Surely the lesson from Reddit (and Twitter and every other commercial social media entity) is that we shouldn't put our trust in a single organisation?

if you're going to take the "pain" of moving away from the network effect of your existing walled garden, surely it would better to move to something with a better governance model, like a federated solution? Lemmy is far from perfect but I have found it to provide a lot of what I looked for in Reddit's absence.

[I only really use Reddit on mobile, and so with the absence of decent mobile apps Reddit is effectively shut down for me]
