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?

That would be great, all the content, none of the ads (unless you're actually on Reddit).

@Wooly Yeah not sure how the Fediverse keep going on in the run as it helps earning money to run the servers.

I think it'll be fine with donations, I remember seeing a post from lemmy.ml(?) Admins where they said it cost $30 to run the servers and they'd already received $1500 in donations.

@Wooly That's good to know, I think the server itself would cost a bit to set up but in the end, text-based media at minimum doesn't take up much space. Power is probably gonna be one of your biggest costs or if you need to buy and install more storage into the server.
