I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes “[ Removed by Reddit ]” after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

    I reckon they are budgeting for a 1-2 week martial law period to try and stabilise and will probably force open all the closed subs and make use of repost and chatGPT bots to simulate decent engagement, possibly even paying for comments too.

    This is such a strange and surreal idea. Martial Law in the Internet. but I can see that actually happen.

      I wouldn’t put it past them in an attempt to protect their IPO. It’ll be exposed almost immediately, but it’s not like an idea being terrible has stopped spez before.

        AITA for wishing their IPO to be a complete failure ? Like, the stock dropping 90% on the first day ?

          NTA. They’ve tried to screw us all for money and if there’s any justice in the world they’re about to find out what made their site so attractive to investors the hard way. Fuck ‘em.

          /r/WallStreetBets will probably find a way to lay it to waste in the first ten minutes.

          feeling like an asshole for wishing corporate douchbags to fail is your capitalistic conditioning acting up. If their IPO makes reddit and their portfolio take a nosedive, then that’s on them. They took the risk, they can live with the consequences. Gosh, perhaps some of them will be forced to work a normal job again, like the rest of us
