MODERATORS
A lot of these people volunteered their spare time to manage communities for no pay. Wondering how far downhill a lot of these subs will go with Spez putting himself in charge of everything.
they won't. Spez is learning how much of reddit's success has nothing to do with reddit itself. hopefully we have all learned from the messy and long experiment with letting corps control our gardens.
He's not learning anything LMAO
Corporations NEVER learn
His name is Steve Huffman, and he's a former mod of r/jailbait and as such a paedophile.
This comment needs to be a lot higher.
Dude for real! I thought people were just saying that because fuck the guy but no it's actually true. Pretty fucked up! And as far as I had seen on Reddit it wasn't ever mentioned before although that's probably because Spez would have shadowbanned and deleted/edited the comments if it did ever out him.
They killed Aaron Swartz and close sourced Reddit. That was really the end. People such as the Lemmy founder, knew it which is why they built this, to free us from those power structures. Spez and people like him deserve to burn in their own special hell.
The great migration is here and we have to work as hard as possible now to preserve this work and freedom from such people. Spez and Reddit, is finished, if we will it so.
