They could pay me now and I wouldn‘t to back, and if my habit to type re… into my browser doesn‘t go away soon I‘m gonna block it on my router for myself. A place I went to for 10+ years and all I feel now looking at it is disgust, well done spez!

Nice article though, didn‘t pull any punches.

It is similar to a coup but from the top, so it‘s more like "consolidating power" phase which dictatorships do go through. Dissenters get removed and replaced by willing servants until the platform is more spez and less "The People". Meanwhile he pretends like somehow the mods are the actual dictators or some shit to make all this palatable to those that still use Reddit, which in my cynical view they will eat up. Reddit is dead and done for anyone who values actual community over ads.

They‘re fine if anyone with some critical thought leaves and the only ones left behind are the master bootlickers who would eat a plate of shit as long as it got served by Reddit.

Could even be seen as an improvement to them considering that includes communities like r/piracy which the mere existence of could hurt their capitalist investors feelings.

Spez also apparently called the mods "landed gentry" which is hilarious coming from a rich fuck behaving like a king towards some people who work for him for free!

From my POV all we need to do is post and comment and create good communities. The people will come naturally if we do that.

Pathetic. How anyone can deal or invest with "businessmen" like Trump and Musk who mainly grift, steal, lie and don‘t even pay their debts—no clue!

So glad we have Lemmy now to talk about this stuff!

I found it on Reddit and seen it around, it‘s spreading. Might write some comments myself too, as long as I still have Apollo to do so; so far I am liking it here.

I read non-fiction on my phone at work or on the go and fiction mostly with physical books. I enjoy both and would have a hard time to decide if I could only have one.

Spez is running a kingdom and sometimes the king goes mad and does dumb shit to establish authority. This episode felt like that, especially with how they talked down to the dev about it being unoptimised or some crap.

When will companies finally understand that some people won‘t watch ads no matter what tricks they employ. I‘d rather watch no video at all than a single ad. If that is their goal, fine.

Of course they are. That is why I am here, Reddit in my eyes is done for either way and once it is on the stock market, it’ll only get worse.
