What if Reddit joined the Fediverse?

The recent Threads controversy brought this question to my mind.

It is certain that such a thing will not happen, but if it was in theory; what would your reactions be? Also are your views on this similar to your views on Threads?

It wouldn't make sense from a business standpoint. Reddit's content would be accessible through free and open instances which wouldn't bring traffic through Reddit and their ads. The thing that brought the end of the API and third party Reddit clients in the first place.

Edit: I completely missed the point of the question.

In other words: joining the Fediverse would not be the greedy thing to do, which is why we can be absolutely sure that spez would not consider it.
