Can Reddit Federate? Should It? - Lemmy Unchained

Hey all, I was just listening to the Lex Fridman podcast where Mark Zuckerberg mentioned Meta’s plans for a federated platform. It got me wondering: Could Reddit follow that path too? Are there technical or financial obstacles that might prevent this? More importantly, should Reddit even consider this move? Would it be a win or a loss for us, the users, and for internet culture in general? Keen to hear your thoughts on this! (I’m a recent Reddit refugee, fed up with the situation over there. Found Lemmy searching for info on homelab during the blackout. Found all the main things I need here. And the community is great. Like Reddit used to be. Can’t see myself going back)

meta wants to do a federated plataform???

Yeh. Seems to be the case. He talked about it at length. Text based to start.

I would be suspicious that they are trying to love people away from Twitter.

Then monetise other areas of their metaverse.

I was never a fan of Zuckerberg, but I finished listening to that podcast quite hopeful.

Though he could just be lying about everything to keep people on side 🤷‍♂️
