thanks for the interesting post @Edent
Reddits current plans are another reminder that centralized proprietary service providers can't be trusted.
Unfortunately that is where the majority goes, because it is simpler.... and everybody else is already there, too...
looking at facebook (in the past), Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord... etc.
What i love about reddit is, that they have a multitude of topics i can discuss with one account. Lemmy won't be that I'm afraid.
