Fediverse needs some more fault tolerance before it’ll grow. Hopefully they eventually implement message queues so moderation decisions that fail to federate eventually will.
I really am glad that people are still flaming Reddit but at the same time they are still using the platform which is disappointing. I was really hoping people would accept that Reddit has gone to shit, that there is no going back to the way it was, and to move onto another platform like Lemmy or whatever other alternative.
they intentionally will never post anything of value ever again. Their trolling reddit and its IPO. They arent staying. Likely will ghost it once the IPO is complete
Edit: i misunderstood you, found somthing that invalidates my words
I remember a few weeks ago, I tried to downvote spez’s comments but I repeatedly just got the “failed to downvote comment” message. Coincidence? I think not!
This is so wonderful. The only way to stop the inevitable enshitification of everything is to band together, one way or another, and call it out. Don’t want to be part of it! We’ll make our own place.
The people in the screenshot aren’t accomplishing anything but making themselves feel good. Of all the pointless activities in this vast, pointless universe, complaining about reddit on reddit takes the cake
IDK what it says about me, but I noticed a subtle(?) nod to ‘one man one jar’ in the portion of the comment chain about sodomizing Steve Huffman with various things.
As others have pointed out in other posts, they are using Spez as an escape-goat. It makes total sense. Once they get rid of Spez, their policies will remain and the hate will no longer have a tangible target.
If he hadn’t always been a shithead, maybe. What he’s doing now is the same as he’s always done, just more of it and he no longer has a handler to tell him to knock it off.
u/notspez: “Hello Reddit, this is u/notspez. I’m the new CEO of Reddit. Pic related, it’s me. We snoos stand together.”
Reddit: “WE DID IT REDDIT! WE DEFEATED SPEZ! REDDIT IS SAVED! WOHOOOO!!!”
…serious now, I agree with you. It’s a lot like Ellen Pao, except that spez probably knows that he’s being used as scapegoat and he’s OK with it. The business itself is rotten, and the very fact that they’re giving spez a green card to screw with the userbase shows that anyone who they put in place would be as trashy as him. Fuck spez and fuck Reddit Inc.
Seeing how the vast majority of people stayed and are gladly participating in reddits PR event, I think it’s fair to say that messing with reddit can be fine.
The strange thing about reddit refugees on Lemmy is that they have this weird sense that the platform they left actually died when they did so. The trith is that the vast majority did not migrate and are happily eating their spoonfed shit.
When we say it’s dead, we mean what is used to be is dead. But let’s not pretend the site actually died or is no longer working. We can all (justifiably) think it’s a shit filled shell of it’s former self without being in denial.
I’m a refugee, but I have no illusion about my value to Reddit (or how much my absence will be noticed - barely at all if at all)
I think, for some of us, it’s not like “the platform will die”; it’s “I left the circus. No longer my deal”. Thrive, falter … it’s no longer our business; and that’s freeing.
Yeah I left Reddit not because it was dying but because it started to change into something that wasn’t for me. It has always changed, but the third party app thing made me realize it was time to move on.
I don’t care what reddits owners do with the platform, I’m just glad to be here now.
