IPOs are typically a cash grab. Stock is offered for purchase at a price, and usually there’s a bump in price. The first investors will sell for a profit at peak price, and then it will drop to whatever value the market decides. And that could be higher or lower than the initial price per share.

I wish you would comment. Contributors in the sub aren’t following the rules very well. I contributed pretty often, however I’ve slacked off since the beginning of October. The Israel/Palestine conflict has really taken over my feed (as well as some Trek and Star Wars memes). Yet with the Middle East news it’s been difficult posting for some reason. My activity has been diminished severely.

Well this sounds profitable for Reddit.

At least they received an email. I had a post removed from one subreddit without notification, and only because it poked a little fun at the subreddit’s topic. Overall it was positive, but for one moderator, I assume it got under their skin.

Don’t know how many other posts may have been treated the same. Don’t seem to get that here though.

Since moving to kbin.social from Reddit I have been 10 times more active in posting because I want the platform to be successful and engaging. It’s been a very refreshing change, but it only works if you participate.

I don’t know; I don’t go on Reddit any longer.

That said, r/worldnews was very pro-Ukraine. It could be that subreddit the Russians are referring to as well.

Putin might find some old Soviet Era Roubles underneath his grandmother’s floorboards. It might be worth more than current Roubles.

Reddit may have won…

Now let’s outline how they really lost in the rest of the article.

I use Firefox on mobile to access currently; I’ll switch over to Artemis after kbin.social instance is available. With Firefox I do experience logout from time to time, however I have my password and username autosaved, so login is as simple as a click.

It’s not really annoying at all, and quite frankly it’s much better then enriching that Reddit asshat.

I was initially put off by the UI of Lemmy that I encountered when I first went to the Lemmy site. I was a little confused as to which instance to join. That’s when I stumbled upon kbin.social and that’s where I landed my new account. Overall I am most comfortable here.

Since joining, I’ve encountered Lemmy posts that take me to their instances proper, and the formatting looked different, more like here just with a different colored background. Overall, Lemmy instances seem okay, I just like it here better.

Maybe it’s the overall familiarity with the instance, calling main topic pages “magazines,” the microblogging option, etc. Lemmy’s resemblance is a little closer to Reddit, so that might account for why people decided to go there instead of a kbin instance.

Here’s the current status…

What a stark difference between last year and this year. Last year there was the outpouring of support for Ukraine. This year it will be a “fuck u/spez” shit show.

Oh, absolutely this is the case. Reddit could even run bot accounts to gain a lion’s share of points for any particular sub they want to control, thereby stifling any sort of protest or activism authorized by sub vote.

I will give you 2 shiba inu coins (worth $0.00001574).

The article comments are linked to Reddit, if you click on “Replies” it routes you to the topic on Reddit where there are posts about leaving the platform.

Put anything to a vote
Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.

Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries.

This will end well…

EDIT

What they’re really looking for are a bunch of whales to drive engagement.

There are like 2.7 million reviews. At a rating of 4.8 it would take tens of thousands to reduce that by just a tenth of a point even if they rated it as a 1.

(50+ awards right now, but who’s counting?)

Apparently you are, Reddit.

LED and face mask manufacturers have conspired to improve sales of both appliance lighting, and sleepwear.

No regerts…not even one letter.

Seriously, I deleted my posts and comments by my cake day (June 26th), and deleted my account on June 29th. Good riddance.
