    They kicked myself and my entire mod team from r/Canning because we held a vote and our users asked us to shut the community down in protest of their 3rd party app policies.

    Then recently they emailed and messaged me telling me I could get in on the ground floor of buying shares.

    That’s going to be a big resounding “no” from me there u/spez.

      They emailed me too. Guess I was a power user, because I wasn’t a mod!

      I ignored it. It’s especially egregious because I’m Canadian, and I think it’s for Americans only.

      Since they killed third-party apps, I think I’ve gotten more emails from them than the number of times I’ve signed in. Haven’t even posted a single comment since RIF died.

        Canadian here as well, and no — we can’t participate. Not that it hasn’t stopped them from contacting me several times anyway.

        Unfortunately, even if this IPO crashes and burns the real villains in this story are going to make it out with millions in their pockets.
