Can these assholes stop spamming me?

I don't give a shit about reddit's DP program.

The first two or three emails I was willing to ignore. But they keep sending these.

How desperate do you have to be?

Hey, glad we could find you here. Did you know that the Reddit Directed Share Program deadline is 5 March 2024?

jaybone@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 2y

Lol this would be funny as fuck if they started posting about their dick scam program here on Lemmy.

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 57 pts · 2y

Desperation is a great look for an IPO.

I reported it as spam.

jaybone@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Is this even legal?

Aside from the spam stuff, does the FTC allow this?

somethingsnappy@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y

Assuming you're in the US, everything is allowed, and an entity as benign as thr FTC can't stop that.

fluxion@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I think someone else did that and got banned for "report abuse". Absolutely bonkers.

xan1242@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 2y

I should've clarified I did that on my email provider lol

Eh, works either way.

pivot_root@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 2y

Not enough bag holders. Spez needs his golden Tesla signed by Elon, and he's still a few million suckers away.

I got a reminder email from them, stating that if you didn't want to join I needn't worry; this would be the last email they'd send about it.

They then sent a DM from u/reddit to my account, meaning I got another email about it.

Even something as simple as that they can't get right.

sysadmin420@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Fucking same I read the email when I received the dm and chuckled about it as the push notification came in.

arefx@lemmy.ml · 25 pts · 2y

They banned me for talking shit on nazis and still spend me spam trying to get me to their website they don't even want me on. And if I do click on it there's a big red banner telling me I'm not welcome. Crazy. Fuck reddit, and most it's users.

I got that email today too for one of my accounts. Oddly, its my old account that I retired long ago. The one I was still using up till the exodus last year, hasnt gotten a second email yet. Theyre really desperate for that cash money arent they?

I received one for a moderation bot I created

radicalautonomy@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

I logged into my old account, replied to the message, and told them to pack sand and that I hoped those WSB numpties short their stock into oblivion.

jol@discuss.tchncs.de · 12 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I got spammed bt e-mail in old reddit accounts i didn't evem remember having created. Some 6 accounts in total, long abandoned with barely any karma. They are extremely desperate.

SkyezOpen@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

They'd probably have better luck launching and rugging a crypto.

jol@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 pts · 2y

They did ride the NFT wave with NFT avatars. Doubt that was a profitable venture

marcos@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

They tried that one.

Did you and the other millions of users opt into receiving marketing emails from them when you signed up?

Let's starts a class action lawsuit.

Emerald@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That's a reddit inbox message, not an email

w2tpmf@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

They are also directly emailing people.

Monument@lemmy.sdf.org · 11 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I’d get a better ROI from selling my old account to spammers.

Hux@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I’d be open to that. Is there a market place?

sysadmin420@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

eBay

Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

Yikes! You’re right. People are selling accounts for roughly 50-100 €, which is much more than what I expected.

Logged into my porn alt that I barely use for anything ever

It had the original IPO and this message

How the fuck was my randomly generated username porn account that I modded one sub for and used for wracking off to titties enough of a power user to get that when I hadn't used it in like 8 months?

brax@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Lol I saw this too. Who the fuck would want to buy shares in Reddit these days? Who the fuck would buy shares in a failing product with a CEO hellbent on ruining it further?

Had this been 10 years ago, I might have fallen for it.

AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

The bootlickers and large companies ruining the platform for either profit anor because they're power hungry. Those are the people they expect to buy into their scam.

fidodo@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

They must know that investors have no confidence in their IPO so they're hoping their user base is dumb enough to inflate their price.

7u5k3n@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

I've gotten it via email and via dm

I've reported as spam in Gmail and blocked the user on old.reddit

Fuck them and their bags.

SpicyLizards@reddthat.com · 5 pts · 2y

I reckon closing your account or calling it out on a popular sub could have similar beneficial outcomes here

muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

How do i short this shit

snownyte@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

I just find it funny how Spez thinks his cesspool of a community is marketable enough to be treated as a serious stock exchange. Poorly moderated, asinine engagement, braindead repetition, ban-happy and devoid of this 'intellectualism' Reddit boasts about.

And I want Reddit to go public just to see how hard it'll fail.

Shialac@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

They started to send me this less than a day after the initial mail lmao

We need shareholders to make money on our negative revenue product.
