what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back (beehaw.org)

I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all

But, when I think about it even if spez did actually listen and reverse all changes I don't think i want to go back to Reddit cause from what Ive seen Lemmy is just friendlier and less :Be Corporate Friendly: I would honestly love it if Lemmy did a project like r/place one of these days so we could see what the internet is actually like instead of what happened in 2022 (I really did enjoy what a bunch of communities did but when the mods started abusing their powers to make it corporate r/place lost so much meaning) but i am curious since i'm not going back is there anything Reddit can do to make you go back to Reddit?

Literally wouldn't go anywhere if the app I like wasn't having to shut down.

Their official app is horrible to use in comparison. Just joined up here and installed Jerboa and it's like using the app I'm losing there.

Ill miss RIF, im curious if RIF had a different algorithm or something cause from what im reading there was a lot of awful going on with reddit and I saw nearly none of it.

I mean, I didn't see as much of the bad "Reddit" culture that people talk about either. But I had curated my feed to the point that I had little default subs left so perhaps I was "avoiding the crowds", so to speak.

The default communities even a decade ago were so much worse than the niche ones. I was unsubbed for a long time but the worst crowds and the worst posts were always on the defaults
