  • I wouldn’t call this a smoking gun; further down the thread on Bluesky, they say that they took this story to several reporters and none of them wanted to use it as a story, by their own admission because they didn’t really have much to prove a half remembered conversation.

    All that said, none of it would surprise me if it was true and I remember it being speculated on at the time. I think it’s way more likely that one of Trump’s cronies would have exerted that pressure on reddit rather than Trump himself, just because reddit never seemed to hold a candle to Twitter for him.

    Sorry, I’m not sure how to answer “how is measuring your credit worthiness based on your income a good way to determine how much to lend you.” I would think it’s pretty obvious that your capacity to repay a loan is dependent on your current income, not how many loans and credit cards you’ve had active in the past.
