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)
It’s not Facebook. A new platform. I’ve never been a meta fan. Or a Zucker fan. But it was actually a really interesting conversation.
He could be absolutely full of shit, but if you take what he says on its face value, interesting points of view.
i think in some ways the zuck, while lacking of morals, is a true believer of, like, living on the web
its insane the amount of money and time has been dumped into the meta verse. i think he would do more if he could justify it
Yeh. On the surface what he says seems great. But I am very skeptical about how it plays out in practice.
