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.

Do you think it would be beneficial or practical in the long run?

How do you think people would change their thoughts of the Fediverse if platforms like Reddit did do this sort of thing?

What would you do if Reddit did join the Fediverse?

I'd be for it. Would be nice to finally delete my old reddit account, but still be able to occasionally check in on a few niche subs.

@beefbaby182 Yeah here's for either Reddit going down or for them to possibly join the Fediverse

As much as I'd like to be able to see subreddits on the fediverse, I'd be more worried spez having influence than zuck (threads).

@beefbaby182 that is a fair point just hope Reddit falls slowly to force users to move across to platforms like Lemmy and Kbin

I really need to dip my toes into kbin and see what that's all about. I've heard nothing but good things about it and I've definitely taken to Lemmy quicker and easier than I did to Mastodon.

@beefbaby182 Yeah it's like a mix of both Lemmy and Mastodon, Has a few features missing here and there but they seem to be added quite quickly.
