So I have thoughts about what if platforms that we seemly are trying to move away from such as Reddit decided to Fedirate and join the Fediverse.
Do you think it would be beneficial or practical in the long run?
How do you think people would change their thoughts of the Fediverse if platforms like Reddit did do this sort of thing?
What would you do if Reddit did join the Fediverse?
It's pretty much already here, at least the posts that are worthwhile - there are plenty of people cross-posting content, although most are avoiding linking directly to Reddit. I think that if an instance chooses to federate with Reddit, they'd be reducing the overall quality of their content. That being said, it's mostly harmless in this context, as I can't really see folks who already use the Fediverse signing up on Reddit as a result.
I'd be more worried about Reddit using federation to scrape content from the Fediverse (although not as worried as I am about Meta). One of the main reasons I post to the Fediverse rather than Reddit now is because I don't want Spez making money off my content, and any additional audience Reddit would bring my content in exchange is of dubious quality at best.
