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 Reddit isn't destroyed, and I don't think it will be, I'll likely keep using it for the main function I use it for. Using a search engine to search "technical problem I have Reddit".

While there's many online resources to find the answers to my technical issues, Reddit typically has the highest quality discussions on average or serves as a jumping off point to the answers at least.

But I will continue to use Lemmy for browsing and adding in my 2 cents when I feel the need. I've become a somewhat recent enthusiast of FOSS, Linux, and the fediverse.
