Hypothetically, they could implement some internal api and open Reddit to the fediverse no? What would happen then? (I’m sure they won’t because they want the money… but I’m just speculating…)

    This would mean reddit reverting a shit load of stupid decisions and the instances here to not just defederate them in a instant.

    What would happen? Nothing significant.

      Even if they did reverse some of their decisions, Lemmy instance admins be like

        I mean the Facebook Twitter thing is also basically fully defederated before they even turned on federation. If reddit does it it will be even more, most people are on lemmy because they despise reddit.

        You’re more right than you know. Did you see this recent comment by lemmy.world admin Antik?

        Another hexbear user was angry because I didn’t want to transfer a community over to her. She felt like she had the rights to !gamingcirclejerk@lemmy.world over the moderator who created it here on LW because she moderated the original community on reddit. She ask me to just hand it over to her and the reddit mods or rename the current existing one… After I denied to do that - but proposing the be the middle-man in the talks with the current moderator - she started saying “the community will not like that and they will react to this”.

        So that’s another thing to keep in mind. I just ignore it now and ban the accounts because there is no talking or being reasonable with these people.

        The complete fucking arrogance . . . and no leg to stand on outside Reddit.

          lmao just by that petty action alone I wouldn’t deem this account fit of having any mod power at all.
