!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
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.
That’s it.
Questions 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.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
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.

In terms of data privacy it would become a nightmare.
However I think Zuck would be a massive improvement over spez in terms of strategy, diplomacy, PR rizz and general chill. And this is not a very high bar.
True! Thanks for contributing!

Don’t wanna be a grammar nazi, but seeing {if} and {would} in the same sentence is just painful, even tho I’m not a native English speaker. And I’m sure this rule applies to a vast majority of languages around the world.
To answer your question, Reddit is already going public and is getting an IPO later this year, so I don’t think it would be drastically different from now, except we’d see the Meta logo everywhere.
Thanks for the answer.
I also didn’t know there was a rule against this. Cheers!
Asking “what would happen if…” is an acceptable structure for the hypothetical.
Sure, totally agree. But in this case you’re placing « would » before « if », which is not the case in OP’s title.
I don’t think its really a very strong rule tbh, if it is one. I’m a native english speaker and I hear people say if before would all the time.
In the sentence in question, “were to” would probably work better, but mainly as would had already been used earlier, and it feels clunky repeating it.
“If you would do x for me, that’d be great.” Good example of an if before a would.
Same thing as the current race to the profit at the bottom of the septic tank that meta, twitter, and reddit are in now.
I think it would be good for Lemmy and the fediverse
