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?

This is kind of like the Wizards of the Coast / OGL situation for me - just enough to make me consider the alternatives, and realize that the alternatives are a better long term solution.

Reddit has become overrun with crypto scam spammers, and they don't appear to be making any attempt to control it. We'll see if the fediverse can do a better job.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! I'll probably still use reddit for some things (e.g. adding "reddit" onto the end of a google search to try to find perspectives from real people), just like I'll probably still play D&D sometimes. But they've made it clear that management is focused on short-term profit at the expense of what keeps the community viable long term, and so they've lost my trust as a company.

Lets hope Reddit doesn't hire Pinkertons to drag us back to Reddit©

I'm hoping that Kobold Press' alternative ttrpg is easy to switch to from D&D. They do good work and I'd hate to just trash all my D&D stuff.
