For some reason, Spaz thinks he's Musk. It's funny that Spaz is destroying reddit the same way Mush destroyed twitter, well... not funny "ha ha", but funny 'odd'.
How stupid must they be?
Well in the reddit case there's a payoff and then one gets to walk away from the sinking ship. They just need to get things pumped up for the IPO and then who cares what happens from there. It's time to cash out and it becomes someone else's problem to deal with.
This IPO is the only thing that going to give them anything remotely near Musk money and it's not going to anywhere near at much where one can crash and burn another social media site for the hell of it...
Which I don't get, all they have done for months(years really) is make the site less attractive to users, and therefore less attractive to investors. They did all the shitty stuff you do to maintain piece of shit shareholders BEFORE THEY HAD THE SHAREHOLDERS!
It's like those recent news about netflix rising prices and preventing password share. They don't care about users' experience, or if 10% of the userbase will leave, as long as the revenue increases.
They probably have to show revenue
And that's why it's so awesome that Reddit users got together and did a protest that dumped the valuation of Reddit stock just as Spez was trying to sell it
This is their way of destroying global communication. We the people were organising using their sites. That obviously couldn't happen so they threw the toys out of the pram and its worked. There is less of a global forum with reddit and twitter fkd.
Damn. I never thought about it like that. You're right, but at the same time I see Lemmy way more focused on important matters we should pay attention to. With actual discussion within, not just bullshit bots slinging nonsense to steer the conversations. Granted lemmy def leans a certain way depending on where you are but it's mostly what the majority is already thinking. They may have fucked themselves in that aspect. Driving us to be more centralized with less noise to interfere. Idk, but good point.
That's gonna backfire because now we have alternatives that aren't owned by companies that can be coerced by any two bit dictatorship with profits. They're driving people right to.the fediverse with is way worse for them
umm... this "we the people" shit needs to come to a halt. Your "we" doesn't include "me", so the "we" part is overreach.
"You A Person" I can buy - but "we" ain't "we" pal.
If it's a group organisation without any restriction to entry then it is the common person's voice. Do you not think that together we can work towards a better tomorrow?
It's the common person's voice with access to that medium.
