If someone like Musk were to take control of Reddit, be prepared. Let's be real, Spez is not even in the same league as Musk in terms of being unpalatable to Redditors so claiming something like "already has been" is ... a choice. But for sure, if someone far worse takes over, there will be an exodus. And frankly, the Fediverse is fully unprepared to handle that, so that'll be fun.
Which is why Musk will keep spez to take the blame, just tweaking the site slightly to not allow it to ban links to X anymore.
When Musk took over Twitter I deleted all my Tweets and never even visited the site again, blocked on parental filters and through NextDNS.
I had been there since 2006.
I would definitely do the dame for Reddit if Musk took over, and I have been there since like 2010 and have some million total karma across several accounts (mostly on one).
I actually did quit for about a year when they killed 3rd party apps.
Just do it now, why wait.
Also, don't forget the following:
I probably should. I left for a long while when they killed the APi and only recently went back. But recently I started actively using platforms like this one as part of an effort to remove Resdit from my sphere.
I feel like spez is swallowing billiard balls to be ready to accomodate musk
About adding new instances to handle the load:
There's four possible legal structures that could be behind a messaging service:
I think it fits the spirit of the Fediverse best to consider the lower two options. A club is a free get-together of humans for some purpose, such as sports club, literature club, you could have a Fediverse club. I highly support this approach, because it is non-profit-oriented, lives off donations, and is rooted by responsible individuals who do something good for the community. Also, individual humans can host smaller instances, but as the instances grow in size, having multiple people behind it to back it up could make things more stable over time.
