I gave up the game there after 12 years… of mostly lurking though.
I’m just trying to get permabanned for mentioning Lemmy and sharing my views on billionaires at this point
Same bro I got a three day ban yesterday.
They gave me one too, but I extended it to perma just to make sure I don’t feel tempted to go back.
Same lol. I just had to ban evade and say that last patriot comment about amplifying the idiots and supressing the dissenters is not how we should run a democracy. Boom permaban. Do not question reddit moderation policy. It’s worse than luigi.
As you should
Yeah, they gave me a three day ban a few days ago, so I joined here. I have no plans on going back ever. I uninstalled the reddit app. I had been on that site to some degree for more than half my life.
Not surprising seeing as theyve also been unjustly banning people again. Just got booted off the site today and was given zero explanation besides I “incited violence.” The link to the supposed “violation” didnt work then when I asked in my appeal they wouldnt tell me anything. Im left to assume its because my politics didnt agree with the current regime.
Musk has been pressuring them to go after critics of him, and the administration, and Reddit is capitulating. Cowards.
I suspect it is because they want to buy TikTok, and they know HitlerPig will award it based on appeasement and the bribe.
It’ll be funny to watch them start lifting those bans when they realize bending the knee to fascists isn’t gonna save the site. Oh well. They’ve shown their true colors as a platform.
I’ve wondered if that will happen once they realize they’ve chased off so many core members.
I’m not sure I’d return. I like the higher volume of posts on Reddit, especially in niche subs, but i don’t miss the bots, trolls, puns, novelty accounts, Russian karma farmers, etc.
I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I’ll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.
I don’t think i would. There would have to be mass firings and a complete restructuring of the company for me to consider that.
Man is that overvalued as fuck.
I would need to verify the timelines but I am pretty sure this has jack all to do with Luigi Mangione
And… maybe look at the stock market as a whole. Again, grain of salt without a proper analysis, but this doesn’t look much different than the entire stock market that is constantly fluctuating as we wonder what industries will get hit the hardest by the hourly tariffs and which are going to get exemptions and so forth.
I think it’s plausible to have uncertainty as an investor given Musk pressured Huffman into censoring criticism against him. To me, seems like he has some pictures of Huffman that would make his jailbait moderating days look tame.
You VASTLY overestimate how much anyone cares.
The president is a rapist with multiple high profile affairs and strong ties to epstein’s pedophile island. It took the better part of four years for people to decide that spending time on a twitter that was increasingly just pro-nazi rhetoric, snuff, and porn was a bad idea… and they only did that because a different corporate owned social media site finally switched to open registration.
It doesn’t matter what reddit leadership does or might have done. People will use the site until the Influencers switch to a different one. Simple as that.
I do think most attempts to explain stock prices is pointless. And it’s just back where it was a year ago.
But if we’re going to explain any narrative I think this one makes the most sense. I could also try to guess where the price will be in 5 years, which is also impossible. Why not guess 0? If we’re having fun I might as well be optimistic.
… Okay. If you don’t think there is enough evidence and don’t like the explanation already given (the entire stock market is REALLY volatile right now because of the constant threat and enacting and repealing of tariffs) then… sure. I guess you can choose to make up whatever shit you want because it makes you happy?
That is totally not an incredibly problematic mindset and one of the root causes of the hellscape we live in.
Just explaining the upvotes and why I found it interesting. It’s like astrology, there’s nothing wrong with entertainment. Not everything needs to be correct or rationale. Sometimes it’s fun to act you know? Anyone who thinks they understand the stock market movements is a dunce.
My astrology reading for you today is a positive mindset, sunny weather and rainbows in your wake. I know you’ll have a rain cloud but it’s fun to pretend! 😜
Good. Fuck em.
I didn’t even know they did their IPO yet - I knew they were planning it for years though.
It’s been slightly over a year since they did, IIRC.
They also sent out a ton of spam messages to their members begging them to buy stock at the time.
Yeah, it was funny to get that after I’d moved to Lemmy. (I keep my account open so I have control over deletion of comments)
IPO = enshittification guaranteed
Reddit seems like the worst company to invest in. The only thing they have of value is content created by other people in the past.
It’s not like the other social media platforms where people get trapped there for various reasons. Companies stay on Twitter, for instance, because they have followers and marketing that depends on it. I stay on instagram cause my wife and kids share things as well as organizations.
There was nothing keeping me on Reddit outside of the content. I don’t need to be on Reddit to get that content. And enough people have left Reddit and started building that content on Lemmy.
Not if used as a propaganda tool, much like rmFB, YouTube,etc
The only thing they have of value is content created by other people
This works great for YouTube, but Google is arguably the biggest ad company in the world. Just because an ad company with a sideline in user-generated content can make it work doesn’t mean that a user-generated content company trying to figure out advertising can make it work.
Once upon a time I went to Reddit as a Digg refugee. Now I have come to Lemmy as a Reddit refugee.
Your username just hit me right in the feels
" you didn’t really believe that did you?"
Yes, I fucking did. And now I’m devastated to learn that cute harmless little hippos don’t live in my house. 😭
I miss media literacy Ads like the house hippo
♥️✨
you need to compare this with the market as a whole. the whole market is dropping and it has nothing to do with this
Good. Fuck em.
The reason is their revenue growth is dwarfed by all of the other tech/social media companies they exist in orbit with so they look weak, which they are.
Must be some hell of insider trading, shorting the stock and driving reddit to the ground cause there is no other explanation why they would keep making more stupud decisions
I know it’s bizarre
The drop started right around the first wave of bans. Fuck Reddit.
I left however many days ago my Lemmy account says - from being a daily user ^
So it was me that caused it.
You’re gonna get so much ankle, hero.
I hope my dude is sitting down somewhere alone
good job @sendprudes@lemm.ee
