Got one of those "we want you to buy reddit stock because you reddited really hard!" emails... on an account I haven't used for six years. When I did use it, I used it almost exclusively on a niche subreddit, too.
They're scraping the bottom of the barrel already 
This is in the dunk tank to dunk on me for once using reddit
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The IPO email reads like a fucking phishing scam: “we would like extend you an offer to get on the ground floor of an exciting investment opportunity! Please provide social security number in order to get in on this amazing stock!”
Can't wait for the inevitable leak, doxxing the handful of redditors that aren't bots.
I think it's because that's exactly what it is. A scam. You have an userbase that averages around having a disposable income. So you pretend to be giving them an early bird privilege when in reality there's seventeen thousand asterisks attached. No redditor is part of the inner circle of people getting the lion's share of this investment call. Banks pull this all the time, especially in e-finance.
