Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users.
For me it’s pretty clear, after deleting my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord accounts, the decentraliced Fediverse is my future in social media. Even with an very much smaller community, i’m not willing to be treated as ad-cow for the big corps.
But what do you think about your future in social media? Fediverse or Reddit, Meta, Google and all the others? Or will you go safe and use both, to have an backup option?

Yeah, Reddit cannot be trusted anymore, even if they revert the API thing (which they don’t even acknowledge as a bad thing), their goal is to please the potential investors and not their community.
The Fediverse is refreshing, made by passion and not for profit, I like Lemmy and I will still stay here even if Reddit backtracks on their decisions.
On Android, Jerboa is pretty ok right now, and the influx of new contributors is a great thing, the development of Jerboa will be way faster now.
