lmao. Reddit had $456,000,000 in revenue in 2021. It would've been profitable long ago, except it's CEO spent millions and millions of dollars on buying and shittifying an app for it, chasing reddit NFTs and reddit crypto, creating a 'new' user interface that every user loathes, creating a streaming platform that died within a year, deciding to pay large infrastructure and bandwidth costs by changing to self-host videos and images after a couple decades of successfully out-sourcing that to other platforms, destroying AMAs, happily platforming and aggressively resisting de-platforming child porn, white nationalists, insurrectionists and other questionable groups, aggressively alienating the people who were happily creating and running the forums, creating new 'games' to be run for one single day, and a whole bunch of other stupid or questionable shit.

Huffman's been happily cruising away on infinite VC money for, what, eight years now? And he woke up one day six months ago to realize that he'd paid tens of millions of dollars for multiple incredibly rich companies to mass-harvest one of reddit's two prize assets, and he fucking panicked. Man has no vision beyond whatever shiny new techbro ponzi scheme is currently popular, except he gets on them too late and in ways that won't work, and he has absolutely no business trying to run a business - he just lucked into it and he knows that no one will ever hire him to run one again so now he's desperately trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear so that he can IPO and cash out before he gets (rightfully) fired.

So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don't see reddit having to give out much money here.

Responded!

Have you noticed an increase in Lemmy usage since the Reddit migration?

This probably needs an option for "not applicable". If someone came in with the migration, it's hard for them to compare with the Before Times that they weren't here for. (I had to choose 'not sure'.)

Answering questions you didn't ask:

1. Did I move from reddit exclusively to Lemmy? No; I'm getting some of my tech needs from ycombinator, meme content from imgur, and I'm also on tildes.

2. How does your frequency and type of interaction (post, comment, read) on Lemmy compare to your time on reddit? I'm slightly less active on Lemmy than I was on reddit, mostly because some effort is sucked onto yc, imgur and tildes. Anecdotally, I know some people who are less active here because they're finding less content to interact with; as well as people who are much more active here, because the communities aren't overrun with bots, trolls, shills, and other people acting in bad faith.

I'm willing to answer as well. The grad student should really just post this on AskLemmy.

The guy who got rid of all the controls that limited hate speech, and who invited back a whole bunch of people who got kicked off previously for hate speech, is all shocked-pikachu at the surge of hate speech following his actions.

There are also other Internet caches out there that you can use. And I don't have a personal grudge with Google, so ...

You can do that search and then read Google's cached version to avoid giving them any traffic at all.

Hunh. I had no idea they'd saved the actual moth - that's interesting!

Their policy was that if the new arrival time is within 3 hours of the old one, it is not their problem.

I can see them now: "So, if we change OP's flight to the one we intend to put them on, according to company policy, we're liable. But if we do it incrementally, in multiple installments but changing it by less than three hours each time, we're fine!"

I don't speak German and I don't watch anime, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Your best bet would probably be German tracker; if it doesn't have the content, they can likely direct you to where it is.

The other option would be to join a tracker that specializes in movies, but they tend to be somewhat difficult to get into; I would be hopeful that German trackers are easier.
