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.

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.

Is the report function different on Lemmy? Ob Kbin I get a form field where I can add additional information. A DM typically invites someone to potentially respond, which I'm really not looking for.

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.

Kbin does not fetch & show the moderators of other instances yet and just shows ernest (Kbin admin) as owner & moderator. I personally wouldn't do it anyway but maybe something to keep in mind when interacting with other Kbin users.
