Do you think Reddit has still a chance? (lemmy.world)

Hi all! What's your opinion? Let's pretend reddit would give in to the protest and cancel the plan to increase the API pricing. Would all of you go back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy?

I mean.. what has been said by the CEO cannot be unsaid now. We all now know what we are in the eyes of the CEO.

Wasn't the main selling point of voat the "free speech" angle? It would make sense that it would attract people whose speech got them banned from other social media.

The Fediverse's selling point is "not run by corporate greed-heads," which is going to attract a different demographic.

Sure was. That was when Reddit banned r/fatpeoplehate and several other subs. I tried Voat out of curiosity but it definitely attracted a certain kind of person.

This time around I feel like the types of people that have and will leave Reddit are more ‘power users/techies’ whatever you want to call it. And so far this place seems pretty nice!

PS: Woo! First post!
