Got me this morning

Not sure if you use that feature but does it work like an indexer and allow direct downloads of “Linux isos”?

I think when I tried them out a while back they also had a usenet search? Can anyone clarify on this?

Came to the comments to find this question lol

Can anyone with knowledge on business explain why these companies keep going public other than the simple fact of money?

I feel like everytime a company does they go full throttle into making shareholders money and lose sight of their original company. Honestly I assumed discord was already public based on some of their monetary features that are overpriced lol.

I disagree. I hate the decisions they make and personally, along with you, I think it’s idiotic.

But while I hate on them, they will get away with it. Theyre not stupid. The decisions don’t align with its users but it will still work.

Look at netflix raising prices for arguably worse content. Working for them.

Reddit; Charging for the API essentially killing almost all 3rd party apps. Not sure the effect but reddit doesn’t seem to really be hurting. Users want to move but reddit is just too good. I even still use it because the user content on there is amazing. I try to ask all my questions/have discussions on lemmy, but I’m one person. Reddit has infinity more always contributing. I think the management sucks, but the platform just isn’t fully rivaled yet so they can keep milking their audience.
