Fellow Reddit refuge LOL. Actually, I have been moving my “corp” social accounts slowly over to the fediverse for a bit now and it was time for Lemmy/Reddit.

This is the third server that I have created an account on. The other two are having so much trouble keeping up with the influx of users they are being overloaded all the time it is usable.

Anyways, I am an admin of the Mastodon server AllThingsTech and love everything tech, especially Apple. I am looking forward giving Lemmy.world a run.

    Public trading is (financial) slavery, companies going public have no choice, they must please stakeholders first and foremost, and that’s usually in hard contrast with making their customers/users happy.

    I can understand the business side of it (I’m an employee of a publicly traded company) but I don’t want to be part of Reddit becoming one, that’s why I too joined here.

      I understand the business side as well. Just hurts to see that they don’t fight for users and negotiate with those stakeholder to understand.

        Oh I agree it hurts, but stakeholders only understand money unfortunately, they don’t even understand the business they’re investing into most of the times, or they don’t care as long as it brings money.
