Can Reddit Federate? Should It?
Hey all,
I was just listening to the Lex Fridman podcast where Mark Zuckerberg mentioned Meta’s plans for a federated platform. It got me wondering: Could Reddit follow that path too?
Are there technical or financial obstacles that might prevent this? More importantly, should Reddit even consider this move? Would it be a win or a loss for us, the users, and for internet culture in general? Keen to hear your thoughts on this!
(I’m a recent Reddit refugee, fed up with the situation over there. Found Lemmy searching for info on homelab during the blackout. Found all the main things I need here. And the community is great. Like Reddit used to be. Can’t see myself going back)

reddit is better off being a closed platform.
Why?
so the cancer doesnt spread
The bots have been eating it alive for a while now.
@tallwookie i mean a corpse doesn't get more dead...well no wait necromancy can fix that. so I am wrong.
@LachlanUnchained
casts light
casts turn undead
casts holy smite
That’s one way to look at it. The other is what can they salvage from the wreck. Does it have any intrinsic value.
