Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

Spez is doubling down. He's shown his hand. He's lied. It's like watching Anakin's descent to the dark side. He's too far gone.

I don't really think there is a going back. The watering hole is poisoned. There's no more good faith. And, I think for a lot people, especially people here, it's a matter of principle at this point.

I might check in on certain niche subs that don't move on to other platforms, but the days of gleefully doomsctolling are over.

IMO the response was even worse than the initial change. That is what put it over for me.

The response killed Reddit for me. No way am I going back to a website run by such a nasty excuse for a person.

Make the niche subs/comms here too lol

[–] OverfedRaccoon 6 points 1 year ago

For sure! But people need to still come over and use them. 😉

Gleeful doomscrolling, love it 🤣

Pretty much. I'm not going to pretend I'll never use/view reddit again, but it'll be little more than something like stackoverflow, where if they have the specific information I'm looking for I'll visit, but I'll likely not return to the "homepage", or not with any frequency.
