Shutting down API set Reddit on an obvious path where next migration waves were inevitable. I’m not sure that all of the reasons people think Reddit is bad are valid since I agree with banning for upvotes granted there’s a documented pattern of misbehaviour for example. People started to use Luigi as a verb and behaved like children when called out on following platform policy as well as law in general. Which is weird because they tried to do it on a corporate owned app and expected to be allowed to continue.
I don’t think Lemmy needs to get big. There’s a value in recognising nicknames and knowing people. We need as many small/medium sized communities as possible so that people have real connections rather than doing performances for general public. As long as they’re on ActivityPub we’ll figure out the rest later.
