STOP saying “fuck u/spez” START saying “FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN”
“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.
“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)
Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree
I think everyone would be better off ignoring Reddit and its staff completely. We can build a better Reddit 2.0, and it wouldn’t even take a lot of effort. The last year or two of Reddit (from my perspective) was lackluster content from niche communities becoming unbearably toxic anyway.
I didn’t mind a good infobot in a niche sub, but moving exclusively to lemmy has made me realize just how insidious the bots and sponsored content are over there. I felt attacked, for lack of a better word, by them even if I wasn’t interacting with them.
I wonder how much of reddit is dark internet and how much is real users, and how expotentially that might grow. It should be interesting to observe the collapse at any rate.
Just stop talking about the entire site completely. Every time you talk about it, or the people it just adds to their counter of people interacting and it helps them out. The place is dead. Let it burn and let the douchebags that have made it a shit hole stay there while we enjoy this place until it goes the same way.
I haven’t seen the point of saying anything against the man who is the face of a group of people who are only interested in milking all the money they can out of reddit. It’s just an expression of anger.
I have much more appreciation for “so long, and thanks for all the fish”
The only reason I can think of that you would want to see him fired is if you still believe he is the one and the only problem. If it wasn’t him, it would be somebody else. The whole industry is effectively in the process of imploding. Without him, it would just be some other corporate penny pincher. The problem is the profit incentive.
Also…why bother? The only reason I can think to do this would be because you believe if he’s fired, there’s a chance reddit is saved and we can all go back.
