Do you think Reddit IPO is going to affect the fediverse? (fedit.pl)

One week is left to reddit IPO. Should we be prepared for increased discussion on the internet about social media and fediverse? It would be a good time for our instance promotion. Apparently WallStreetBets are preparing to short the reddit stock, they might be onto something. If they will be succesful I think fediverse will be mentioned.

On the other hand, I just went to WSB. Looks like they aren't really interested in fediverse. Almost no talk about it

"nothing will happen"

ehh there may be more people leaving for fediverse, but probably them doing something dumb after going public will push more people to the fediverse than simply the IPO offering

Like increasing number of ads. This will be slowly introduced though. Wonder how it turns out. FB has shit ton of ads yet people still don't leave it (or do they)
