le reddit army xD

I agree with the anger toward spez, but I think many of us are missing that he isn’t a lone actor. He is solely the face. Based on his history, he doesn’t have the skills to strongarm an entire company with the size and influence of Reddit. There’s an entire board and team of assistants and consultants that are advising him. He is the face of a larger group that is pushing this movement, while he is mostly voicing that group’s opinion. I really think that this understanding needs to spread among us because that group can merely change the face of the voice to continue their trajectory without any true change, causing us to be caught off guard and falling for their self-centered greed.

Right now, the Fediverse, specifically Lemmy and kbin, have a lot of momentum going due to recent events related to Apollo, spez’s AMA, and the blackout. This momentum is capable of making the Fediverse a success stable alternative to Reddit, but it will only succeed if the pressure for it to succeed continues. However, while many of us here are dead set on never returning to Reddit, we need to hit a critical mass of determined refugees to sustain this movement. Therefore, all Reddit really needs to do is come out with some way of reducing that momentum for long enough to quell the movement. After that, they can go back to implementing their changes. While I don’t have Reddit’s finances available, I’m assuming they have or can access the financial means to slow the momentum down enough to quell the rebellion.

Christian is such a class act. He doesn’t take things personal; he doesn’t get angry or play their game. He just shares his truth in a calm, objective, but confident manner. I would love for him to become more prominent outside of Reddit drama because I’m sure that anything he works on will become successful and mutually beneficial to all parties involved. If I managed a large tech organization, I’d be calling to recruit him. Certainly, other tech corporations are following this and wondering how they can get him to come work for them.

That’s a good point. My entire household, which is just me, average’s about 500 Mbps download and 25 MBps upload. Is that pretty low for a server?

The people with the actual power are the board of directors and investors. All they care about is money. That’s how they got to that position. As far as they’re concerned, the right the decision is the one that makes them the most money. And by “them”, I mean each individual. They are all fighting for themselves. They couldn’t care less about each other, users, or the community. spez is being played like Ellen Pao. He’s just the fall guy.

of course /r/circlejerk is dark lmaooooooo i fucking love that sub so much 🤣

That’s cool. Let reddit turn into the next Facebook. It will attract the garbage and protect us from that.

I make frequent typing errors too. I’ve accepted it as part of my quirks. That’s just how I am 🤷‍♂️
