Source? All the ones I can find say they’re still losing money. 800M in revenue but 940M in expenses for 2023. marketwatch.com/…/reddits-ipo-raises-questions-ab…
- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 10 months ago:
The fediverse just needs time to grow. It’s still a very new thing. Growth will take a long time, but it needs to be an alternative to corporate social media, not integrated with malicious actors.
It will be more difficult and damaging to defederate later when Meta starts throwing its weight around, because people will become accustomed to a much larger amount of content. It’s best to never federate with them, even if that means costing growth opportunities in the short term.

Knowingly manipulating people into suicide is already a crime and people have already been found guilty of doing it. So the answer is obviously yes. If you knowingly encourage a vulnerable person to commit suicide, you can and should be held accountable for manslaughter.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
The article is about lawsuits. Where are you getting this idea that anyone suggested criminalizing people? Stop putting words in other people’s mouths. The most that’s been suggested in this thread is regulating social media algorithms, my locking people up.
Drop the melodrama and paranoia. It’s getting difficult to take you seriously when you keep making shit up about other people’s positions.

Literally no one suggested that end users should be arrested for jokes on the internet. Fuck off with your attempts at trying to distract from the real issue.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
I agree, but I want to clarify. It’s not about making this material harder to access. It’s about not deliberately serving that material to people who weren’t looking it up in the first place in order to get more clicks.
There’s a huge difference between a user looking up extreme content on purpose and social media serving extreme content to unsuspecting people because the company knows it will upset them.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
There’s nothing ambiguous about this. Give me a break. We’re demanding that social media companies stop deliberately driving negativity and extremism to get clicks and target emotionally vulnerable people. This has fuck all to do with free speech. What they’re doing isn’t “free speech”, it’s mass manipulation, and it’s very deliberate.
It’s incredibly ironic that you’re accusing people of an effort to control expression when that’s literally what social media has been doing since the beginning.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
Bullshit. There’s no slippery slope here. You act like these social media companies just stumbled onto algorithms. They didn’t, they designed these intentionally to drive engagement up.
Demanding that they change their algorithms to stop intentionally driving negativity and extremism isn’t dystopian at all, and it’s very frustrating that you think it is. If you choose to do nothing about this issue I promise you we’ll be living in a fascist nation within 10 years, and it won’t be an accident.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
Reddit is the same thing. They intentionally enable and cultivate hostility and bullying there to drive up engagement.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 10 months ago:
I don’t think you understand the issue. This wasn’t an accident. These social media companies deliberately feed you the most upsetting and disturbing material they can. They’re intentionally radicalizing people to make money from engagement.
They’re absolutely responsible for what they’ve done, and it isn’t “by proxy”, it’s extremely direct and deliberate. It’s long past time that courts held them liable. What they’re doing is criminal.
- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 10 months ago:
The issue is that Meta’s intention is to extinguish the fediverse, not to add to it. I can’t believe people are still falling for this tactic.
- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 10 months ago:
I don’t get these people. They knowingly chose to work for Meta after everything that company’s done. You don’t get to pretend you’re the good guy anymore.

Yeah because lemmy world never circlejerksv about anything. Meanwhile you’re literally in one now.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 10 months ago:
Lemmy.world will happily destroy lemmy as a whole if the only other choice is allying with leftists. That’s what liberal “centrists” always do when push comes to shove.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 10 months ago:
Lmao. Welcome to lemmy.world, where anyone left of center or why mildly criticizes the instance is a Russian bot or a secret hexbear user. Y’all have no clue how ridiculous you sound. The whole instance is like a giant /r/politics circle jerk
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 10 months ago:
So what? It’s no different from lemmy.world where the vast majority of users pay Palestinians lip service but get buttmad at the suggestion of holding the US government accountable for funding Israel, only because the man in office is their guy.
Most of you are gigantic hypocrites on the topic of genocide.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 10 months ago:
Being polite about politics never won shit for anyone.

Pretty damn rich coming from lemmy.world where you ban people for criticizing Biden
All you dummies do when you ban and defederate is push more and more people into extremist communities.

Says the guy who just believes whatever bullshit climate deniers make up. Imagine being so ignorant that you’re not aware we stopped using CFCs decades ago and that’s why there’s no hole in the ozone layer anymore. Fucking moron.

It’s not supposed to block everything. Neither does brave.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware gets installed using 1-day exploits 11 months ago:
I’m sorry but as much as I hate Windows, the only updates that take this long are feature updates that happen twice a year. The vast majority of windows updates take less than a minute for me and don’t require a restart. Even the ones that do finish in under 5 mins

Bombardier is 75% owned by Airbus now. There are hardly any competitors left, even small ones
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Yes you do. SAP is gigantic. You just don’t hear about it because they’ve infected every business instead of being a consumer-oriented brand.
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 11 months ago:
Firefox and chromium both outperform Safari in performance tests. It’s Safari that’s the third rate browser. No one would use that shit if it wasn’t forced on them.
There’s a reason Apple stopped making it for other platforms. Safari can’t compete without Apple kneecapping the competition.
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 11 months ago:
Oh give me a break with this nonsense. Android has an 80% global market share. It also “just works” and very frequently works better than iOS.
Safari is a shit tier browser when it comes to web standards and performance. It’s so annoying how Apple fans need to dunk on everyone else to justify blowing $1000 on a phone
