Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

It would be the death of this side of the federated internet. The amount of content it would generate once federated would crush existing servers. You would have to defederate or face near instant storage shortages. The federated que would take years to sync.

Anyway, it wouldn’t happen because they would need to transmit real vote counts instead of fuzzy vote counts. You would be able to see how every single person on reddit voted. Which would simply expose the vote manipulation going on there.

We already have Lemmy.World no need for two of them

The same way we dealt with threads. Defederation.

I’LL I WON’T BE BACK

atrielienz ,

The best I’ve got is, it’s complicated. I left reddit very purposely to avoid a lot of the corp side BS and the results of that on the user base. The number of bots and bought/paid accounts alone is enough of a reason not to go back. It’s been getting pretty steadily worse for the last decade at least and while I think the fediverse is kind of toxic, I know for a fact from first hand experience that reddit is more so by a large margin. I want Lemmy to have more users and more communities. I miss reddit for the sheer number of niche communities that haven’t moved over. I don’t have time to start and moderate a community myself. But I don’t want reddit here. I welcome users who want to follow the rules. I don’t welcome wholesale reddit occupation of this space.

This should be my line!

I’d be very down to be able to subscribe to a couple select subs back there.

But I’d also be a bit disappointed because several Reddit communities have fediverse versions that are just nicer to be in, and I’m not so sure they’d survive if people could just go interact with the reddit equivalents via federation.

I wouldn’t want it myself because I think Reddit is super shitty now, but if their instance could be blocked I suppose it wouldn’t matter.

That said I don’t think they will. They’ll remain in their walled garden until they’re as obsolete as AOL became.

They would immediately defed lemmygrad and hexbear, so it would not make a difference.

lemmy.world is already federated

They can do what they want, but if they want my contribution, they play by our rules.

Free, public API to support 3rd party readers. None of this paid API extortion, ads, super upvote monetization nonsense. AI generated stupid discussion communities I will block on sight.

More vibrant and active niche communities I will be happy to receive but I do like things as they stand too.

Cool. Biggest reason I quit reddit was I hate was them enforcing their dumb layout. While there exists other reasons like powermods, If I can visit it through mastodon or lemmy; why not really?

I’d start consuming content that originates on Reddit again, for one thing.

it wont happen, that would basically be broadcasting reddit content to servers whose intention is to offer it up the public for free (no ads).

if we cant utilize their api without paying through the nose, there is zero chance theyll let activitypub do it for free.

As long as it didn’t pollute the fedi timeline with ads, AI slop and partnered posts, that’d be OK to me… (If someone worrying about our posts/comments being used by AIs, it’s already happening even for those instances that does not federate with Threads; Proofs? Once I searched for my own username and I got surprised on how my fediverse posts are spread all across the results through federated instances that I never heard about, so if my fedi content shows on Google, it’s certainly being fed to some AI datasets)

people just dont understand how public the fediverse is.

It is radically public. It’s designed to broadcast your content to hundreds of other peoples’ computers running all manner of different software which might then rebroadcast it to yet more. The whole architecture is oriented toward spreading things far and wide, and what tools exist to restrict the audience or retract content already shared are little more than polite suggestions.

That’s not a flaw, but people using it should understand how it works so they don’t run into surprises.
