Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

I agree. Or people would see a couple downvotes and just start dogpiling without even processing what the comment said.

I'll be honest, towards the end, farming downvotes in new or interesting ways was one of the only good parts of reddit for me. It was funny to see people so easily sucked in and worked up about what to me is obvious satire. It will be interesting to see how/if that type of behavior converts on Lemmy
