reddit is geeky but all they want is money.
