We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

But when the hype hits then suddenly money could talk and things could get worse unfortunate.

Lets hope the best and use it while it lasts
