TWeaK

Maybe, however there's every chance he could be out before then. At which point the golden parachute will activate. Meanwhile, reddit will throw all the shade on him yet change nothing in the course of action.

However he very well could maintain shares in the company after leaving, which of course means he would benefit from the IPO.

I don't think Occam's razor would reach that conclusion when you look at all the different services that are in decline. There's no one person tying them all together. At least, no one that is publicly known.

Peter Thiel comes close for Twitter - he financed Trump, along with a few sinister businesses, and he tried (and failed) to make a Twitter competitor. Thus it makes sense that he'd tap in his old business partner Elon Musk to remove Twitter from the equation (make no mistake, Twitter isn't dying because of Musk's mismanagement, it's dying because of a leveraged buyout saddling it with $13bn of debt). However that doesn't really cover any other service, such as reddit, Discord, or whatever else.

Regardless, we, the people, are being dispersed and our ability to organise suppressed.

Wait did sh.itjust.works do anything? I thought the story was that beehaw.org cut them and lemmy.world off, but only for people browsing on beehaw.

Make an account in another instance, there are lots of them.

I think they were using the open sign ups to join and then harass people, a lot of which were in other instances, in particular beehaw.org. Now beehaw has defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world.

/ban!

The longer you've had a license, the cheaper your insurance is.

Even delivering on it might not be enough, if you just end up with separate businesses all owned by Alphabet Co.

After paedophile Steve Huffman has been caught lying so many times, why should anyone believe a word he says?

Honestly I kind of wonder if this is all some kind of coordinated power grab to crack down on public spaces in the build up to 2024 elections.

They won't necessarily show in the tabs, I only had 2 gilded comments that were missed and shown in the gilded tabs. The rest of the remaining comments were just loose on reddit, and there were a lot of those. Mostly 1 karma comments, but for me comments with 50 karma or less. The main ones I noticed were replies down below old top comments I had made. I opened them before I ran PDS and after completion I refreshed, the top comment was gone but the little replies were still there.

Even after running PDS, you should still be able to do a GDPR request to see what's left, so long as you can convince them you're in the right jurisdiction (maybe a VPN would work).

Even as a visibility vote it's somewhat flawed. If you downvote everything that's wrong, then many people will miss out on corrections to commonly held misconceptions.
