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 literally had to have a coworker give me an invite to a server to test it out and figure out how the heck it worked. It was less obvious (or at the time felt way more gatekeepery) than Lemmy or Mastodon to me. You need an invite?
Then I found some subreddits had Discord servers, and open invites. Now… IDK. I don’t think it’s at all like reddit though - it’s like IRC with pictures.
