We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

    Thanks for the detailed reply! This doesn’t sound like the first, nor the last, time where communities centered around hate inevitably implode under their own hatred. Or get shunned and isolated by the larger community (and rightfully so).

      Yep, and I’ll add that I don’t even think the admin was hate-filled, but as a result of their ultra-freedom ideals, they tolerated hatred and soon realized they were surrounded by it, and it wasn’t just edginess or banter to get reactions out of progressives.
