    That would never happen though. The icentives of Christian Selig and the incentives of Reddit are very different. People like it because it’s not made by Reddit

      That is the crux of the issue, yeah. Reddit needs to make money, which requires enshittifying their app to serve more ads…which drives people away from using their app.

      Lemmy’s lack of profit motive is probably the best thing going for it. The decentralization is good too, but I still think it’s secondary to the fact that it doesn’t need to try to make a profit
