    They have TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE working at Reddit and Memmy for Lemmy is a superior product with how many people working on it?? 3?

    Spez is an impossibly incompetent Elon Musk wannabe (the person who just flushed $44 BILLION down the toilet due to incompetence). He needs to be drawn and quartered tbh

      Elon flushed 44B and made 96B just this half year.

      The game isn’t right somewhere.

      I wouldn’t say it’s a better product, but it is quicky moving in that direction.

      I’m so happy user funded and user controlled is a viable market strategy.

        Of course it doesn’t include moderators. Moderators are users.

          Also, there are way more than 2000, especially once you call all the very tiny subs that technically have moderators. But even if not, Reddit’s biggest treasure are all the niche subs.

        Reddit would implode instantly with only 2K moderators. According to this Reddit post, six years ago there were almost 75K moderators working in subreddits with more than 500 subscribers (i.e. this number only includes moderators who actually have to do some work because their subs are decently active). That number is certain to have grown since then.

      How much revenue do you think it would generate if streamed on ThreadsLive?!

      If you ask a computer engineer, they would say that’s what you get with and without a product/project manager.
