I will be using both for now.

I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won’t be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it’s something I am very glad exists though. It’s the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it’s very promising with a few rough edges.

P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here 😉
