Hi all! What’s your opinion? Let’s pretend reddit would give in to the protest and cancel the plan to increase the API pricing. Would all of you go back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy?
I mean… what has been said by the CEO cannot be unsaid now. We all now know what we are in the eyes of the CEO.
“Ending up like Facebook” is framed as a bad thing here, but it’s an amazingly great outcome if you’re a Reddit executive or investor. Facebook may have fallen out of favor among the kinds of people who post on Lemmy, but it is massively profitable and is either the #2 or #3 most visited site on the Internet depending on whether you count YouTube as part of Google. Reddit would love to fail like that!
