Reddit might once again be flirting with an IPO (techcrunch.com)

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.

I joined here yesterday; figured I’d give this thing a try. So far I’m really liking the overall experience with Memmy in my phone.

The whole thing isn’t as active as Reddit, obviously. But the overall experience is quite nice. So uh, if Reddit bans a bunch of cool users, that’d be fine with me :D
