what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back (beehaw.org)

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?

Ill miss RIF, im curious if RIF had a different algorithm or something cause from what im reading there was a lot of awful going on with reddit and I saw nearly none of it.

The reddit mobile app has a different feed than RIF. You can't sort by hot or best. You can on the browser though.

I mean, I didn't see as much of the bad "Reddit" culture that people talk about either. But I had curated my feed to the point that I had little default subs left so perhaps I was "avoiding the crowds", so to speak.

The default communities even a decade ago were so much worse than the niche ones. I was unsubbed for a long time but the worst crowds and the worst posts were always on the defaults
