Spez on Christian (Apollo dev)

His “joke” is the least of our issues. His behavior and communications with us has been all over the place—saying one thing to us while saying something completely different externally; recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.

Spez is a fucking joke

Spez comes off as a narcissistic little pissbaby. Blaming the apps/devs that made Reddit what it is, rather than actually looking at ways to make the site better for everyone.

You can pretty much feel the anger from each of his replies, he's getting shit on and can't handle it. What an absolute clown

He then answered a question on the Apollo dev situation and my god, he just dug the hole deeper. He has no idea the public perception of him and reddit at the moment, and then he continues to slander the Apollo dev with no facts or anything to back up that Apollo dev did anything wrong.

For NBA fans, he's got some real Steve Kerr energy there too, more concerned about the recording of the call than anything else, like when the video of Draymond punching Poole came out.

It's an AMABIWAA (Ask Me Anything, But I Won't Answer Anything)

This is making our switch to Lemmy feel quite justified, isn't it? Although even if Reddit was still in good shape I think the potential of a decentralized platform is much better. I probably would have migrated here whether this shitstorm happened or not.

Man, I'm gonna miss reddit, but Lemmy seems pretty awesome so far.

You can tell that he is absolutely furious at the attention that Apollo has gotten.

If he has any lawyers or a wife or anyone who has any investment in reddit getting an IPO they should tackle him and take the keyboard away.

Good lord, he's got a steam shovel and is gonna break into the mantle from the hole he's digging.

I mentioned lemmy and got shadowbanned

This guy is such a weasel, holy shit. He comes off as incredibly bitter.

10 mins in, one answer which has -119 score...

wow, there are >13000 comments and /u/spez has made 12, all very brief. He didn't even have any canned answers ready.

And to be fair the other admins linked in the top post have about 6 comments between them.

So glad I deleted my account yesterday.

"We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable."

Almost understandable but did they really think this was the way to put it?

He just answered a question about their accessibility issues with basically "oh we're working on it". Come the fuck on dude that shit needed to be in place before you did all this and to be frank reddit's got a history of lying about that stuff too.

Almost 20 minutes in, and he's written 3 responses, each about a paragraph.

I'm guessing it's not going well.

even worse than I expected, somehow

Anyone noticing slowdowns and timeouts? Overloaded? Or slowing access?

I'm shocked spez gave redreader a shout out as still trying to work with them.

That's an other dev (quantumbadger) I would expect to be honest with his community. He'd been pretty vocal in earlier updates that he wasn't going to be able to pay them at any price since his app is FOSS and distributed as source.

Curious what his next update will say.

I love it when idiots stab themselves in the face and set themselves on fire!
