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?

Not in the same way as before, that's for sure. It would mean that they only did it after people protested and disrupted the site for an extended period of time. They obviously don't want Reddit to be what we want it to be anymore. I'm sure they would still try to subvert the users' will and impose theirs in different ways. Plus, this has made me expand and actually seek out exciting new communities and platforms for the first time in a long time. These communities are filled with people who have similar opinions on what happened and how to move forward and create spaces we want to participate in. Whatever happens with Reddit can't undo that.
