at this point Elon should buy it too, drive it to ground like Twitter.

So I work in advertising for a company that is top 20 on the Fortune 500. We advertise everywhere including Reddit.

The returns on Reddit isn't even very good. We still spend money there as a pure name recognition play.

As of now, for the company I work for, it's not working.

Good, hopefully spez will get what's coming to him. He really ran the site into the ground.

Maybe it’s because they banned all of their users

I mean. Elon Musk is exerting control of the platform too. Do you really want THAT shit in your cereal?

Got banned over there a month ago, came here hoping to find something of a Sonic community in the same vein as the one over there (very involved in that fanbase, did a lot of my discussion on reddit), has not materialized yet, not enough fans over here, hopefully that changes at some point. I thought at first that it was the open support of Luigi's alleged actions that got me banned, I could be ok with that, I get it, supporting violence and whatnot, I broke the rules, and they were sensible rules more or less, but the longer I look at the current happenings over there, the more suspicious I am that it was because his name came up at ALL, multiple times. That's annoying. That feels less justified.

Also becoming more and more glad it happened when it did. Lot of overt, fascist appeasing censorship going on over there. Like it's not even subtle. There's no ambiguity in it, it's just "this post criticized or disparaged Musk or Trump in some way. (Removed from Reddit)."

Eat shit Spaz. Fuck you.

They’re permabanning everyomangionene who says anything good about Luigi Mangione, who is literally the greatest hero of the year in America, if not the decade. What did they think was going to happen?

Reddit has very weak leadership in my opinion.

I wouldn't be betting on them, especially when their user base is going to want them to stand up for them and the Elon fiasco shows Spez won't.

It's a tinderbox before the next large Reddit protest happens again and more niche communities splinter off to the fediverse.

I see the fall of big social media into fascism as a big problem, despite the fact that it makes them less popular. The nazis are actively destroying spaces for communication of opposing opinions. They don't mind the medias are harmed by that. The important thing is that what remains becomes a fascist echo chamber. Most normal people won't be able to find alternatives like lemmy, so it makes the numbers of people with opposing views who are able to communicate smaller with every fall of a medium, social or other.

All I use reddit for is porn now, so the ads are really easy to spot. Like if I see someone trying to show me tupperware when I was just looking at goth girls and femboys, I know to keep scrolling.

Let's pick a day and everyone short it

And my Reddit account is now gone, I nuked it.

~Ha~

Ha

HA.
