Reddit's first public year shows growth,
but Wall Street's still not happy
User numbers fall short, triggering investor sell-off
Reddit's first year as a public company delivered solid
results by most earnings metrics, but try telling that to Wall
Street: Falling short on one key growth target sent shares
tumbling despite an otherwise upbeat year-end report.…

I was not impressed with Reddit with their wacky forum
moderation.

Fuck Reddit! From what I've seen it's full of idiots and people
getting triggered [or pretending to get triggered] over
everything. I'll stick with Usenet.
Any social media sites that include 'likes' and 'upvotes' will
always attract the simple minded to its community with people
who post stuff just be be liked and the flakies judge their
popularity on numbers.

Agreed. Despite the trolling and the spam, Usenet is still
completely uncensored. There are some newsreaders that are
excellent for recognizing and eliminating spam, but nothing is
deleted for political or social sensibilities. Some of the
worst anti-Semitism can be found on the Jewish groups, the
nastiest racists on any group that might be of interest to
people of color like myself. You may not like what some say
but at least you have the right to listen or ignore, not have
someone else (perhaps with a agenda) make that choice for you
People do [generally] respect other people's points of views
here... and rightly so, as we are all different. I don't use a
newsreader that scores posts either, as I find since Google
Groups disconnected it's Usenet access, the spam - on the groups
that get it - is manageable. So yeah, Usenet wins when it comes
to social media!
