First: Reddit’s S-1 Filing landed today.
TechCrunch Article: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/22/reddit-files-to-go-public-at-last/ Filing Link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1713445/000162828024006294/reddits-1q423.htm
Second: Reddit send out DMs to a subset of users announcing their filing and inviting them to participate in a DSP. Here are some screenshots of that message:
Third: Reportedly, Google has tapped into Reddit as a data hub for person to person interaction.
There has also been some interesting reporting of hidden ‘community score’ metrics which are attached to user accounts being discussed. Here’s one comment linking to several discussions.
To the last link about the contributor quality score:
"The CQS use different criteria, such as:
Past actions taken on a user’s account or content (within a given time frame) on the account in question as well as on alt accounts
Network and location signals
Steps a user has taken to secure their account (e.g. email verification)"

If you make a post on that subreddit you will get an automod message telling you what your score is.
Thanks for the update Chives. None of this surprises me while I sit and watch reddit continue to circle the same drain as other platforms that deserve to be paid no attention or given any trust or benefit of the doubt.
I overwrote all my posts with that automated thing and they put them back and sent me a dm about it.
I meed to try again.
The deal with Gargle has been in place a long time. Ifa user triesto access the site with any other briwser, a pop up suggests the app or chrome.
But of course our elected officials came from the era of hand crank wooden phones on the wall and asking for an operator, so I might have to start a tech company myself with all these no rules and regs in the way. Cmon in and help yourselves to our citizen’s data.
I got an email. I reported it as spam.
