I’m not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all
But, when I think about it even if spez did actually listen and reverse all changes I don’t think i want to go back to Reddit cause from what Ive seen Lemmy is just friendlier and less :Be Corporate Friendly: I would honestly love it if Lemmy did a project like r/place one of these days so we could see what the internet is actually like instead of what happened in 2022 (I really did enjoy what a bunch of communities did but when the mods started abusing their powers to make it corporate r/place lost so much meaning) but i am curious since i’m not going back is there anything Reddit can do to make you go back to Reddit?
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I’ll probably still use reddit for some things (e.g. adding “reddit” onto the end of a google search to try to find perspectives from real people), just like I’ll probably still play D&D sometimes. But they’ve made it clear that management is focused on short-term profit at the expense of what keeps the community viable long term, and so they’ve lost my trust as a company.
