The time frame up to the IPO (I don’t know how that timing works) seems to be what is critical. Right now Reddit has been unprofitable. The CEO took on massive new levels of expenses via staffing with no real plan (or it didn’t work?) for how to pay for those expenses. This bad faith “negotiation” on API seems aimed at… I guess trading 3rd party utility and to some extent the community for the ability to sell data to AI industry?

I guess we will see but pick a time frame and none of it looks good for Reddit.

Yeah, leadership… I guess?

I have no idea what I am doing, I am going to copy that other person even though it seems obvious they are failing.

https://reddark.untone.uk This doesn’t seem too bad for a hastily arranged reaction to all of this. I know it is frustrating to not have immediate gratification, but demoralizing those who are staying strong is not helpful.

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

I agree for the most part and that the front page should be more focused on what the user will gain or be able to do if they join and in language that understand. However, the first sentence is “Follow communities anywhere in the world” not bad at least. It should elaborate on what that means.

Some people of course really do care about FOSS and letting people know that or even just having them see those words/ideas is important IMHO. It could, however, elaborate by saying “social media that is not corporate controlled” or whatever that may make the point about it more clear.
