That’s the struggle at first, getting a deluge of users that keep people both entertained, AND posting content.
Unfortunately I don’t think we’ve reached that number of users yet and it throws us into a vicious cycle of losing users who were also posters.
I’m not sure how to grow it on our end, other than continuing to contribute to the communities, but I do know that if Reddit keeps following Elon’s business decisions, they may end up losing many users as well.
It helped me figure out how to find things on the Internet that interest me.
I’ve actually gotten an ex-boyfriend and a free dentist appointment out of Reddit, but it was because I was part of small niche groups that helped me connect with them.
It’s something I hope as Lemmy grows, it’ll bring those smaller niche groups with them as well. Otherwise, it’s one less resource I have available.
LMAO it’s hard when he does so much stupid shit
Things to note:
The company, which makes most of its money from advertising, has struggled to draw new ad commitments under Musk’s ownership in part because brands are concerned about Musk’s approach to content moderation. The advertising industry is also in a slump, and several media companies have begun offering brands discounts.
So it seems like the discounting is an industry wide thing
X also warned advertisers that beginning Aug. 7, brands’ accounts will lose their verification—a gold check mark that indicates their account truly represents their brand—if they haven’t spent at least $1,000 on ads in the previous 30 days or $6,000 on ads in the previous 180 days, according to the email.
And the trusted method of giving advertisers ultimatums for your dying platform lol
Exactly what I needed, thank you lol
Probably hasn’t had a chance to fuck up publicly, hopefully he pays attention to the news and doesn’t want to be unpopular
