Reddit plans to reserve shares for its big users in IPO, WSJ reports
(www.reuters.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Lemmy is too quiet though, I block and sometimes tag but I genuinely see the same people in these threads every day, I wouldn't be long being alone in the platform.
Lemmy should have shined when the API kicked in, but we had a number of users being shouty ass hats that probably helped to drive users away. Fortunately they seem to have quieten down since for one reason or another, but Lemmy adoption doesn't seem to have increased again yet - maybe one day.
Ultimately the super loud leftists were super annoying. I'm not saying their message or stance was good/bad or anything, I'm just saying that most folks don't come to places like Lemmy or Reddit to talk political theory. Those lemmygrad hexbear types can't get through a post about a bump on a log without talking about politics and social theory.
Conservatives would get the same opinion from me but they are far fewer here, so I have no notes on them.
For what's it worth, I'm glad the shouty ones were leftists because otherwise I wouldn't even give lemmy a chance.
