Lol at the sign-language interpreter, like Reddit gives half a shit about accessibility now.

[-] Paradox@lemdro.id 41 points 7 months ago

Sign language yes, real time captions no. Only whatever live transcription crap your phone or computer could do

You know, I realize all the people who put in money want a return on their investment. I get it.

But what I can't forgive is killing 3rd party clients when your official client sucks all the donkey balls in every reality in every universe.

You couldn't come to a reasonable and sane fee for 3rd party clients? Barring that, you couldn't just buy a superior client like RiF and bolt your name on it?

Fuck Spez.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 50 points 7 months ago

They did buy a superior client. Alien Blue it was called. Then internal politics killed it. Even today Alien Blue would still be a better experience, without any updates in the last five years.

[-] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago

This is what always got to me that I don't think people focus on enough. It's such an anti-consumer pattern. Instead of improving the official reddit app, or buying out a third party one, they simply shot the competition in the knees.

If you want everyone on the official app, be competitive and invest into making it not suck donkey balls. Obviously that's far too much work.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

There are a hundred different ways they could have reached a compromise on third party app support if it was just about API limits. They killed it because they want to gather mobile app telemetry like everyone else does these days.

I recognize that guy. He was a moderator of the r/jailbait subreddit for the many, many years it was hosted on Reddit.com.

Of the three people involved in Reddit's creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit's greater vision.

Swartz was a far better person.

[-] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

Aaron Swartz, the internet's own boy.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 65 points 7 months ago

Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s

Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 34 points 7 months ago

There were many like that, lol!

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 28 points 7 months ago

Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP's comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Good point.

Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

I got banned because I said "lemmy dot world" in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.

[-] 0xF21D@infosec.pub 48 points 7 months ago

I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 21 points 7 months ago

I bet you are right lol

[-] Vant@lemm.ee 45 points 7 months ago

Careful how you speak to Spez, my friend. He plans on being a slave leader in the aftertimes when society collapses, and you will NOT be invited to live on his very fine plantation.

(Yes, he really did say this.)

[-] ZombieTheZombieCat@lemm.ee 15 points 7 months ago

he was a competitive ballroom dancer

That's a new one.

So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 21 points 7 months ago

If I’m guessing correctly, it’s a modcon, which makes it even more pathetic for mods to attend an event hosted by the very people who have given them grief this past few months, just so they can feel special with their own exclusive event.

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes, that's what it was. I went in just to mess when Spez was gonna talk.

We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. https://i.imgur.com/a0F2bW6.png

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 34 points 7 months ago

If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

He allowed dissenting opinions when he let jailbait be one of the most popular subs lol

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
Come to reddit, we have CEO who's an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.

Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago

Heard this is a myth but by all means continue to propagate this rumor 🥳

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 31 points 7 months ago

If i recall, at the time sub owners could designate anyone as a moderator without them having to accept the position, meaning that its very possible he was made a mod of the subreddit as a joke/troll but never actually interacted with it.

Hes still a dipshit though

Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked

-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well

lmao

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 28 points 7 months ago

My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 7 months ago

My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao

Screw Reddit and spez. You did well, OP!

[-] Dizzirron@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

He did a talk and Q&A in England awhile back at I believe Oxford and he kept checking his watch, it just seemed rude.

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago

he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.

What a fun little image that conjures up.

[-] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?

*Edit

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

From the place I still use as they didn't move, I haven't seen a single mentioning of Lemmy, fedivers, black out or anything close. Makes sense as those communities didn't even try moving.

In one of the subs I did notice a quality decline and it moving a bit from, people talking about shared experiences with a medical condition, to being babys first experience with medical condition, but it has moved back even so slightly, but the average age seems to have gone down.

The other one for a game. I can proudly say is just as low quality as before, but I stick around to give tech support, even if it of the absolute most basic nature sometimes, and keep up with updates, bugs and community fixes.

I'd ban you too for using that fucking emote.
