@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.
@Lexam That's fair enough, I was just meer asking if they did want to, how would you feel about it but if you think that people would prefer to block them from the other parts of the Fediverse that's a fair opinion.
@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.
@msprout Yeah I wasn't really asking for the logistics of it, I understand that it is most likely impossible at least with Reddit and other big tech like them. From what I've read Tumblr is interested themself moving across to the Fediverse, I just wanted to know what people think would happen if they had the green light from the ActivityPub team to move into the Fediverse and what sort of lasting effects that could have for the future of the Fediverse.
@Chozo Thank you, yeah I was thinking that it would help push the Fediverse well making the users that want to stick to Reddit the ability to do so, or even more away well still having access to the previously preferred boards.
@platysalty Yeah, really do hope that it gets to a point they have to question about it, as it would mean the Fediverse is doing that well we took down a centralized platform.
@FaceDeer This would be an even bigger kick in the teeth to them, and I would love to see a world where they rather Fedarise or they fall due to not doing it.
@HipPriest Trolls and Toxic comments will most likely come in the future with Fedi sadly as you said, we are still small and as we grow it will push people to show their true colors or feel safe behind a screen.
@BlackEco Yeah it would be really good to see Tumblr and any other platform that people generally like using to move over to the Fediverse at some stage.
@justlookingfordragon Yeah I hope they just fail and people decide to move across, not sure if it would be easier if they just collapse or if they keep messing up to the point people just look for alternatives like Kbin and Lemmy.
@msprout Yeah I would love to see what Reddit would do if they did but I wouldn't want them taking control over the protocol or anything in that matter.
@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.
Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can't have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I've looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I'm not sure what to do....
@technologicalcaveman Thank you never have heard of a WinToUSB but will really need to look into it as it sounds like a great way to be able to run Linux.
@art I think that might be a good idea, I was originally going to test running Windows in a VM on Windows and then think about Running Linux with a Windows VM on that. But I feel as if I might just need to VM my Linux as it would be easier due to my dependencies with my apps at the moment, I will be looking into changing or even removing the function of the apps I don't need as much as possible.
@Minty95 Thank you, yeah I think I will probably invest in External Hard Drives as I have a lot of data to store with over 5TB worth currently on my Sync Cloud Storage and that's ever-growing. I looked into a 10TB External HDD and it seems they are around £200 which isn't cheap by any means but is cheaper than paying £300 a year (If I only use up 15TB per year).
@stevecrox Yeah I basically do need that, There's a lot of usage with Sync that I enjoy such as its auto-saving to the cloud. I think because of the amount of storage I do take up I will be looking into External 10TB Hard Drives as they cost only £200 each (What is a lot but sort of worth it when your currently paying £300 a year on Cloud Storage).
@Minty95 The Second-Hand NAS is a good idea, I've already stuffed about 5 hard drives into my already small case for my PC so NAS might be a good option.
@Zeppo The goal would be to use Linux as my base OS in the future. As I look through the many comments from everyone I am now re-evaluating some of the things I feel I 'Need' in my set up such as my Sync Cloud Storage, Instead I hope to move over to External Hard Drives.
Knowing Adobe is a huge part of my setup does hurt the idea of moving to Linux at the moment but I will have to find if there is a workaround other than VMs in the future. People mentioned GPU Passthrough on the VM which would help a lot, It's just not only learning how to run a VM but how to do the pass-through on it.
But yes I do wish to move to Linux in the future but maybe baby testing the Distos I think I might like on a VM might be the best way to step into this rather than going into the deep end straight away.
@i_cant_sports I've tried using WSL before but I seem to not be able to boot up into the Distro from clicking on the Linux WSL application after it appeared, I still might give it another go and see if it will run this time, thank you.
What if Reddit joined the Fediverse?
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....
With seemingly at least one new app announced per day.... (thelemmy.club)
I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported
