IPO = Initial Public Offering, where shareholders offer to sell their shares to the public, shifting a company from a “private company” (it belongs to me, you, and that guy) to a “public company” (it belongs to anyone who pays enough for the shares).
The userbase has been always touchy when it comes to IPO, and rightfully so; they know that the new owners will only care about squeezing the platform dry. As such, I predict a new flood of Redditfugees to Lemmy and Kbin.
Interesting, any link to that bot analysis?
Same, really interested in that data

What makes you think we expect any data? It was just a kind request if you had any lying around, if not that’s perfectly reasonable. No reason to get dickish about it.

sure buddy, it’s the beginning of a bad faith argument and gaslighting, suree… If it helps you sleep better we can all pretend that’s what it is and not just some random people genuinely interested in that data.

[Speaking as a mod]
You don’t have data, you were sharing an anecdote, that’s 100% fine. But chill on the passive aggression.

If you see trolling behaviour in this community, please report it, either through the report button or through DM. With evidences that the user is trolling (that’s important).
Don’t try to solve it through aggressions, passive or active, as they encourage other users to behave the same, and make the community less fun for everyone. OK?

I’m not saying so. I offered DMs as an option because issues are often complex and depend on multiple instances of behaviour, while the report button will refer to a single piece of content and that’s it.
