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

I will speculate this is going to happen anyway, sooner or later.
While I am not American, I have lived in the the US and have many close friends there. From my understanding, American oligarchs have gone full in on a proto-fascist state (US is not yet fascist in the formal definition of the term, thing can and likely will get worse). This includes Hoffman and not only.

Yes it is. We are already at the dictatorial stage in practice with the legislature and SCOTUS complying voluntarily by not enacting checks and balances. Everything else, like the nationalism, demonizing groups, and the rest are in full swing. Don't need death camps to be fascist, although we are well on our way down that road.
What criteria isn't being met yet in your opinion?

Feels that way to me. I wasn't there like at the very beginning, but was able to be in a few small subreddits turn big. Some turned to shit, some turned okay. Lemmy/mbin a.k.a. threadiverse seems like it was before my time I started with reddit
Lemmy, Mbin, and now PieFed!

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.
Where is the LV426 community?

This would actually be a great outcome.
While most people would likely move to Digg v2.0 (I am just being realistic), this will help fuel growth in the threadiverse. And at any rate, the major instances would simply not be able to handle 1 million MAUs immediately moving to Lemmy.
Meh. I joined Reddit in the original great Digg exodus, I'm not going back.

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 bought a single share when the ipo happened figuring it would be funny. Meant to sell when it was at 200 and forgot. Just checked. Still funny, sucks I missed out on $100 but I figure it’s going to keep going down. I’ll keep my one share. Reminds me to look.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.
Same for me using Boost on Android. It looks like Reddit only without the bots and AI slop.

I mostly contribute here, mostly.

There is also a PWA version for those looking to try it out, and I believe it’s on F-Droid as well.

They 7-day banned me for 'encouraging violence' for saying I didn't think Mangione deserved to go to jail for what he did. I appealed it and it was lifted, but not before it was upgraded to a permanent ban for ban-evasion on other accounts (I've never had more than one account in my 14 years of reddit.) The perma-ban was lifted on appeal too, but by that point I was just like fuuuuck off.

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.
I don't think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.
She married a hotel heir, she's still doing fine.

ಠ_ಠ gross
Yes this was worse in my mind than getting the sane for reporting a sub that sold CSAM because at least that involved research and critical thinking (why would a post be a scan of a print photograph taken with an analogue camera of a handwritten list of porn mags? answer: they were all legally produced at the time CSAM)

Yeah that’s cool and good. Same with Epstein.
Except he didn't live long enough to rat anyone out. That's the only downside to that story.

Thanks. I’m in!

Huffman needs exactly 0 help to run reddit into the ground. He's been doin' it for years.
It's actually kinda nice that he's not going full nose-dive straight into the ground. Getting a steady stream of users is better for Lemmy's culture, than a full exodus event, imo. It gives us a chance to not be reddit, but something better.

Reddit refuge here.
I do miss all the niche subreddits. As the saying goes, “there’s a subreddit for everything.”
But I think with time, Lemmy can grow to fill that gap.
Yeah I've been on Lemmy maybe 2 years or so now? I find myself going back for the subreddits of my interest. But I will try to start posting here more.
Ultimately I believe in the fediverse despite all of its growing pains.
It'll take awhile to grow those niche communities.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That's 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.
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.

lol maybe because they’re really overtly censoring stuff and it’s getting so obvious even investors realize that it’s killing itself?

Oh no! Anyways, what's everyone's Friday plans?
Teaching my friend's kids about Linux and python, and watching a movie with them afterwards. Probably have a brewski or two.
