    If reddit actually reverses course on the API stuff, then hell yeah I’m going back. But if the sub just reopens after the blackout without any substantive change, nah I’m staying here.

      D: why you go back when you have a non profit community running on free software?

      I’m glad reddit is going down because finally FOSS can get the spotlight

        Yeah, it’s a bit of a wake up call/eye opener for me. Why would I stay on a site that fully adheres to the rule “if a service is free, the user is the product”. When there’s now perfectly good non profit alternatives. Also, this is why Facebook/Twitter/Google etc need to either stay well away from the fediverse or just get defederated. As soon as they start participating they’ll just start taking over and trying to monetize the platform.

    If the r/196 vibe stays here I’m gonna keep vibin here. I’m liking lemmy so far and don’t forget: the community isn’t the subreddit - we just happened to be on that subreddit. 196 can be anywhere we want baby 🤠
