What an absolute joke. Just let people work from home, you absolute dinosaurs.

What a disgusting article. I wonder how much spez paid for it, or if the author (apparently a 'longtime Redditor') had his account threatened. That, or maybe he's just so used to corporate bootlicking that his first response to seeing a distressed billionaire was to start lapping at his soles.

Also, this puff piece reeks of arrogance. We fucking made that website what it was, and now this pathetic weasel thinks he no longer needs us? And there's dumbasses on Reddit who defend this shit???

This is gonna happen to every subreddit eventually. What remains to be seen is how long things last before subreddits start imploding.

Most people just wanna doom-scroll, they have no interest in having conversations.

Poor Christian, going through all that shit just because spez is jealous about him having a better product.

That could just be Google’s algorithm predicting what you would most likely search for.

r/Nintendo is still down too, which means even Mario’s had enough of spez and his bullshit.

And this right here is what separates Lemmy from voat: active community moderation that works to limit the reach of hateful bigots. While I’m a big proponent of free speech myself, I do agree that many kinds of ‘speech’ aren’t the most conductive thing for building a welcoming platform; especially one that caters to many vulnerable groups.

This move also highlights the core strength of a decentralized platform, by the way: while people who no longer want to engage with this content can stay safe, nobody was deplatformed! We achieved a clean break without banning or ‘silencing’ anybody.

So, good job on responsibly using the defed hammer!

major brands are leaving Reddit

Every day, spez comes closer to his dream of following Daddy Elon’s ‘vision’ for Twitter

Problem: Brands start leaving Twitter

Solution: Increase the price of Twitter Blue

Unlike that exodus, the Lemmigration isn’t for censorship and freedom of speech issues (inevitably drawing in the most toxic, bigoted and hateful section of Reddit to voat); it’s because of reduced accessibility and usability, alongside the visible contempt that Reddit’s administration has for their users (free content providers) and moderators (free content curators).

This means the people fleeing Reddit’s shores aren’t doing so because they want to recreate fatpeoplehate elsewhere; it’s because Reddit won’t let blind people moderate their own communities.

As much as I would love to see nuclear disarmament, the unfortunate fact remains that bad actors will continue to keep their weapons; which will, of course, later be used as a threat against those who don’t have these weapons.

Yeah, why do that when you can let women who hate men define feminism as ‘women who hate men’ lol

Like seriously, are we just gonna pretend that the feminist movement doesn’t have a ton of loud, hateful bigots who often take way too long to be kicked out? Hell, even TERFs still get to call themselves ‘feminists’ somehow.

At this point, anyone who thinks Reddit will come out of this smelling like roses is an idiot.

…this place is so fucking surreal.

I love it.

Along with Facebook, we’ll also have to be prepared to deal with bought-out Fediverse platforms who’re willing to federate with Meta. Do whatever to cut them off.

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.

Just because he’s trying to earn a living doesn’t mean he’s ‘literally spez!’ or whatever lol

I mean, Reddit killed off ‘polished UX’ and that’s what drove me here. All the great 3PAs are on the Fediverse, after all!

I love how these spineless cowards are finally denouncing Trump’s attempt at a coup, long after this action lost any value it might’ve had.
