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 reddit is fixable, or actually, the community. The hive mind system fucking sucks, and you can't change that without going 1984

But won't lemmy develop the same hivemind? Afterall they function the same way

It very well could in the future. But the federated model slows it down compared to Reddit et al. where there's centralized control, at worst a single instance will develop a contained hivemind. If that happens to yours, you can just hop to a new one. If someone is really concerned, they can just spin up their own brand new instance, or fork the code and create something themselves.

Interesting, I didn't think about that possibility. It gets better all the time 😁
