Always felt dirty on Reddit. Corporate garbage.

It's OK though, they offered their top moderators an offer to participate in the IPO and also sent them goodies and snacks, what more do you want ?

I think he is seriously devaluing someone giving those mods Reddit Gold

We must all as a nation, stop using Reddit, it's way too ban happy anyway

I got perma banned there a couple years ago for making someone upset.

Are you saying he's doing an excellent job on maximizing output?

Ok, serious question: were the moderators offered share options, or are they hoping that the company would eventually compensate them? Or is this discussion blanketed by an NDA?

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

No to all 3 questions afaik.

Yes, some of us got this email on Monday.
Pretty sure most old and/or active accounts received this regardless of being mods, though.

But reddit hasn't been profitable, right?

Elon Musk please do one good thing in your life and buy Reddit and run it into the ground.

Reddit already naturally lashes out at anything that threatens white male hegemony Twitter he actually had to rip down a bunch of guardrails to get it to the shitshow it is now.

Reddit is doing the work for free.

The moderators who run much of the site are not paid directly, but they're definitely in league.

Powermods took over reddit a long time ago. Hell, I'd go so far as to say reddit secretly promoted r/the_donald and other extremist subreddits, and had a direct hand in getting him elected.
