The income gap between executive and median salary employees is around 32,000%. I guess the question is, what planet do you live on where a system that allows for this kind of inequity is okay?

You want to hear something fucked up? After nearly 10 years in Reddit, one day I suddenly started receiving daily death threats and HEAVY bot spamming on this tiny little sub I was moderating. So naturally I reached out to the mod support sub for help. Then this bot/spammer started flooding my post on their sub which actually felt great—they were getting a taste of what I had been dealing with. The post ended up with well over 500 comments from this piece of shit. So instead of help me out, you know what they did? They banned me from the mod support subreddit.

I had a conversation with one of the admins who basically told me they don't care about death threats. Furthermore, this spammer had also admitted to murdering people. Again the admin didn't care. Till the day I left they were unable to stop this one person from creating hundreds, maybe even thousands of accounts and spamming tons of people including myself. A billion dollar company can't even control their own product. The bots literally own Reddit. Lol. Fuck them, all of them who stayed.

Unfucking believable. Not a single mention of the actual problem in that article. Not a single mention of who is to blame.

Fuck Reddit and fuck everyone running it. During my last months there I was subject to continuous harassment and explicit death threats from one specific troll. When I brought this to the admins, they told me pound sand. They didn't do a fucking thing. Nothing.

I'm very tempted to put together a dossier of all these interactions and start sending emails to marketing departments of the most common reddit advertisers and make sure they understand the platform they are using to sell shit to people.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but without a steady stream of content, this will not work. I look at "All" every day and I find content to be generally lacking.

We need to be organized and have a game plan for how to proceed over the next 3-6 months. Imo, we need to be scraping the top content from Reddit, and we need to be recreating all of the top subreddit communities.

Damn straight. Let's go! This whole fucking country should be striking! We need to shut this shit down.

What are your top news communities here. It sounds pathetic, but I got to nearly 99% of my news from Reddit.

The sad thing is that we don't even need to use violence. We have the power to bring this country to a halt with nothing more than a well organized revolt.

How is it that such a shitty site/corporation has continued to maintain a grip on this market? Why aren't we inundated with viable alternatives?

Good. Go get em. I can hold out on their service as long as necessary, and so can you.

Damn. Just leave. 'Never forget' is not really a sentiment that fits. It's just a shitty website, not the fucking Twin Towers.
