  • “Lockup” is an investment term. When a company has an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is the day they become publically available for stock trades), the big shareholders and company employees who are invested ahead of the IPO are “locked” from selling their shares for a certain number of days. This isn’t required, but most companies having an IPO end up having a lockup period set as well.

    In regards to this headline, it just means that the initial investors and big shareholders are now free to sell their shares, which they are apparently doing in droves!




  • Every day the same thing ad nausea. Fascism bad. Sexism bad. Phobia bad. Musk bad. Orange man bad. Inflation bad. Boomers bad. Cats good. Name my rescue dog. Celebrity good. Celebrity dead.

    That’s not just Reddit. That’s the entire Internet right now. Reddit or Lemmy, X or Mastodon, Facebook or anything else on the Fediverse. It’s all the same. We are living in a time of mass fear because of several different reasons. War, climate, economy, personal rights… pick whatever topic you want. There’s a reason to be angry about it.

    We need to go back to the days of happy people sharing their passions, rather than angry people attacking each other. But that won’t happen anytime soon.







  • Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

    There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn’t really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.
