Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users.
For me it’s pretty clear, after deleting my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord accounts, the decentraliced Fediverse is my future in social media. Even with an very much smaller community, i’m not willing to be treated as ad-cow for the big corps.
But what do you think about your future in social media? Fediverse or Reddit, Meta, Google and all the others? Or will you go safe and use both, to have an backup option?

Unless this place becomes as dead as before the exodus again, I don’t think I’ll be spending much time on Reddit anymore. I’ve been meaning to browse less anyways as it’s often a giant waste of time. I don’t expect that to be much different here but it might be less of a waste due to the smaller scale.
I’ll still google for Reddit when I need to find some actual answers though; no way around that for now.
