I skimmed through it, it’s actually a decent article.

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

Very true, and that’s why I’m more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.

I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.

Interesting, thanks

Well done @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech !

Also constant growth for !movies@lemm.ee and !yurop@lemm.ee

Lemmy’s code isn’t that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

Nice tutorial

Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it’s good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.

Good luck with this!

Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn’t the case.

Well done!

Your instance is still in 18.5

True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)

Interesting, Snapdragon or Exynos?

Sad to hear. I don’t read news community, that’s why I didn’t see it

Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn’t notice anything special.

The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

• Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
• Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
• OnePlus aren’t what they used to be

That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

Very interesting, thanks!

I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we’ll see how it goes.

Is that you? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4422

ft.com Reddit chooses New York Stock Exchange for long-stalled IPO Hannah Murphy, Nicholas Megaw ~3 minutes

Social media platform Reddit has picked the New York Stock Exchange as the venue for its long-delayed stock market debut, according to two people familiar with the plans, a victory for the exchange in its long-running listings battle with rival Nasdaq.

The decision, ahead of an initial public offering that could take place as soon as next month, will be taken as the latest encouraging sign of life in the US IPO market after two years of limited activity.

San Francisco-based Reddit first lodged a confidential filing for an IPO with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in late 2021, but held off going public as tech stocks fell in the face of tough macroeconomic conditions and an advertising slump.

It would be the most high-profile tech group to list on Intercontinental Exchange’s NYSE since the height of the IPO market boom in 2020-21. Advertising software group Klaviyo was the only large software listing on NYSE last year, as Nasdaq lured chip designer Arm and delivery group Instacart.

Nasdaq has historically dominated the market for tech listings in particular, though NYSE has previously won large companies such as Uber and Spotify. Nasdaq’s dominance in tech has helped it pull ahead of its rival as the most popular venue for listings more broadly in recent years.

Reddit, once known as a bastion of free speech and criticised by experts for its light-touch approach to moderation, has sought to develop its advertising offering and better police the more controversial corners of its forums to satisfy marketers.

One person close to the company said it is aiming to achieve an initial valuation of at least $5bn when it goes public. It was valued at $10bn in its most recent private fundraising in 2021, but private company valuations tumbled in the past two years as interest rates increased.

The US IPO market has had a shaky start to the new year. Fundraising volumes have risen, with about $3.5bn raised compared to just $500mn in the same period in 2023, according to Dealogic, but the two largest deals — sportswear maker Amer Sports and healthcare group BrightSpring — both struggled to build investor interest and priced below their target ranges.

NYSE and Reddit declined to comment.
