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

Reddit has very weak leadership in my opinion.
I wouldn't be betting on them, especially when their user base is going to want them to stand up for them and the Elon fiasco shows Spez won't.
It's a tinderbox before the next large Reddit protest happens again and more niche communities splinter off to the fediverse.
I think I linked to it before here months ago but Reddit won't let mods go dark without prior authorization. The mods basically gave up any means of meaningful protest outside of leaving by capitulating during the API revolt.

I mean why buy shares of reddit? What is it doing? It's alienating users.
Literally every single change reddit has done in the past few years has angered the user base, and the bot accounts increase day by day. Go to any niche subreddit, like one for a movie series, show, video game, etc. You will see a ton of "what's your opinion of X or Y?" And it's always such a weird choice of words, and it's clearly just a bot farming engagement to inflate numbers to shareholders.
I still use reddit, but I never post or comment. I strictly do that on one of my Lemmy accounts. And every few months, something will happen to make the experience worse. Like now, the frontpage "hot" sorting is broken. Just a bunch of zero up vote posts on weird subreddits I forgot I was subscribed to. Now I can't really get the news like I used to on reddit. It's broken, and there is tall that it's a result of Elon meeting with spez to talk about moderating the surge of Elon/Teslur hate.
Fuck reddit, more niche communities need to come over here, because I'm so tired of having to go through reddit to fine things I'm interested in.
It was going downhill since they got rid of the woman who was running AMA

Maybe it’s because they banned all of their users
Soon it’ll just be bots banning bots.

I'm gonna try to guess the most likely LLM response to your post, trained on reddit data:
"This."
How'd I do?
I think "LMAO" would also be a contender.

All I use reddit for is porn now, so the ads are really easy to spot. Like if I see someone trying to show me tupperware when I was just looking at goth girls and femboys, I know to keep scrolling.
Reddit Revanced my brother.
Search for Update me app in F-Droid.
No ads and disable all the other unnecessary functions.

Sync for Lemmy feels just like Reddit is Fun (RiF). So good
I used to use RiF and loved Sync for Lemmy too. I just wish the developer would fix the bug for posts showing unread! It's completely stopped me from using the app for something like 6 months now.

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.
It's always been ridiculous to me that what is essentially a forum has shareholders. That's why I left Reddit during the app debacle and haven't looked back.

You're right
it's time for me to post the weird porn
Thank you for your service.

I was still lurking there but not so long ago it just died. The subs I was looking at stopped updating. There was no point going back.

I was offered a chance to buy into reddit's IPO. I knew it was a bad idea and I'm glad i didn't
Yeah, they messaged all my accounts asking if I wanted to buy in. I actually considered it for an instant, then thought nah, fuck that.

Reddit banned me for saying mean things about Elon and I'm not going back. Good riddance.

Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.

Far too many bots on reddit. Half the time I wasn't sure if I was talking to a real person.

MySpace will make a comeback.

What do you mean my that? Like, your own posts or those of others?
Not sure I'm seeing that on my side. Could be wrong tho

Firefox with ublock works too. I've never seen a reddit ad in my life, even on mobile.

Good ol’ boy-on-bot action.

Same. I'm not sure Lemmy is any better tho. I know, I'm a hypocrite.

Meh, fuck Reddit.
