Investors have upvoted Reddit in droves.

Reddit stock is slated to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday after the IPO priced at $34 a share — at the top of its expected initial price range — as investors showed enthusiasm for a social media company that has ambitious expansion plans but has never been profitable.

Valued at around $6.4 billion, Reddit is trading under the ticker symbol RDDT. The IPO is being viewed as a test of investor appetite for a social media company in an era where artificial intelligence is all the rage in the technology industry.

    They’ve been doing this for the last couple of days. Seems like maybe a Nazi and/or racist troll? That’s the vibe I’m getting from the graphics. They’ll be back if yesterday was any indication.

Hopefully one good thing though, it would be nice if something like this spurs a developer to set up a community-driven pool of auto-blocks for the fediverse.
