If Reddit were to revert it’s changes to 3rd party apps would you stay on Lemmy or move back to Reddit?

    Reddit is absolutely, 100% certainly not going to step back on these change. They’ve made up their mind long ago.

    But just for the hypothetical: I think they lost a LOT of trust with the two most essential parts of the community - users and mods. Also the company (or rather, its CEO) may have taken significant image damage due to the “AMA” spez did.

    I think business will go on as usual, but the decline will be more and more noticable over time. It will go the way of Digg. Unless of course reddit decides to hire moderation themselves. But we all know they probably wont want do do that. The course seems set to selling the data they have already accumulated.

      I doubt reddit will hire mods, they’ve been crying the platform is not profitable, imagine having to pay several millions more, tho reddit without mods is dead.
