What if reddit joins the fediverse? What are the implications for that if it were even feasible? We would end up with subreddits as communities on Lemmy such as !askreddit@reddit.com, perhaps.

What are the community’s thoughts on this, given the new app by Meta that has attempted to join our free society? Do we just defed, and hope that all the popular instances all do the same?

    Threads was released today and is already larger than Mastodon. The overwhelming size is another reason people are against federation, in top of concerns over data scraping and monetization (the hate speech is already starting up on there too). Facebook has such a poor reputation, I don’t know that Reddit would have as terrible of a reception but it would also be controversial.
