what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back (beehaw.org)

I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all

But, when I think about it even if spez did actually listen and reverse all changes I don't think i want to go back to Reddit cause from what Ive seen Lemmy is just friendlier and less :Be Corporate Friendly: I would honestly love it if Lemmy did a project like r/place one of these days so we could see what the internet is actually like instead of what happened in 2022 (I really did enjoy what a bunch of communities did but when the mods started abusing their powers to make it corporate r/place lost so much meaning) but i am curious since i'm not going back is there anything Reddit can do to make you go back to Reddit?

Reddit would basically have to undo a decade of transformation and prove that they've learned to listen to their community. Only after earning my trust with a proven track record of community-driven decisions would I come back.

At this point, even building up a track record like this, I don't know how I'd believe it. Particularly not with the same people in charge.

That's fair and I feel the same way. I think it would have to be a loooong track record over multiple years to convince me.

That said, I'd like to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, even u/spez if he were to come out with a sincere enough apology (not that I'm holding my breath or anything).
