    what i fear is that reddit will take completely unnecessary but effective potshots at the fediverse and take down instances or fill them with bots just to punish those who made a point of leaving.

      I expect it from reddit, Twitter and Facebook. This is a competitive service, and it’s not backed by a rich person that can swing money around to discover their behavior and sue them. They’ll likely be doing some shady stuff to make sure this either doesn’t work, or is under their control.

        it’s not even about suing - i was reading the instance owners post about the version upgrade and it struck me that’s truly just down to random volunteers to work out tech issues. debugging malicious actions of a bigger team is just unfair.
