Yeah, that’s great when it’s a coalition of roughly equal platforms. What happens when a platform thousands of times the size of the others starts making demands?
I don’t see why the size of the user-base matters here. Why would Lemmy’s developers feel the need to implement these hypothetical reactions just because Threads does? Why would Mastodon? They’re not making demands, they’d be making changes just like everyone else. Everyone else could choose to add support for reactions or not. Things would still function without them.
