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.

I was still lurking there but not so long ago it just died. The subs I was looking at stopped updating. There was no point going back.

cant be all those ban waves can it? feb 12-13th was the start of a massive account purging from the site,a nd you wonder why the engagment fell, leaving russian troll farms mostly intact, plus MUSK constant brigading on the site. remember MUSK is chronically ONLINE because hes on cocaine and ketamine.

by NOV-FEB there were already 3 ban waves, and the luigi+upvote bans was the 5th.

I left when I couldn't use the word "idiot" because it was a trigger word.

Sure Jan.

Community oriented websites have no growth potential once you've mined the community.

Of course Reddit is just doing a lot of things to sink community engagement so this is just par the course.

Forget about growth. Forget investors. Forget about all those capitalist nonsense. What good are profits if everything goes to shit? The best thing about Lemmy is that it doesn't give a shit about that. It's decentralized and community driven. Capitalism prioritizes money not people.

Huh, maybe if reddit wasn't overly restrictive to free speech they'd get more actively engaged users. Oh well, I guess they'll have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I know this article blames reliance on google and stagnant ads for this, but I can't help but think restricting speech and shutting down discussions also plays a role. Front page of the internet my ass.
