We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

While that might be true from the stance of "this is what everyone should do" it's not realistic with how the general public actually behaves.

People are also trying to use discord like a traditional forum, that doesn't mean they should, and they are suffering for it. There is this thing called "use the tool for the job", if you use the wrong tool, then that's not really an issue of the tool, it's an issue of the user.
