I’ll give you preview:
Everyone: stop this! you’ll kill reddit!
Spez: eat shit! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
there. i just saved you a ton of time and frustration
Or he will just answer a few comments way down the page that don’t ask anything difficult and ignore the top 20.
He’ll just manipulate the votes like he’s edited user’s comments in the past.
Are the fast enough? I mean, they could try deleting them but editing takes time
He’ll probably edit everyone’s comments again.
“We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface.”
Lmao, they’ll probably beat the EA comment for the record of the most downvoted post/comment, if Reddit doesn’t rig the score.

Followed by reddit announcing that they’re removing the downvote button because it’s “used for harrassment.”
“We’re locking this post because we’re being brigaded by trolls”

The only thing I used reddit for was to lurk, see photos, upvote and read some comments or posts. I was barely active during this couple of years with a new account, after deleting an old one. Sometimes I saw it, and still see it, difficult for me to be active because of karma, some kind of polarization or toxicity, even on safe subreddits.
The good thing is that here, karma is non existent. Yes, you can upvote or downvote posts and comments, but those votes don’t go to you as karma, so you’re not affected. And that really helps neurodivergent people, as it’s my case too (rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it’s called, one comorbidity of ADHD).
So, yes, fuck Reddit, and I’ll stay here as long as it lasts.
Lmao. Might as well post on r/roastme

I’ve already quit the site. Even if they backpedal, it seems unlikely because of any desire or respect for the users and only because of current PR pressure. I’ve experienced it before where some hostile decision is walked back until the uproar dies down, and they try again. And again until the protest fatigue sets in.
I’m don’t trust Reddit and have chosen to move on. Whether they stick around or not matters not to me. I’ve moved on and watch with an eye for curiosity and awareness. But no more emotional investment.

This. Decisions like this are not made on a whim. They go through multiple stages, meetings, financial and technical analyses, reviews, lawyers … many, many desks and people who sign off on the plan. They really want this.
seriously fuck this guy lol
fuck /u/spez
This was my final reddit comment lol
Yep. Fuck him and reddit. I hope they realise their mistake and also realise it’s too late and they’ve fucked up.
It is absolutely NOT too late for the vast majority of users. That’s why I want reddit to go through with their plan and dig their own grave. Sick and tired of corporate bullshit to be honest.
I agree with this. And as much as I’d like to say I’d stick to lemming, I’m pretty sure I am one of the plebs that’d go right back the moment they reverse their decision
already too late for me. I’ve been waiting for a reason to leave.
Deleted today, I’m out can’t keep supporting that place
Oh boy this will go down well.
Could this become the most downvoted post of all time I wonder. Spez is not exactly Mr Popular at the moment.
what if it beats the EA comment lol

What time will it be?
Thinking of getting a boatload of popcorn in for this one.

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.
yeah they’ll probably spin it how it’s good for the health of the site and better for end users, blah blah blah…
What does he think he’s going to solve with this AMA? The Reddit community has proven time and time again that they can smell bullshit a mile away, and have buried most admin posts with downvotes.
Why walk directly into a shitshow like this?
? This post is a month old now
Perhaps Lemmy should stop showing me old ass posts then. I hate “Active”.
