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?

Charging for APIs is not the problem, the problem is the deceitful, smug and bad faith approach to it.

The symptom is that they even considered it. The problem is that they are a for-profit company that systematically doesn't care about us at all.

Yeah, this is why I would prefer to remain on Lemmy unless there's literally no content, which doesn't look like it's going to be an issue :)

Not only that. They are a for profit company that is extremely dependent on volunteers to moderate their subs. I feel like they are going to learn a hard lesson about alienating your volunteer workforce.
