The time frame up to the IPO (I don’t know how that timing works) seems to be what is critical. Right now Reddit has been unprofitable. The CEO took on massive new levels of expenses via staffing with no real plan (or it didn’t work?) for how to pay for those expenses. This bad faith “negotiation” on API seems aimed at… I guess trading 3rd party utility and to some extent the community for the ability to sell data to AI industry?

I guess we will see but pick a time frame and none of it looks good for Reddit.

Yeah, leadership… I guess?

I have no idea what I am doing, I am going to copy that other person even though it seems obvious they are failing.

It is almost like we can’t trust a for-profit owned social media site to have our interests as their first priority. I don’t know what this CEO is doing but it’s hard to see a bright future for Reddit in any case. Its too bad for the community but it is really too bad for those working there.

I am not sure why people link to twitch instead of the source. https://reddark.untone.uk

I agree for the most part and that the front page should be more focused on what the user will gain or be able to do if they join and in language that understand. However, the first sentence is “Follow communities anywhere in the world” not bad at least. It should elaborate on what that means.

Some people of course really do care about FOSS and letting people know that or even just having them see those words/ideas is important IMHO. It could, however, elaborate by saying “social media that is not corporate controlled” or whatever that may make the point about it more clear.
