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?

It won't happen. Reddit is dying. The culture has had a massive shift and you simply don't recover from that. When they have their IPO it will be very telling.

But based on this fiasco, any sane investor would have some serious reservations about the leadership of Reddit but its future in the social networking space.

They pissed off a LOT of people, and those people are the ones that create all of the content.

But look across the social media spectrum. FB, Twitter, Reddit. All of them are just tanking.

We are on the precipice of a big paradigm shift in how we communicate with one another online.

It honestly feels like a perfect storm to me
