He screwed up so bad, and it's obvious he's quite stupid...I'm wondering if he was given the Ellen Poa treatment. The investor's knew what changes they wanted to implement to increase revenue, had him implement it, then made him take all the flak. Next, they'll replace spez with someone else, seemingly roll back a few of the changes, and say they're working with the reddit community. The thing is that it's obvious that reddit is irreparably infected. The diseases cannot be eradicated because the disease is corporate greed. Reddit began its time in hospice the moment they shared they were going public. It's over. Done. Say you final goodbyes. RIP in pieces.

those are the admins of one instance. if you don't like them, you can join another or create your own

what a passive-aggressive little baby

yep, I had a similar train of thought

In case anyone wants to delete all their reddit comment and posts before leaving, I used this nice little product that did it automatically for me:

Blame-shifting is a tenet of narcissism. They can't be grandiose and entitled without it.

I had bought the premium version 8 years ago for just like ~$3-5. that was such a great deal. i loved the ui and how smooth it worked. they never integrated all those new awards. it was just nice and clean.

RIP RIF. it's the end of an era.

omg, kbin and Lemmy are about to get hit with waves of new users. the poor servers

I don't know how someone can insults their character worse than by pretending to be a victim and getting caught as a fraud. At that point, your word is gone and no one should waste their time listening to anything you have to say.

a BS PR spin with lots of vague answers that imply he's doing what's best for the reddit community. that's all it can be. given his history, what else could someone expect? even if he were to roll back all the expected API changes so that everyone could still continue to use reddit as we have been, i'm out. i want nothing to do with that site. it's been getting worse for quite some time, and this was the motivation i needed to leave. plus, not that i found kbin and lemmy, i have no need for that site. i purged my accounts, so that even my accounts don't matter anymore.

Serious question: Since it's a federated system that is open-source, what do their political views have to do with supporting the platform? Even if they decide to become Neo-Nazis and change it, the rest of use can continue to use the work they've made thus far and keep it like it is or improve on it. Our use of it doesn't support their political aspirations either aside from their beliefs in federated social media.

spez is a straight up narcissist that uses the same playbook as the rest. it's so evident with the gaslighting, blame-shifting, and smear campaign. at this point, anything he says should be understood to be a tactical play in gaining control by seeming powerful, "on your side," or requiring pity as a victim. his mind is deranged, so he has no other capacity.

I made into lemmy.world before they shut down sign ups. I knew I needed to hurry and get on board for the rest of the pack! I'm happy I made it am excited to help this place grow into something fruitful for all of us.

i also might have used a github app to delete all of my posts and comments across all of my accounts. i might have done that before reading the post. however, after reading the Apollo author's post, there's no way i might go back to reddit. that is some manipulative shady af bs.

ooh-rawr!

while i don't necessarily disagree that porn can destroy the meaning of sex and wreck one's brain, i really would prefer the state stay out of my business. i think a better approach would be to provide education on how porn affects us and avenues to seek help should someone fall into an addiction. however, getting the state involved on what people can and cannot say is too much control for my comfort.

I'm not against it as long as I can avoid reddit taking over my feed. I'm happy to get away from reddit, not just because of their business practices, but the culture has changed to something I rather avoid. I'm liking this cozy federated feel so far and would prefer to keep reddit's culture from taking over my feed again.

I only see 2 downvotes...omg I can see downvote counts!

would Pixelfed be a working alternative for hosting image files, then linking over?

I'm really getting into the whole Fediverse and trying to limit use of for-profit proprietary services. FOSS or death!
