I’m not contesting the location of the post, just its content. I upvoted your post, because that’s how the unpopular opinion subreddit worked, so I assume that’s how this works too.
I freely admit I was annoyed when I made my comment. I’m sorry about that. I did make an effort to specifically phrase it so that it simply shares my perspective and doesn’t assume anything about yours; simply asks questions. I guess I just don’t get why someone would bother protesting Reddit’s API profit-driven API changes and move to a not-for-profit platform only to turn around and be happy to invite a profiteering entity with a terrible track record onto it. Sure, I’m annoyed by it, but I’m also just confused, because it’s… inconsistent. Do you believe Meta/Reddit and other tech companies are interested in just profit, or not? From a corporate perspective, can we not agree that Meta would like to incorporate Fediverse users into their social media, and will reap additional profit if they do, which is all the incentive they need?
I’m sorry I implied I didn’t see a point of your post. I agree with you on all the other stuff you mentioned about Reddit having larger communities, and so on. Yes, Lemmy apps are still under development, and they’re a bit buggy, and this is new and weird, and so on. Change always is. That’s all fine and valid, and I can see why your post is a bonding ground for all the Redditors (including myself) who’ve left in the last month. I’m just confused about the attitude toward the companies. Honestly, I’m really afraid of having to move to yet another platform if Meta comes here, and that fear manifests itself as defensiveness. So I wasn’t very nice, and I’m sorry about that.
