Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.
-
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.
Where is the Garfield spez comic?

I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I'd repeating numerous times before he was elected.
I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I've seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We're the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.
Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit's foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.
I created throw away and many main acts in case one gets banned, I usually avoid the permansub bans with new acts, until much later. So I'm also hearing that reddit links your accounts with strangers, if they get banned all your accounts get banned (( if you commented on any of the subs that the stranger was on)

I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to "VERBOSE".
I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to "what is true in your line of work that you can't say". My answer was that non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that "men are the violent ones" when the reality is all people are violent, and there's a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for "advocating violence".
Incels are quite overly sensitive when it's a women talking about violence against women by men, they brigade and try troll people. Askedddit also banned me, for because the sub was asking something about an actor, and I was explaining how a Star Trek actor made the show about herself( Beverly crusher) people don't like how their holy trek role model was criticized
-
I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I'm sure) said that reporting abuse is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.
Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.
I believe I was warned once for that same comment, and banned on another account. I was saying the same thing violence in relationship are overwhelming men in every way. Sure there is done by women

Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There's a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won't solve.
Just avoid the political instances , especially ones of .ml

I’ve bumped into some of them. But I’d say there isn’t a bot infestation of fake users. Yet.
They are all concentrated on the tankie and conservative communitiesm

Thanks for the warning. Spaz buys tiktok and I delete it. Bout to already, honestly.

DNC started astroturfing heavy around 2015 and kept pushing. It's been an entire decade of slop on that hellsite
Dnc isn't on Reddit much, which is a separate issue the the GOP have successfully coopted all social media, thats why they are in power

I used to mod a million plus sub. How on earth could you do it without 3rd party tools? I am very happy here. It’s nice to be able to talk to real people again.
Now many of the major subs are concentrated to a less than 100 mods , which controls over 500+ subs.

Good. As shitty as they've been and as hostile as they've become to their own users, I'd live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they'll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.
Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they're too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don't see Spez being that smart.
Probably turn into Y/A answers before shuttling the site completely.

Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
-
Stating that later this year they're going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
-
That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
-
Their A.I. answers integration
-
Censoring users who mention 'eat the rich' and the name Luigi
-
No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub's status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate
...who'd have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?
Fuck you, Reddit
Full AI moderation is what killed it, it was liberally and indiscriminately banning people last month with the slightest indiscretions

They’ve banned all of the good people that made up the site. I used to do Secret Santa. For 10 years! And I had mothers thank me for making their kids holidays. And they banned me. Because I made a death joke about how old McConnell was. Dude looks like death walking. Prove me wrong.
I was a good user. Dark humor isn’t hurting anyone. Reddit will die. Just like every other popular site.
I contributed to Reddit for 4 years and I got banned supposedly for posting putting down a bull terrier that violently attacked a family member and their was a child in the family,
I have a suspicion that my negative political comments about what is happening in Government may have been the real reason
All my friends that were on Reddit have been banned they are all good people with views
No free speech on Reddit it will gradually die

This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.
That's where Russian trolls come in,

Lol I sold mine in January. I'm fucking Warren Buffet.

There may still be lawsuits, however. There are still many ways that he could lose a lot of what he gained.
I think you mean presidential pardons
-

Do you think people are buying it, though?
I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today? -
Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn't even make the list. Am I old now?
This and I already missed the old reddit when they banned porn from /all. API debacle was the last straw when I called quits.

Not to mention how many posts are made to get you to react viscerally, instead of engage with the community - things like AITA seem especially prone to this.
Politics is the most obvious, most of its run by AI
-
Wait until they figure out that reddit provides very little of value. The users are the ones who post content and keep the site alive.
Reddit sold its user data for AI training that is the sole purpose of why spez allowed the site
-
i wonder if reddit will eventually ragequit and restrict access to all content in there before trying to sell it off
They will paywall first or become like Facebook, require more and more about your personal identity, like face scans, IDs,,etc
