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’ve been enjoying reddit less and less for a couple years already, the site is too big and there is so much junk on there to wade through

    it is refreshing to see a smaller community elsewhere, and I like the concept of a fediverse more and more

    I’m going to replace the subreddits I used to visit with communities and people on lemmy, mastodon, etc

    reddit served its purpose (a digg replacement back in the day), now is the time for a new replacement

      Agree. I haven’t used the main page in a long time and mostly used alt accounts for specific things and opsec and multi-reddits to separate interests on my main account. But I use it less and less every day and have for a while.

      I suppose the one thing that would bring me back it professional moderation and a system that ensured moderators were benevolent.

      Too many subs basically only have teenage kids moderating it because any mature adult doesn’t have the time nor the patience. That meme YouTube video of your average moderator is way too accurate, and it’s true even in the niche communities.
