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.

    You and him seem really confused to expect any actual data out of an anecdote, but you do you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      [Speaking as a mod]
      You don’t have data, you were sharing an anecdote, that’s 100% fine. But chill on the passive aggression.

          If you see trolling behaviour in this community, please report it, either through the report button or through DM. With evidences that the user is trolling (that’s important).

          Don’t try to solve it through aggressions, passive or active, as they encourage other users to behave the same, and make the community less fun for everyone. OK?
