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?
@deegeese More the case of if they made it so their systems linked to ActivityPub and then Federated their servers. I would think that Reddit would get all the content that people are pushing away from Reddit and onto the Fediverse back towards there platform making users most likely not want to leave even more as they get the same thing they enjoy just with more things.
If they did that then a few things would happen:
Reddit would get access to all the content for any server they are federated with
Users would be able to see Reddit content from those same servers and could therefore use a 3rd party app to access it
This would lose Reddit out on all the advertising dollars they were hoping to achieve through this boondoggle forcing people to use their app.
@Godort Sounds like a pretty big positive for the Fediverse tbh.
