What if Reddit joined the Fediverse?
(media.kbin.social)
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?
It is like asking why rich people don't leave their luxury apartments for living side by side with a community. Answer is money. They will never leave the power of ads and the profit that they can make by subscription and addons.
@banana_meccanica I'm not asking if they will or not, I think we all know that they will most likely not. I was more asking what you think would happen if they did.
They will lose everything and they will probably find themself in hard times with sponsors and banks who demain to pay the bill. So first a bankrupt will be happen, crazy moments that can lead even on suicide of some managers of the company. If they survive this and come there as fediverse will be actually a surprise reborn, like a phoenix come back from ashes, but still marked by the bankrupts, legal problem and maybe blood.
@banana_meccanica That's a fair point, I really do hope they could fix themselves but the best way to go is probably to start from scratch and join the fediverse and bring the users over lol.
