once they go public they'll finally be able to pay their enormous workforce of moderators. that's gotta be the reason they're raising money, right? to reward the people who have created all the value in the first place?

This is the perfect time for Reddit as it is the one platform that can fill the gaping hole left by Twitter. I revisited the app after several years of not using it, and I’m highly impressed at not only the realtime nature of the comments, but the respectfulness and intelligence of the commenters. Hopefully this IPO will remind everyone to give it a try and make it a role model for the others.

with google search, the power is in the user's hands! you can either search for the reddit comments directly, or don't and read the AI article results amalgamated from reddit comments instead

maybe fyad could replace that filth about a gay man struggling to kill himself because he can't stop felating his gun barrel with a 4th elon thread? it's called punching up.

there's a lot they could learn from gbs, that's for sure.

i like that idea, but could we also post a lot of racist tweets from random nobodies that we (just happen to, i swear it's not intentional) find? you know, to raise awareness.
