    I just said this yesterday or two days ago when they announced they were going to start paying people for content, but it truly is amazing how Reddit can find another significant thing that will hurt them as a business and move forward with it.

    It seems like they’d run out of things that could significantly hurt their business, they just keep finding something else.

    Soon they’re going to be down to basic features, And they’ll be like hey look so hyperlinks don’t work anymore. And then that’ll be the end of the press release.

    Their “business decisions” are insane right now.

    It’s very difficult to see this procession of self-mutilation technologically in another light other than deliberate corporate suicide. Like is someone going to benefit if Reddit goes bankrupt? Is that what’s happening?

      Honestly, I’d be really happy with that. Be a good way to help pay for server/maintenance costs. I have no idea how it would be possible to make it work across instances.

          Maybe you’d use some other crypto, but that aside, while cool in theory, the whole Lemmy would probably have to be reworked from the ground up to rely on the blockchain you’re thinking of like Nostr (sorry, I don’t know what gave me the impression that it was a blockchain). It should be possible to add the function in the current architecture instead, a bit like Misskey and others add extras such as reactions
