If Reddit were to revert it's changes to 3rd party apps would you stay on Lemmy or move back to Reddit?

I've wanted to leave since the old shitredditsays days (had the handle /u/outwrangle ), but back then there weren't any good alternatives (SA cost actual money and Tumblr went to shit after it was acquired by Yahoo) so I stayed on leddit out of a lack of alternatives.

The blackout is just the brd finally coming to free us from the hellsite. I will never return.

I forgot all about SRS, back in the day one of the first times a Reddit comment I wrote got a bunch of upvotes some SRS folks came after me and it was super confusing. I got really bizarre messages from angry people who seemed completely unhinged.

When all you have is a hammer, all your problems look like nails. There were sometimes... excesses.
