nothing. it’s at the mercy of the instance admins or those who host the instances.
if at some point they get bought up, or decide to collude, you won’t have any options.
they are also subject to the national laws in which their servers reside.
people forget, reddit started as a server in someone’s basement too in 2005. it was a start up, then it got purchased by conde nast in 2006, who started advertising it. i found reddit in 2007 as part of Wired’s website feed.
reddit was niche until the mid 2010s, it became a top 10 website in 2017-2018, and now is 7th most popular site on the internet, just behind twitter/x.
Exactly. This was my thought. I remember early reddit. It was amazing and we all said the same shit
Being able to upvote and downvote posts meant anything could be posted and the community moderated. Then it all shifted. Voting no longer mattered other than to be smug and say you don’t agree. I look at lemmy and it seems like it took the moderator first approach. It took the worst parts of reddit.

If you don’t understand the distinction between voting and federation, perhaps toy need to do some more reading?
Nothing I said implied this. We’re all having a discussion here. I don’t think this type of lazy statement helps anything.
