With Threads/Meta heading for the fediverse, and Tumblr looking at ActivityPub, how would you feel if Reddit decided to add support and federate Kbin & Lemmy?

Is it even possible?

If so is it likely it even inevitable?

Those making decisions about this will not approve of this as there is no immediate business benefit to be seen.

Reddit in 2023 is different that the one it was built upon once upon a time. And fuck u/spez

If Meta does end up Federating, then Reddit would potentially be able to gain 100M (or whatever the latest crazy numbers are) potential viewers of ads disguised as content. That’s a lot of eyeballs to try and make money off of!

For the Lemmy/KBin side, being able to potentially monetize the people that specifically left your shitty platform has to look somewhat appealing.
