    That would only apply to EU, though, right? I suppose it would be possible for it to force across the board changes from some sites, but I don’t know if Reddit would be one of them. Something to keep an eye on but not something that means I should give Reddit another chance, IMO.

      Yes, as I understand, the Digital Services Act applies only to users from the European Union. And it does not apply to Reddit because it is comparatively small and declining. So, of course, don’t migrate back :-)

      We can vote with our feet, e.g. migrating from Reddit to Lemmy. And we can literally vote against censorship, e.g. this particular provision of the Digital Services Act.

        Love it, vote with our feet, vote with our online activity!

        If we leave, the advertisers won’t pay near as much - and so the companies will have to try to better themselves to win users back.

        That won’t work, by the way - since there’s nothing better than an open source community run platform.
