      Death of third-party Reddit apps due to exorbitantly increased prices for API usage.

          The fallout afterwards and the insane fascist backlash from the overlord is what drove me here. Also never looked back as far as daily use goes, but sadly searches and specific niche cases (SFW, lol) still bring me there occasionally.

      I’m thinking reddit is cracking down more of speech. Heavier moderation can lead to something like this.

    i wonder what things will be like if lemmy ever gets large enough to warrant attention from vulture funds and the american gov’t

        Even if we sold out, at most they could get control over lemmy.ml and the git repository. Other instances are under no obligation to upgrade to new Lemmy versions, and could switch to a forked project if needed. The vast majority of Lemmy isnt under our control at all (which is the major difference compared to Reddit).

        that’s only true for the minority of instances on the lemmverse and the american government likes to use “bread and stick” tactics to force people to do things.

            you say that as if the american gov’t doesn’t have a reach outside this country…
