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?

If Lemmy really picks up I'd entirely switch, even if reddit fixes it's shit. But rn Lemmy and the fediverse is still pretty low on content, especially compared to reddit. Plus it's really clunky and unrefined. Rn I don't mind but Lemmy and the fediverse are gonna have to buckle down and improve things so people are more apt to make the switch and make the whole experience here more user friendly and enjoyable.
