We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

      God, your third part is so true. The amount of times I’ve seen threads locked or comments removed because “you’re not playing nice.”

      Like come on. Most of the time it’s someone having a debate.

        After a while though it devolves into drivel. Folks “debating” just becomes a volley of insults. Mods probably have notifications enabled on threads, so if I thread blows up…well you can see my point.
