MODERATORS
 

Hey all,

I was just listening to the Lex Fridman podcast where Mark Zuckerberg mentioned Metaโ€™s plans for a federated platform. It got me wondering: Could Reddit follow that path too?

Are there technical or financial obstacles that might prevent this? More importantly, should Reddit even consider this move? Would it be a win or a loss for us, the users, and for internet culture in general? Keen to hear your thoughts on this!

(Iโ€™m a recent Reddit refugee, fed up with the situation over there. Found Lemmy searching for info on homelab during the blackout. Found all the main things I need here. And the community is great. Like Reddit used to be. Canโ€™t see myself going back)

reddit is better off being a closed platform.

Thatโ€™s one way to look at it. The other is what can they salvage from the wreck. Does it have any intrinsic value.
