FrankTheHealer,

Ah so thats what's been going on. He caught the "I'm rich and only care about making more money and/or owning the wokes or something" mindset from that other 'titter' 42069 insecure man child.

Yeah, let’s convert reddit also to some platform where white supremacy BS can spike again… f@kk Elon and u/spez

What in tarnation happened in the past months at reddit? Did his brain just melt and flew out of his ears?

swnt,

Ooooffff.... 😓

Imagine looking at that dude in a constant rant against anything "leftist" or LGBTQI, firing everyone, not paying his bills, failing in every way possible to make money, becoming the laughing stock of the whole fucking internet, and say "Yeah this is who I wanna be"

What a joke.

Tyson712,

That was really fast... Two weeks and the guy goes from quiet CEO to fuckboy destroying his own platform

flybynightpotato,

Like Elon, his big mistake was thinking he was smarter than he is and deciding to open his mouth thereby alerting the public to the fact that he's very much not smart.

NoIWontPickaName,

It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and confirm it

bill_1992,

Reminds me of the saying, "it's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

roving6478,

One completely out of touch ideologue praising another isn't surprising but it is shocking how such incompetent people can land positions like this.

It's not too late for Reddit to claw some of it's reputation back, but this guy needs to step down for it to happen.

I wonder if Huffman is also a far right extremist? Would make sense with his """democratic""" desire to strikebreak and his refusal to remove subreddits that spout hate speech.

digitalrefugee,

It doesn't matter how far right you are:

You are right wing.

mrks,

This cannot be real. He finds it inspiring?!

Cyder,

Looks like someone is trying to brownnose his way to an acquisition/merger.

Anarch157a,

What baffles me is, how can someone who leads a media company be so out of touch with reality and current events ?

Fellon Muskolini is defaulting on rent, created a literal toxic environment by cutting janitorial and cleaning services, stifled Google Cloud and AWS - two services he needs to keep the site working, destroyed the value of the company, made fun of a disabled Icelandic national hero, and this is just skimming the surface. Now /u/Spez come in public to say he admires all that incompetence ?

There's being oblivious and then there's.... whatever alternate-world insanity that goes inside his peanut brain.

I was pretty fed up with Reddit and the many site issues and instabilities they were having in the last couple years, not to mention the level of discussions that had deteriorated significantly in the same time-frame. I had already stopped visiting, even deleted bookmarks to Reddit, all in favour of hanging out on Mastodon.

I'm glad I did, because Mastodon opened my eyes to the sheer beauty of the Fediverse. Heck, I've been mucking around the Internet since nineteen-ninety-seven, and this federated stuff really brings back a little bit of that magic network of yore, full of weirdness and exploration, with actual discourse. The only thing missing are the "under construction" GIFs.

theblueredditrefugee,

Wait I'm new here, is Mastodon federated with Lemmy?

Anarch157a,

Yes. I tested it, you can follow SubLemmies from Mastodon and even reply to threads and comments from there. I haven't tested the opposite, but it should be possible.

theblueredditrefugee,

Oh good to know. I'm on Lemmy right now so if you're on mastodon the interoperability obviously works just fine. Cool!

You're welcome! ;)

Shhalahr,

Ah, that takes me back!

Jesus fuck. At this point, I think Spez is actively trying (and succeeding) to alienate the community.

plantstho,

Thought this seemingly-intentional bid to wreck the platform had a familiar smell

Imagine looking at an active dumpster fire and going "that's what I want for my home!"

DmMacniel,

It's free heating.

Subreddits as a business... Can you see what Twitter is doing wrong? Well expect Reddit to do exactly the same thing.
Oh you want a platform for discussion? Too bad... Here, download our tiktok-wannabe ad-riddle app.
