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.

      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?

          Are you saying reports do not link to the actual reported comment and I have to manually add the reference link myself?

          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.

              I’m not sure on Kbin, but in Lemmy it’ll add a “report” entry with the following:

              • a link to the content being reported
              • who’s reporting it
              • an extremely short description on reason
              • [if solved] which mod/admin solved it

              It’s often simply not enough. In Reddit you’d handle more complex matters through modmail, it’s basically a DM “to the mod team”; Lemmy doesn’t have something like this yet, so my go-to approach would be to DM the head mod of the relevant comm.
