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?

Nah, I won't return in a meaningful way. Come June 30, I'm fully deleting my 10+ y.o. account. I may make another burner one to be able to follow a few niche communities (mostly snark subreddits) that I'm certain won't be moving over. But I don't plan to contribute or even lurk in a meaningful way anymore.

I'm excited about the promise the Fediverse holds. It's refreshing to me. I've been longing for a better social web experience, something like I remember having 10-15 years ago, and I'm feeling hopeful that the communities developing here can give me some of that magical feeling back.
