Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

I feel like I have simpler reasons for leaving Reddit.
The third party apps quit working and the site and app run like shit and take forever to load.
Simple problems, simple solutions.
That’s actually the main reason most left, Lemmy has never seen a bigger increase in MAU before or after the death of 3rd party apps.
Not to say the other stuff isn’t important, but for me Reddit WAS Apollo. Without it, it didn’t even feel like the same service. Enough people felt the same about their preferred apps that they left en masse in 2023.

I left because once you see that most posts are just commercials and advertising and then you realize how they sell our attention span instead of paying us for it then I left. I don't work all day just to come home and make someone else money. Cut me in or eat shit.

Israel has killed more women and children than any other demographic. They have committed a genocide and the US president has called for an intensification and expansion of the genocide. Even going so far as to say he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
"You have been banned from r/worldnews for antisemitism and hate speech."

The most bizarre part of the Theranos scandal is that any medical lab tech/scientist could have told you, right from the initial pitch, the entire thing was a massive scam. There was literally no reason to ever think this technology was feasible and a mountain of reasons it wasn’t.
Tech execs have absolutely massive egos.

Reddit banned me for saying mean things about Elon and I'm not going back. Good riddance.
Can I get a "fuck Elon the Felon" my fellow netizen?

Once a company becomes publicly traded it always gets worse. Once the shareholders are closer to the executive compensation packages than the customers/users it is all downhill. It is like clockwork.
Might take a year, might take 10, but the result is inevitable.

The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.
I'm waiting to see the bubble poping out.

Digg is excited about "AI" moderation. So, they're gonna be going the route of banning users for wrongthink just as Reddit did. I don't think it's going to be that popular.
I watched the video on the Digg.com front page and it was a bunch of very rich dudes sitting on a couch, with the same energy and words of other very rich dudes. I don't think it will be better. They just don't live in the same world.

Oh no! Anyways, what's everyone's Friday plans?
Watching Star Trek with my pants down

Huh, maybe if reddit wasn't overly restrictive to free speech they'd get more actively engaged users. Oh well, I guess they'll have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I know this article blames reliance on google and stagnant ads for this, but I can't help but think restricting speech and shutting down discussions also plays a role. Front page of the internet my ass.
Not just restrictive of free speech. Openly abusive to users. Shadowbanning with zero indication of what is going on, or why.

Hey fam, I’m another Reddit refugee. I heard Lemmy is what Reddit was back in the day. Sad to see Reddit go to hell.
Sync for Lemmy feels just like Reddit is Fun (RiF). So good

Reddit is the Titanic, leadership is the iceberg, and the fediverse is the welcoming ocean.
I think fediverse being the ocean is apt.
We’re just here, with wave after wave eroding the shore of the island that is Reddit.

Gee, that's too bad. It would be a real shame if that piece of human garbage Steve Huffman lost everything. A crying shame.
He will exit filthy rich way before that. That’s the point.
-
at this point Elon should buy it too, drive it to ground like Twitter.
I don"'t like that solution because that means Huffman walks away with a golden payday instead of losing it all.

I left Reddit today. I'm not looking back. I'm absolutely done with these organizations that bow to fascist whimsy and demands. Pathetic stuff from Steve and the admins at Reddit. I hope their stock tanks and they lose their ass.
I got banned in 2022 for hate speech against Cops. Ive been lurking with libreddit.

Apparently Elon Musk pressured them into Banning people, and they just went along with it which tells you everything you need to know

I'm confused, that seems to imply there's other ways to watch Star Trek?

Always buy puts for reddit. Can you imagine if lemmy ever went public? That'd be an IPO id skip.
Do explain how lemmy would go public

I was one of those. Happily discovered Voyager. I go back, usually when a search link takes me there.
The mobile app is designed by people who I only imagine get paid by the bulk number of raw clicks/taps on UI elements.
