Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.

I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?

    I don’t think they will anymore. porn has become such a high traffic item that they’ve worked with sex workers on reddit to set up a system that accommodates them as much as possible while taking “non-US friendly” traffic offsite.

    I know they’re likely to go full fash but this is a way bigger meal ticket than it used to be the last time they tried to scrub all porn (which they did, don’t let them bullshit you)
