I agree, lemmy still has a lot of rough edges, but it would be better to depend on decentralized infrastructure, where no CEO will decide rules.

In case of Reddit it's just beginning. I don't really care about API access, but they send clear signal that they only care about profits, not about users and community. What's next? They will require paid subscription to browse content created by users for free, because traffic generates costs and they "have to be profitable"?

Today they still have huge userbase and it's their only advantage. There was Digg, there is Reddit and soon there will be next thing like lemmy.
