Reddit's CEO is now comparing the people who've done the most to make the site popular to "landed gentry" -- demonstrating that he's both over-the-top arrogant and ignorant.
He's also threatening to change the rules of the site to make it easier to remove moderators. Yes, that'll definitely encourage more people to build communities there.
@dangillmor Spez went from a fairly even-handed sensible choice when he came back in 2015 to spending the last couple of years making himself out to be a milquetoast version of Andreessen/Musk/Rabois, themselves already quite tasteless and tone-deaf. These people are making themselves rich while breaking the spine of the industry itself.
@dangillmor I think he should embrace #Web3 and tie the platform to crypto and make every subreddit run by its own DAO, completing the #enshittification
@dangillmor If he wants users to be able to vote people out, maybe he should let users vote on Dictator Huffman, who is absolutely not responsive to what the users or the admins want.
@dangillmor reddit used to be my favorite place on the internet. They have thrown away so much community goodwill. Right now I don’t feel like ever going back. It is a pity for a bunch of the small, niche communities there.
@dangillmor@engarneering@st3ph3n as fas as I know, both are part of the fediverse, so interaction is possible (I use both Mastodon and Lemmy); fediverse platforms usually have some search function to reach other servers
