Well, alright 😃

One word: regulation

As an AI model, I cannot answer duplicate questions. Please check this completely unrelated question instead.

All of this is just noise designed to keep us talking about the site. You could call it bad advertising. We should stop feeding the troll.

Huffman says the blackout hasn’t had “significant revenue impact”

So two-day revenue change is his preferred metric? If I were a Reddit investor, I wouldn't want this guy as a CEO...

Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it's just a matter of time though 😕

I don't buy on Amazon anymore. Not only to they treat their employees like crap, but also it's harder and harder to find quality stuff on their platform. Fake reviews are a huge problem.

I don't understand why they keep targeting art. Wouldn't smashing car windows (for example!) make more sense?

So this is the "moderate republican". Good to know...

This site has a graph that shows how many subs are private: https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

I find it a good way to see how the situation is evolving as a whole.

Mod heavy people always talk about this supposedly huge influx of trolls, toxicity, spam that they have to moderate, but I just don't see it. I'm not sure that I have seen even a single post that obviously needed to be moderated this week. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right communities?

Making predictions this far into the future when we have the huge global warming crisis looming ahead doesn't seem very wise. The arguments put forward in the article reinforce this initial impression. They don't seem to have thought very hard.

Who cares. Do we really want people who buy into this sort of stuff here?

It isn't. I don't care what happens to reddit. I want to move on, so the only thing that matters (to me) is the success of alternative communities such as lemmy.

Essayons de créer une communauté sympa ici plutôt que de cracher sur les autres.

A very simple example: advertising makes you aware of brands. Just knowing that a brand exists might be enough to influence your decision in the future. Think about it: are you more likely to choose the brand you heard about, or the brand you don't even know exists?

Impact on revenue could take months, if not years, to materialize. Most redditors will probably stick around for the time being, but if content posters / moderators leave the ship, the site will eventually die.

If I were him, I'd be looking at account deletions (especially from mods), number of new posts/comments, etc.

It's the best language for debating religion, there is no question :)

Has anyone created replacements for the major Beehaw communities yet?
