With Threads/Meta heading for the fediverse, and Tumblr looking at ActivityPub, how would you feel if Reddit decided to add support and federate Kbin & Lemmy?

Is it even possible?

If so is it likely it even inevitable?

    I suspect the weird recurring memes that require decade old knowledge of the platform to fully understand is going to create some “quirky” AI hallucinations

      Maybe what they really want to sell is more like the Twitter firehose feed, for real-time sentiment analysis and market predictions. I’m not happy that Lemmy gives that out at all, but I don’t see a good way to prevent it. I think interesting communities will eventually have to go private.

        Giving it out free devalues those trying to profit from the same product. And if it’s free, open source platforms can benefit too.

        My I’m feeling optimistic tonight.
