This is hilarious tbh. Please don’t get me wrong, I really feel for the mods who put so much time and energy into the sub (all subs for that matter). It sucks.

But god, watching reddit implode feels so fucking good. Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron, and it’s nice to see his web site fall from grace so publicly.

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

I can't wait to see their IPO fail dismally, at least I hope so.

Is he really abrasive? I haven't seen him say anything outside of what I'd expect an exec of a company to say.

Is he really a moron? Dude is walking away with a lot of zeros in his bank account. From what I can tell, it sounds like he's pretty happy with the outcome.

I'm not supporting him, but assuming he makes money from it, it would be childish to call him "dumb".

is he really abrasive?

Spez is a liar, a cheat and a habitual editor of comments that insult him. He’s also incredibly petty and rude.

is he really a moron?

He hired 2,000 employees to run a site like Reddit, has effectively destroyed the website’s image and the ongoing protests have revealed to people why it’s such a shitty investment.

His riches are all luck, not brains; he can’t even sell one of the most visited sites in the world without gutting it first.

Let's not forget that Daddy Elon is his biggest hero and Reddit could become a shit show like Twitter.

God I’m so tired of seeing people equate being rich with not being a fucking moron.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Right-wing brainrot, the rich have to be successful, otherwise why were they licking those boots?

Right.

People aren't smart because they stumbled into a handful of zeros. Everyone blows Musk but he was just born into blood diamond money. He didn't actually do anything. Neither did Spez, he just makes money off other people's content.

Strip all these CEOs of their extra zeros, strip them of their user generated content, then ask them to rebuild their wealth by actually providing a good or service and watch them flop.

This is why their moderators' best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it'll go to hell fast. It's their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren't.

[-] ATiredPhilosopher@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Sadly people are quite dedicated to doing work for free for some reason

[-] DigitalPortkey@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Well, it's not a huge mystery or anything...people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.

From the outside looking in, I can see it being "working for free", but by that measure wouldn't any instance of you contributing anything that benefits others to be "working for free"?

Half of the tech support knowledge I have comes from people "working for free".

I think the sad part about Reddit is that there's still a lot of people that want to hold on to what they've built up, and Reddit is banking on that to force them to change.

His replies to negative feedback is either "deal with it xoxoxo" or "you're right but I don't really care lol".

Something tells me it ain't gonna work.

It's like when they replace a character with a worse version in a show.

lol Reddit’s death has finally started. Can’t wait to see spez’s asswipe shills bring the whole thing down with their incompetence.

EDIT: I went through the subredditdrama post, and looking at some of the comments made me glad I’m leaving that place.

So he scabs as a total noob first time mod, AND his whole plan is rely on bots that won't work in a few days and require govt id to mail someone some chips?

Fucking lulz

Shoutout to the mod who just bailed immediately 😂

[-] RedditReject@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I used to love that sub. Not that I ever actually exchanged snacks, but I thought it was cool that random people would just get together and mail snacks from one side of the world to another.

I think those are called death throes.

death throes noun : the violent movements and noises that are sometimes made during passing.

[-] lypticdna@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago

It frustrated me when Reddit made the initial decision to screw over app developers. Having done dev work in the past, I know the time that goes in to them so someone asking for a little money in return is the least we can do. But no, Reddit just say "Screw you guys"!

As if that was not enough, they are now showing that they really don't care about the many moderators that have painstakingly put years of 'free' time in to building these communities, the same communities that are the foundation of Reddit!

I am sure we are going to see a lot more of these admin takeovers in the coming weeks and it is the very reason I am over here and why Lemmy is seeing the incredible growth curve. Long may that continue.

Services like Stripe allow people in over 100 countries to match face to government-issued-ID to prove their identity (at a cost of about $1.50 per verification).

AHAHAHAHAHAHA Are you for real right now?

I just deleted my account. Welp that's 15 years gone. Feels good. Tastes like chicken.

Just let it burn down at this point. Shorting this stock is going to be easy easy money

Sounds exactly like the behaviour of a company headed towards an IPO. Keep that dumpster fire burning!

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Oof. I read a decent amount of comments, definitely getting shill/snitch/power seeking vibes, add to that the admins...what a shit show

In 3 days when third party apps die it's going to be so fucking funny lmao. Lemmy is gonna explode.

Insult to injury. What a smug usurping little scab.

Does the snack exchange now include gifs of popcorn?

[-] D3F4U1T_ARS@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn, this subreddit will surely meet it's demise

Having no mod is better than having a bad one
