Lol at the sign-language interpreter, like Reddit gives half a shit about accessibility now.

I recognize that guy. He was a moderator of the r/jailbait subreddit for the many, many years it was hosted on Reddit.com.

Of the three people involved in Reddit's creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit's greater vision.

Swartz was a far better person.

Oh so now they don't like ads

I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.

Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s

Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.

🫡 thank you for your service 🫡

Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?

I got banned because I said "lemmy dot world" in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.

We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding.

Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
Come to reddit, we have CEO who's an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.

lol you fucking legend.

If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"

Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.

Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked

-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well

lmao

Screw Reddit and spez. You did well, OP!

He did a talk and Q&A in England awhile back at I believe Oxford and he kept checking his watch, it just seemed rude.

Worth it. It's a win/win really

I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?

*Edit

he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.

What a fun little image that conjures up.
