News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Robinhood went public at around $38 a share, climbed its first couple weeks to over $55, then dropped like a rock to like $8 a share. Also look into Beyond Meats.

A lot of big name recognition companies have this happen to them during bull markets. There's an initial run up, followed by a massive over correction and things don't stabilize for at least 6 months after the drop off. As well as reddit is known, it's going to be a hard rug pull.

Same for Rivian. Its IPO was at $78 per share, it climbed up to $130 and it's at around $10 now.

Ugh, don't remind me. I lost my ass on them

Be in the market a while and everyone's lost their ass on a thing or two. You slowly and painfully learn to take the L and bail out of stuff sooner. That helps.

Then sometimes things are just completely out of your control and something happens to a company overnight and you just get obliterated before you/ your broker is able to do anything about it.
