coming from a disinformation campaign

It wouldn't be surprising:

You don't like tankies??? Well what about _______

EVERY time

Hopefully your vetting process weeds out infiltrators from Exploding Heads and Lemmygrad. The last thing Beehaw needs is to have "criticizing Russia's government in any way" or "criticizing China's government in any way" to quietly become criteria of Not Nice behavior.

Now now, he did brag about how he thinks reddit could "definitely influence elections" and then immediately tried to smother it when people started to comment on r/The_Donald's role in the 2016 election. It takes truly bold leadership skills to brazenly lie about your own conduct, especially when it's on public record.

I hope they bring him in using the exact some methods they would use for a homeless black man.

Good monetization: giving people tote bags, pens, t-shirts, stickers, coffee mugs, or window clings "in exchange for a donation" like PBS does.
Bad monetization: selling the ability to downvote posts, selling avatars, selling the ability to have your post stickied, and all the other ways shitty forums sell prestige

That's reddit's auto-generated username format. Most bots use those.

That, and also they'll continue running their own bots to upvate the repost bots to make it look like there's lots of engagement right up until the very instant that somebody else is holding the bag.

I wouldn't be surprised if reddit's own employees short the company once it goes public.

It's become increasingly clear that Steve and his cronies are desperately trying to get Reddit to its IPO with value intact so they can cash out and leave someone else holding the bag. As I've said elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if he and others end up shorting Reddit.

More to the point, you get a lot of people who are just barely above the threshold of tech illiteracy who think reddit is an app and don't get the concept of a website having an API that multiple apps can access. There needs to be a better term for Eternal September.

Even if Reddit fires Steve, goes nonprofit, brings back the old algorithm, open-sources everything, unconditionally repudiates everything that led to the Aimee Challenor fiasco, rolls back every single change they scapegoated Ellen Pao for, yanks the choke chain on the powermod cabal, gets rid of New Reddit, allows apps to access their API for free forever, and permanently removes the ability to shadowban users...

...it'll still be full of arrogant, elitist pricks that intentionally misinterpret everything you say to try and get a le epic mic drop wholesome keanu chungus moment. I don't want to go back to that.

no choice

I'm definitely going to play it on PC when it comes out. I'm considering paying for it.

Pro tip: if you're doing a line break, you need to add two spaces at the end of the previous line if you want the next one to actually break.
It makes it look like this.

Or you can press enter twice, which looks like this.

And yeah, if they breathe, they lie. That's the commonality between Steve and his cronies.

They're lying. Fish swim, birds fly, sun shines, Reddit lies.

Steve has very little agency over business decisions at this point, he's more of a quasi-independent mouthpiece for his investors.

Let's not forget the time Spez untracably edited a user's comment, only admitted it after being caught, and then joked about it. If he breathes, he lies.

Based

It's a huge shame. Sync was the last non-FOSS app I still used, it was UST too good to give up. Reddit didn't deserve it.

Can I pay you in the self-assessed cash value of my foot pic NFTs?

luckily, a left-wing subreddit got in touch with us about moving (pre-boom, even) and we think their community on Reddit fit the ethos of the site pretty well, so we've helped move them over here

Which one?
