Why would any third party dev want to return after Reddit so thoroughly killed any trust they have?
I think they're trying to compromise something un-compromising.
3rd party apps are out, mods were replaced by force, Reddit hid behind their users like they were a human shield saying "oh, but remember your users and community!"
Reddit has clearly opened the floodgates on what they're willing to do in order to keep the site under control, and every subreddit and user suffers because of it.
Lemmy is at least a way out of that oppression.
I suspect they might end up creating their own brand of astroturfed influencers, at a price.
For example, PR men or sellers of car accessories modding r/carmods or whatever.
