I can't speak for anyone else, but I haven't been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.
"Landed gentry"... Because that's what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.
Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like "enshittification"? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.
There is a term that describes this behavior that we've been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren't all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA...

I haven't really messed with Lemmy at all yet, but Kbin is almost exactly like signing up for/using reddit. if you can use reddit, you can figure out Kbin very easily.

So, because us laymen can't think of exactly how they would do it, that means it's not possible?
The best (and often only) indicator of future behavior is past behavior. And if we go on that, I think we all know how Meta looks.

You would only ever know what Meta would be willing to tell you anyway. Also, there's the whole NDA thing.

Massive corporations never "throw money" at people or things without strings. I'd be very wary about what taking money from Meta would mean.

Fucking thank you. Are people really this gullible? Maybe I have a different perspective because I've been free from Facebook for like 15 years now, but do these people really think that Meta/Facebook wants to be nice to its competitors? Suddenly they're going to give up the business model that has made them one of the biggest, most profitable corporations that has ever existed on this planet, and do the exact opposite of what they did to get there? LOL.

I'm sure they're watching the reddit situation very closely.
