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.

Gee, that's too bad. It would be a real shame if that piece of human garbage Steve Huffman lost everything. A crying shame.

I can’t even think of a time in history where someone was a huge piece of shit in America and “lost everything.” Maybe R Kelley, P Diddy, and Bill Cosby? But only for the time they spent in whatever rich guy jail they got to go to and then they were fine.

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.

And that just goes to show:

The only time rich people are held accountable in the US, is when they fuck with other rich people's money.

Sadly I'm sure he already has a golden parachute prepared.

They all cashed out after the IPO. They're probably laughing at the bag holders right now.

Good, Reddit has no place in the stock market and no amount of enshittification can save them from this fate.

Hey fam, I’m another Reddit refugee. I heard Lemmy is what Reddit was back in the day. Sad to see Reddit go to hell.

It's always been ridiculous to me that what is essentially a forum has shareholders. That's why I left Reddit during the app debacle and haven't looked back.

Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.

Good. I got banned just today for "inciting violence" then when I asked what I did they couldn't tell me. Musk pressuring spez into harsher moderation is probably part of why I was actually banned. I followed every rule but was active in left wing communities and it seems that's enough to be deplatformed under the trump regime.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yea the generic "site wide ban message doesnt even tell you what the violation was" i think it gives reddit arbitrary and vague reasoning to ban you.

[–] carrion0409@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I really hope the company burns. It became everything it used to make fun of since Spez took over.

[–] lydon_feen@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Holy shit, me too.

They said I threatened violence because in a thread about Putin potentially being sick, I said I wished he had a painful slow death.

Apparently even bloodthirsty dictators get to have their poor feelings protected by Reddit.

Fuck Reddit! I'm just gonna abandon that shit platform

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

you got brigaded by pro-russian bots, and yes russian backed trolls do mass report people too.

I had two main accounts. My oldest account got permabanned for a joke about Nick Fuentes. After his address got doxxed and he pepper sprayed a woman who rang his doorbell back in December of last year, I said "hey as an incel he should be happy that the ladies know where he lives now so they can share a cocktail with him", and I added a cartoon gif of a Molotov. It was obviously a joke, but they said it was "promoting/glorifying violence". I ate the bullet on that one because they were technically right, even if they were a bunch of humorless twats.

My other account got banned about a month ago when I up voted a comment that was just a picture of Luigi Luigi (the Nintendo character) smoking a cigarette. Again for "promoting/glorifying violence".

Elon Musk is a weak little crybaby and Steve Huffman is a pathetic coward.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

sounds like you were part of the ban waves going on. there was one around the election, another around DEC mid, we noticed because reddit was extremely quiet of all propaganda for like a day or 2.
