What if Reddit joined the Fediverse?
(media.kbin.social)
So I have thoughts about what if platforms that we seemly are trying to move away from such as Reddit decided to Fedirate and join the Fediverse.
Do you think it would be beneficial or practical in the long run?
How do you think people would change their thoughts of the Fediverse if platforms like Reddit did do this sort of thing?
What would you do if Reddit did join the Fediverse?
It would be deliciously ironic, since way back at the dawn of Reddit they had originally planned to have a "federated" model that let other people run their own interconnected Reddit servers. They open-sourced their code in preparation. But then they realized they could make all the money for themselves and ditched that plan.
I've heard Reddit was open source, but has anyone else ever hosted it before?
There are several instances out there based on the old source.

@FaceDeer This would be an even bigger kick in the teeth to them, and I would love to see a world where they rather Fedarise or they fall due to not doing it.
