Reddit Is Letting Power Users In on Its IPO. Not Everyone’s Buying::Reddit says it wants to reward users by letting them buy into the company’s public listing. Some say it’s too risky—others say they won’t pay a company they’ve already given hours of free labor to.
they gave me the option, but I’m not in the US so I couldn’t even do it if i wanted. so why they even asked me to is beyond me. it’s just bs.
“hey… wanna buy our stuff?”
“yes”
“oh you’re not from the US. sorry.”
“but you knew I’m not from the US”
“meh.”
what if we edit our old posts to random junk to mess up the ai
a lot of people do. there are greasemonkey scripts for it. some scripts even only delete certain old posts after a certain date so reddit isn’t picking up to it quickly.
This asshole is just exercising his options to take money from the same moderators that were up in arms over his changes last year. Make no mistake, this is Spez’s revenge.
I really hope this whole thing backfires on reddit, but I think the reality is that it will further enshittify until it’s profitable, and it’s already so big it’s unlikely to fail.
Lemmy just isn’t a replacement and I think the nature of lemmy will stop it from ever being one unless someone throws godlike resources at one giant instance that federates with basically nobody.
What is holding lemmy back? I use it almost exclusively for months and find it to be a great replacement.
I think the main thing holding it back is the lack of active niche communities.
They will get created and grow
The second group of people are honest AF 😂
