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?

A week ago: Bring down the API costs. I’d have begrudgingly accepted paying a few extra bucks a year for Apollo Ultra.

Today: Nothing. Reddit admins acted like smug children in the face of the Apollo Dev’s good faith questions, then the CEO and admins pulled the stunt of trying to act like the dev threatened them. Then the CEO doubled down on that story in the sham AMA. I don’t want to feed that machine anymore.

I have edited and then deleted all my posts and comments except for a few final ones that will go soon. I will keep the account but only as a point of contact for some people until I get them all contacting my email instead.

Same. Maybe if u/spez got fired and the new CEO did a complete 180, but that's not going to happen.

No Spez

No current reddit admins

No API fees

No other weird 3rd party killing nonsense

Everybody gets frosty chocolate milkshakes

That would be a maybe.

And an apology to Christian, the dev of Apollo, on the napkins that come with the milkshakes!

[–] animist@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

And no more power mods

No IPO

[–] setsneedtofeed@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

They've got this all wrong:

"No, IPO!"

Oops, shouldn't have this free API on here either.

Old boss, same as the new boss. I don't think spez made the decision on their own, they absolutely suck but they're just the scapegoat., the problem is the whole company and its structure.
