The #RedditMigration is going to cause a bigger disruption to the fediverse than either the #TwitterMigration or #MetaMigration.
tikitaki@bkeegan it's causing big growth for lemmy and kbin
I'm not sure Mastodon will feel it necessarily just because it's already at millions of users

Reddit announced API pricing changes is where it started, but the planned pricing isn't quite based in reality.
Once the debate started Reddit hasn't been on its best behavior when responding to 3rd party devs and the community.
Moved over the lemmy myself, quite enjoying it so far. I do have some worries of the technical kind, but they should be solvable.
Time will tell how this will go in the long run.

📣 I want to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support
I wanted to address Reddit's continued, provably false statements, as well as answer some questions from the community, and also just say...
Chris Wenham@MalthusJohn @bkeegan The issue has expanded beyond just the API after Huffman made disparaging comments in the press, including calling the mods "landed gentry".
Reddit actively invites users to start and bring their communities to Reddit, so many did. Now Reddit likes to think it owns those communities and the content they produce, and the ones who started and maintained them are nuisances that can be disposed of.

@bkeegan Reasons why i am here: Left facebook and moved to twitter when oculus users were getting banned for not using real names. left twitter and moved to reddit when elon took over and started shittifying the platform. Left reddit and moved to mastodon when the ceo decided his ipo was more important than his content creators and users.
