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?
Reverse the api changes, convince Selig to keep Apollo going, fire spez. Than MAYBE.
This pretty much. Although I don’t believe I’ll stop using Reddit completely but given that I’ve been browsing Reddit mainly with Apollo, there’s really no return even through old web interface on desktop. These alternatives aren’t scratching the same itch either yet due to low amount of content so we’ll see if I’ll just fall back on reading few BBSs and that’s it.
