Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears
Reddit is inviting some users to participate in its IPO this week, but moderators told CNBC that they're not taking the company up on its offer.

All it takes is people going elsewhere and they are worth nothing. Reddit isn’t like Twitter, where it’s all about you. I came here, have the same conversations, and haven’t even noticed I’m not on Reddit any longer.
I used to be pretty big into Reddit. I haven't been back in almost a year except a couple of google search results. I do notice a difference though. There is less diversity in expressed thoughts here. I don't miss the doomscrolling though, I can run out of new content here and I like that.
Also because there is less content its more meaningful. There's a lot of fluff and garbage on Reddit just so people can get karma.
Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don't mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it's a nice reminder I've probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.
I have, I've noticed. I've noticed that I'm no longer screaming out in a sea of people and being ignored or ridiculed. We're in a smaller pond here and the waters are much clearer
I used a great apk on reddit before reddit fucked it over with the api call fiasco. That's when I moved to lemmy and found an apk called Thunder that is extremely similar. So right now the only real difference for me is the much lower user base, so there's less "niche" subs/instances. Of course, that will also go away so long as people keep migrating over.
That's it, it's just the userbase size. I still unfortunately have to type 'Reddit' after any question I throw at a search engine but that is on the useless search engines and not indicative of Reddit being a great platform.
I first used Reddit over ten years ago. It was SO much better before the Digg implosion, and Lemmy reminds me of Reddit pre-digg days. Quality over quantity.
