Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it’s own “instance”, and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

      As soon as things are big enough here, there will be the potential to profit, and they’ll find a way.

      Fediverse can only win by keeping its ground, by speaking about freedom, morals, ethics, values

      There are only a small core of people (ok, a lot of people, but a very small percentage of social media users) who value those things enough to push back effectively against a glitzy, well-funded corporate implementation. At the peak of the reddit protest, their traffic only dropped by 18%, and that’s a lot of people who were locked out of content, not just the ones who were actively choosing to protest.

      This was a fantastic read. Thank you so much for sharing it! I’ve started my own lemmy instance in hopes of making an instance available for “everybody” in my region, having the local culture as our common ground. But this helped me realize that it might maybe need a thought or two before pushing forward. Those who I thought would be a part of it aren’t those who would maybe want to give up traditional service for one fighting for freedom, ethics and morals.
