They also can't afford any bad press right now. They already pushed back the IPO by months due to the fall out from killing 3rd party apps so it'd be a really stupid move to ban WSB now. The time to do it was nine months ago when it wouldn't have mattered because they were already up to their necks in bad press. It's not like they haven't been aware that WSB's would try to fuck with their IPO this whole time.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It's extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

The article in the reddit post you shared is misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he got roughly $792,000 in performance-based bonuses. The rest of that 193 million is options.

Yeah, I saw that article too but it's misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez's current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It's not the reason reddit isn't profitable.

lol reddit's automated AEO is already notoriously dogshit, trying to replace human moderation with AI would be a fucking disaster. So I say do it spez. I double dare you!

Traitors, the lot of ‘em.

Oh awesome, glad to hear it’s already in the works! I do hope it gets prioritized though. User privacy and security is important.

Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment.

How about the ability to disable PMs entirely? (With exceptions for local instance admins)

I can assure you, there will never be a scenario where I welcome an unsolicited PM from another user.

and scale back investment in its Mozilla.social Mastodon instance.

Well shit, I guess I’m never getting off that waitlist. Of all the services being effected by this news the mastodon instance is a relatively minor loss but I was really hoping it’d work out and thrive in a similar manner to Vivaldi’s instance.

Yeah, being able to use Lemmy from Mastodon is great in theory but it's terrible in practice. I've been using Mastodon since 2019 but wouldn't waste my time trying to use Lemmy with that account. The experience just sucks for mastodon users and lemmy users alike. Fortunately, I've somehow managed to figure out how to juggle two separate accounts lol.

Tornetta also turned up in videos drumming at the legendary former New York club CBGB with his now-defunct metal band "Dawn of Correction", which described its sound as "a swift kick to the face with a steel-toed work boot."

"I was in a band for seven years. It was a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us. Or they thought we were okay. A lot of bands have intense names, like "Rigor Mortis" or "Mortuary". We weren't that intense—we called ourselves "Injured". Later on we changed it to "Acapella" when we were walking out of the pawn shop." - Mitch Hedberg
