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.

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

    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.

      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

        Idek wtf i said lmaoo. Atleast you got told you were deplatformed for daring to disagree with the regime. I just got shown the door. This place seems much nicer though.

          Well, I had enough of this bullshit, and together with news that Reddit’s CEO was pressured by Musk of all people to curb dissent, I just deleted my accounts.

          Bye Reddit.

          I’m 100% a Lemmee guy now

    Good. As shitty as they’ve been and as hostile as they’ve become to their own users, I’d live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they’ll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.

    Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they’re too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don’t see Spez being that smart.

      All the people that ruined the site will get a nice golden parachute. The C suite doesn’t give a shit what the company actually does. They are there to make sure the important investors get a return on investment and that is it.

    I left Reddit today. I’m not looking back. I’m absolutely done with these organizations that bow to fascist whimsy and demands. Pathetic stuff from Steve and the admins at Reddit. I hope their stock tanks and they lose their ass.

        Apparently Elon Musk pressured them into Banning people, and they just went along with it which tells you everything you need to know

        Everything he does basically invites people to say mean stuff about him.

        Perhaps he could just stop doing those things? Thinking out loud here,

        Same reason I left. Why hang around to get yelled at by bots about “living in a liberal Reddit echo chamber” WHILE the entire site is sucking fascist dick the entire time?

        I remember when I got banned for saying that hey maybe it isn’t hate speech to say that Israel shouldn’t murder children.

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