Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.
I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?
Due to the pressure’s and scrutiny they have been receiving from the current administration, I bet their next solution will be: a LLM that will monitor users, mark them as “subversive elements”, Generate a dossier on them (cause LLMs always tell the truth), then auto reports them to the FBI.
