Reddit must now answer to its shareholders as well as its vocal users.
As well as?
I’m not to sure about that second part.
When did Reddit answer to any users?
About 15 years ago.
When they first got popular and had to ban all the pedo subs because people were pissed
All the time. The answers were usually to the tone of “lol, fuck you”.
I finally offboarded r/modernart to lemmy.ml/c/modernism today in anticipation of the IPO launch. Already reddit heavily censors and recuperates anything radical. That’s only going to get much worse along with advertising and bots. I can’t see the website lasting in its current form and that’s already pathetic. Lemmy is poised to really take off as reddit ratfucks itself.
Why lemmy.ml?
Totally ignorant question from me - why not?
They’re tankies. As in, supports the CCP kind of tankies.
More specifically, “Tiananmen Square didn’t happen and if it did it’s good” kind of tankies.
They are pretty controversial for a lot of (well founded) reasons, but I think the main thing in your case is that they are very heavy handed in their moderation, an odd place to go when trying to avoid censors
Yeah when I first made my account back in June, i was under the impression that it didnt matter what community you made an account on. They all are linked together. Over time it seems like some groups dont like other groups and defederate from them. Lemmy.ml was one if the biggest groups at the time, so I joined it
@happybadger Create your own instance while you still can. If you’re interested in hosting large images pick mbin instead of Lemmy and I can help you bypass filesize restrictions
“while you still can”
That is ominous. Creating my own instance has been a “someday” project for me. Is there something to be worried about?
If you want to be your own community’s host, you’ll also want to start your own community on your instance. The longer you wait, the more users will have to move from the current to the new community. We started ours on an existing server (and it still exists) but we realized early that it would not give us enough control over the posted content (specifically filesize limitations) So we quickly started our own instance.
lemmy.ml, one of the larger instances and the original? Seems good enough reason to me.
Ignoring lemmy.ml specific reasons, using a federated platform just to join the largest host is very very silly.
I mean, sure. But I certainly wouldn’t be confused why someone did.
[email protected] for the lazy.
Hey member that time AOL bought Warner Brothers. And everybody was all “wow these internet companies are here to stay!”
Lol
Can anyone remember what share price Reddit offered to “power users?”
It was pretty damn high
IPO price, around $30, so it’s up 50%.
Normal IPO, you have to hold like 6 months then sell. It artificially increases scarcity and keeps price up.
The reddit users can sell right now though, and if enough do it at once, it can scare off new buyers and make those who already bought after IPO sell.
It could waterfall and leave the traditional IPO buyers who can’t sell get stuck holding the bag.
It was $34 I’m waiting for options to pop up so I can buy puts and make money on it dropping to $25 over the next 6 weeks.
Lotsa regards gonna be sellin ass behind the Wendy’s dumpster.
Ha! It’s already falling in price.
