After paedophile Steve Huffman has been caught lying so many times, why should anyone believe a word he says?
Honestly I kind of wonder if this is all some kind of coordinated power grab to crack down on public spaces in the build up to 2024 elections.
The sad thing is they are personally affected, they're just too damn ignorant to know. Even worse, they cling to their ignorance, which is frankly the worst sin a human being can commit.
Let Lemmy grow. Growth and low effort pun threads is not what killed reddit. Corporate interference and shit stirring controversy spewing algorithms in the name of "user engagement" is what drove reddit down the drain.
His name is Steve Huffman, and he's a former mod of r/jailbait and as such a paedophile.
Duuuuuude they didn't wait long did they? And they attack r/adviceanimals, one of the core subs, even though it isn't one of the defaults anymore.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Huffman brings back r/jailbait. The fucking dirty paedo.
The CEO is an absolute bastard. He's twisted the words of his "friend" Aaron Swartz, the real founder of the site, and bastardised his creation while trashing his legacy.
The blackout isn't pointless, it's just not yet enough. Reddit needs to die, and the blackout is a step towards that. It started as a way to try and get admin to change, and in that respect it has and will fail, but it is the first step to reddit going the way of digg.
They've just today killed old reddit for users not logged in, now you get a "you broke reddit screen". It still works if you're logged in, but the days are counting down.
I'm just waiting for the day they take over the subs that have closed down, reopening them as part of the powermod's "projects". That should be a real show. /popcorn
I mean, there's an argument to be made that reddit was going down this path long before Twitter, what with their hosting and perhaps even promotion of r/t_d
Steve Huffman continues to piss on Aaron Swartz's grave.
