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?

Lemmy, and kbin are both still rough around the edges and needs improvement, but I'm really interested in where they go from here. I really like the idea of the fediverse, and its open nature, and ability for anyone to host an instance. I really hope it's popularity continues to grow, and I definitely plan to stick around here whether or not Reddit rights it's wrongs this time around.

Reddit's CEO has shown his true colors, and it's yet another example of why we can never really rely on centralized, proprietary, and corporate owned services in the long term.

I have yet to decide whether or not I will completely abandon Reddit. I'm waiting to see if Reddit will change its stance about the API, and also if Lemmy and/or kbin remain active enough long term.
