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?
If they went back to open-sourcing their stuff I’d feel better about using it. I don’t like the idea of one person being the keymaster to the entire site, holding the community hostage to their own whims. Lordship is so overrated imo. At least here with Lemmy it’s pretty easy to make your own place.
It’s a pipe dream but at this point that’s the only thing that would bring me back
Open sourcing won’t do much because the value of reddit are its users, not the code.
They would have to join the fediverse to rebuild to trust but of course there is 0% chance of that because their focus is $$$.
I agree with you that the feeling of no keymaster if very liberating.
same here, that’s the only thing that would make me even consider coming back.
also just better management in general is desperately needed, spez needs to go.
