Surely can’t be good for a potential IPO
I honestly kind of can't wait for the IPO, I just want to see what happens
They'll ban porn and put the final nail in the coffin. No one there cares what happens to reddit as long as they get a fat payday. They'll move on to the next big business venture where they can ruin something else in the name of getting money.
I wonder what of investor looks at reddit and thinks that banning porn will increase user engagement or any other meaningful metric.
But we have to get Presbyterian soccer moms in Peoria to join the platform!
Microsoft is just as bad or worse than Reddit.
I'll say. The kings of proprietary code grifting, but they sure want YOU to share all your code on GH, which they own (so that corporations can rip and run with it).
yes, this is why I post poorly written, unoptimized code to github. no other reasons...
uh, no further questions goodbye!
Time to advertise GitLab.
That's a bit of a billboard statement. Why do you say that?
Either way, Microsoft's reputation aside, they're large enough to make an impact with a decision as this one.
They literally invented the EEE strategy that reddit is copying.
This looks to be the beginning of a trend to pull out of Reddit, and I am excited to watch it crash and burn.
lemmy.world/c/minecraft is growing steadily and we are currently negotiating with mods from the subreddit to get them onboard if they desire to learn and migrate to Lemmy. One already joined our moderation team.
I don't expect official accounts to come here anytime soon, we simply do not have the reach or public awareness necessary to make it a viable channel. However, we are slowly building the rapport and structure necessary to accommodate CS representatives, developers and similar persons in the future.
Oh god imagine an official Minecraft shout-out directing people to Lemmy.world...
Eternal September of 9 year olds..
Don't delude yourself: This is just a convenient excuse for them to do this.
Having to maintain an active community outside of their control is an inherited burden from purchasing a former indie company.
Yeah this feels pretty significant to me. I'm interested to see if any other big corps move their PR teams away from Reddit.
Wtf based Minecraft? Gotta go buy another copy now…
The Minecraft that implemented microtransactions into the Bedrock Edition?
The Minecraft that forced everyone to move over to Microsoft accounts?
The Minecraft that implemented broken chat reporting that had to be fixed by the community?
The Minecraft that can now ban you from multiplayer altogether, even if you run your own server?
The Minecraft that shut down and DMCA'd a 18+ only but non-explicit bondage server and mod?
