How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn't made to plot against the soviets.

The amount of bots, spam and other problematic content would be overwhelming for admins to moderate, most instances would just defederate on day 0.

The only community I cared about on refit was r/Korea because I was a new migrant here. But I got banned for posting a link to my own website where I uploaded this video https://tube.jeena.net/w/aBpFLKq3x2r9R3aSrBtece which I myself recorded. They said I should have uploaded it to YouTube instead and was banned for ever.

Now I try to build up !korea@lemmy.funami.tech and it's not going great, basically only lurkers there :D but that's OK. I'm still so but hurt about being banned that I don't want them here anyway.

Was it an IP ban?

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 3 points 2 months ago

No just a posting ban on my username. But I'm not an asshole to circumvent it, if they block me then they don't want me there and then they don't deserve me contributing there.

You're looking for Lemmy.world, and the answer is that it swallows up the larger part of the main federated instances, and becomes one of the worst instances.

Reddit clearly spends like $6 per year on feature engineering so this would require around one millennia to implement.

It would give me new respect for reddit’s leadership, given the tight grip they have on their content at the moment.

A lemmyversary? Or Day of Creation? Creaday?
