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?

I think the only way is if Reddit becomes the only active option. I'm a bit too addicted to these anonymous social medias... and it's a nice source to have the internet summarised at your palm.

That's the issue with having so many potential places to migrate to now - people are scattered across different platforms. Reddit worked because that's where everyone went. Millions of users means a greater potential for an active community with your niche interest. But I guess maybe there was uncertainty at the start - I came in a little after, but long before most "everyday people" had even heard the word.
