So I have thoughts about what if platforms that we seemly are trying to move away from such as Reddit decided to Fedirate and join the Fediverse.

Do you think it would be beneficial or practical in the long run?

How do you think people would change their thoughts of the Fediverse if platforms like Reddit did do this sort of thing?

What would you do if Reddit did join the Fediverse?

    Exactly. Lemmy.world had about 11k active users in the last week. As much as many of us want Reddit to end up in the Web 2.0 graveyard, that’s peanuts compared to Reddit’s userbase. It’s not in their business interest to give us free access to communities we’re missing from Reddit in the Fediverse. If anything that makes it easier for their users to leave.

      @AccidentalLemming We need to make sure that these big tech companies don’t fall to quickly as outages of the Fediverse could kill it pretty quickly if the millions of users from even one platform did try to move across all at once.

        Fair point. We want a trickle then, not a flood. This means that reddit needs to be consistently bad, the shitty user experience needs to continue for a long time, with constant attention on the same, so that more and more people want to leave it and move somewhere better.
