The IPO is going to be a disaster on its own. Then when r/wallstreetbets starts goofin' around with it, it's over. Corporate social media is not the future. Hopefully people move here steadily. I created a community, something I never did on reddit.

MODERATORS
One of the primary reasons Reddit cited for its API rule changes was LLMs profiting off its data for free.
Its data? Seems to me that most of that "data" was actually generated by users. Which Reddit, in turn, profited off for free.
Moderators simultaneously make reddit better and worse... mostly worse, though.
A lot worse. Was tired of the [removed] trope whenever mods did something incredibly stupid.
"Could hurt its business"
Apparently we didn't do much. I'm just happy to be on Lemmy so I don't have to care.
Lol yeah, tired of people coming over here, lurking (not posting or commenting), and complaining there isn't much content to consume.
Huh? Those are two vastly different groups. You can't not comment or post AND complain about it. Those who complain are those who comment and/or post. Those who lurk either don't interact at all or upvote/downvote only.
They lurk and then they complain if that makes sense. They only seem to do it if asked what they think about Lemmy though so at least it's not everywhere. Usually people who were banned from Reddit and linger around her till it runs up or people trying it for the first time and disappointed no one is talking about movies or something so they can't just get involved in a vibrant conversation.
I encourage them to get involved too, post what ever they like, to leave a comment nomater how insignificant it might seem. I get no response what so ever from them. I even make the point that reddit was this small at one point but it was the community that grew it.
What sucks is that on most social media platforms about 10% of users make the content that draws people in. The rest are typically lurking and contributing little to platform growth but are still important to platform monetization. Not important to Lemmy but still.
Reverse psychology Uno card attempt to get any remaining mod or community they don't control to out themselves as a risk and be ousted, imo.
Fuck yeah, fuck its business. Fuck reddit for going IPO and Fuck spez for being an insufferable gaping asshole
Besides having their community migrate to Lemmy, the thing moderators can do that impacts reddit the most is making their sub NSFW, because
-
Reddit gets no ad revenue from NSFW subs, and
-
NSFW subs will be excluded from their $60m/year AI training deal.
I imagine if mods changed subs to NSFW for actually non-NSFW subs that those mods will be replaced with bootlickers with boots so far up their ass they can taste them.
This actually happened. Mods werde forced to turn back to SFW or they would have been removed
And some mods stuck to their guns and were removed and replaced by bootlickers.
