Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

Granted. Stakeholders fire him because they think he doesn't moderate the platform enough. A new guy is put in his place whose new team insta bans anyone who speaks out of line. What's the line you can't cross? Anything that goes against Reddit's current sponsors and advertisers.

Spez starts a new social media site that federates with Lemmy. A bunch of old Reddit users flock to that new site, making it the most popular fedi instance. It has all the problems of Reddit and more, and it starts to heavily pollute other instances. Spez pays off Lemmy admins who want to defenderate, ruining this place forever.
