Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users.

For me it’s pretty clear, after deleting my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord accounts, the decentraliced Fediverse is my future in social media. Even with an very much smaller community, i’m not willing to be treated as ad-cow for the big corps.

But what do you think about your future in social media? Fediverse or Reddit, Meta, Google and all the others? Or will you go safe and use both, to have an backup option?

    I like to browse reddit for fun. I’m a casual user, and so I’ll stick with Lemmy. I see less people dying in terrible accidents and hate speech, so I don’t see much of a reason to go back!

      Yeh, for real.
      It seemed like the last year or so, everything on reddit became gore.
      I found myself blocking new subs every week (even older subs that previously had interesting stuff suddenly having gore)
