If you do not want to see Reddit crash and burn then why are you on a Reddit spin off site? The peoples view on Reddit, left and right, black and white, women and man, trans and straight. EVERYONE HATES REDDIT. It has become a symbol for the technocrat arrogance of Silicon Valley, it started as a company that allowed literally anything from child abuse to beheadings and whole bunch of other heinous shit, and they have been trying to sanitize the front page with bleach for years while sweeping all the problematic shit that doesn’t get noticed under the rug. Reddit is no different from any other social media website (besides lemmy, luv u lemmy). Today it’s Reddit going on the stock market, tomorrow it’s discord, how long until the people who idolize Patrick Bateman are trading in 4chan stock? Reddit can go two ways, it either can die a slow painful death like tumblr which is preferable because that would force people to migrate to new social media sites, or it can go like Twitter and become the mouthpiece of some asshole billionaire.
If anyone has any idea of how the internet could do some collective action to make Reddit eat shit please, share them. My idea is we should write to the advertisers and complain about the mods and try to get those two groups to fight each other, causing the site to implode.
Everyone betting it will go down can actually make it go up.
I still love the narrative the hedge fund tried to spin with the gamestop thing is "noooo internet trolls", when while that was a factor so is having a public legal contract stating you will pirchase a significant proportion of gamestop stock within a certain period.
Then we bet it goes up. Our desired outcome is Reddit dying. If we have to reverse psychology then we should use it.
