Comment on Current state of Reddit
asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 11 months agoVery good pointing! I am not a lawyer but isn’t this something that is technically illegal? Or perhaps not, do donations need to be truthful in plain terms of how the funds are used ?
The only way I can see donating to reddit could be argued as helping/supporting contrubiters by having the platform and audience available.

I think in 2023 parlance the claim is probably plain enough to be “truthful”.
It’s pretty well established that receiving gold on reddit is perks like… a gold star or something, rather than actual real gold.
