Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users.

For me it’s pretty clear, after deleting my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord accounts, the decentraliced Fediverse is my future in social media. Even with an very much smaller community, i’m not willing to be treated as ad-cow for the big corps.

But what do you think about your future in social media? Fediverse or Reddit, Meta, Google and all the others? Or will you go safe and use both, to have an backup option?

    No; I didn’t even know about the API issue until after I registered on a lemmy instance.

    My transition from twitter -> mastodon was so smooth and pleasant I started sniffing around lemmy again. I’d looked at it a year or two ago but didn’t take the bait at that time.
