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?

I don’t think there’s anything they could do to get me to go back.

Lemmy is new yes and doesn’t have as many communities as Reddit does yet, but it’s still well in the early stages.

They’ve been moving to pushing profits for a while as they have been trying to go public, and that began a downward spiral. I was already looking elsewhere once they started putting NFTs in.

This might sound silly, but I've been looking for a way out for a while. A lot of what reddit has done has been gross, but it has also been mentally salvageable for the good bits. I think the API issue is what finally allowed me to get over the mental hurdle of wanting to stay on reddit.

Good riddance.
