i want to call complete BS on them making it out like the Redditors protesting would physically assault the staff. Guess that’s probably a reasonable thing now though. People are whacked in the head.

    I thought that was quite an escalation also. But maybe their health & safety committee reccomended it. Probably just trying to make the workers feel embattled and unsafe so they would avoid engaging with the issues and stay to reddits side. Its a PUA kind of doublespeak; spez is the one actually making the threat. But in a way it seems to come from us.

    To be a fly on the wall at the water cooler. Please reddit workers, leak a zoom call.

    I wonder if things are as tense as was shown in that video from reddit HQ.

    was hovering over the link like "is this going to be a rick roll or something?"

    so I click it and YES this is literally what I was imagining. not the rick roll, the previous comment. fucking brilliant. in the comments it says it is the last post to /r/videos

    a lot of people mentioning ./ and digg here. on ./ there was this "first post" joke. it was very boring even at that time IMHO. but now is the moment to be thinking about "last post" if you are a person who has "last post" powers.
