I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

I have a feeling that spez was an ordinary man when he started reddit. Then he became an asshat, of course.

I can't even blame spez for becoming that asshat. Trying to ride herd on something as large, diverse, and popular as reddit has become, requires someone who is willing to be an asshat.

If you ever find yourself in charge a group of diverse people remember that you will never satisfy everyone. And a lot of the time the best you can hope for is to piss off everyone equally.

Do you think you can be benevolent and also not try to satisfy everyone

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can be benevolent, but you can't satisfy everyone. Those are two different things. I can care about people, but I can't feed every starving person. I can work to rescue as many as I can, but I cannot save everyone.

And the larger the group you are trying to lead, the less likely it is that you can satisfy the needs of all of them. And sometimes, you might even need to be cruel in the moment to be kind over the long run to do the most good.

People follow celebrities accounts like good sheeps. Let them stay there.

That behavior is not up to the standard known as "average".
