I never thought I'd side with Disney on anything, but then came Ron DeSantis. I never thought I'd side with Reddit mods on anything, but then came spez.
Yeah, huh. It's weird how that happened. Disney, ruiner of many small companies and destroyer of the purpose of copyright law on a deeply greedy level, goes against a sociopath nazi white nationalist, probably kkk.
Ten years ago, I liked Disney stuff but hated what they've done to the freedom of law and ruining the opportunities of many.
But here we are, post-2016 trump era, the world is way, way worse, and my activist political aunt was right.
She said to me, back then at a family get together after dinner, that electing trump is an extremely scary thing and would be bad.
I asked her what's the worst that could really happen.
She kinda stared back at me, as if to gauge what to say. Then said that he was the type of person that brings all the awful things out from under their rocks, and told me to keep my eyes open and pay attention, because if he got elected, the next 4 years will be the type of history that only happens once in a lifetime.
She was 100% serious, as if she could see the future. But she was just in her 60s, big gay, from DC, and confident and loud. I can still see the the look of dread and sorrow on her face as she said that to me, and I doubt I'll ever forget it.
Power typically begets more power, and the only way to fix it is to forcefully bend it to your will over and over again. I can't believe Disney is where our trust is for civil rights, but, I guess it can always be worse and Disney knows that and is using us for support. It's not great.
Fuck spez.
It's like boomer sociopaths grew old enough in their time, and were like "yeah, ruin everything, yeah yeah". But then millennial sociopaths grew old enough and are now like, "hold my coke..." Can we reign this shit in for the future generations at least? Because it's awful.

Your aunt was right, but there is a positive force to this happening. It's like boiling chicken stock. It raises the scum to the top which makes it easier to remove. While it stirred up a mess for us, that mess was always there. Now we can at least easily spot it and collectively work towards removing it.

This entire fiasco has been a blessing in disguise. Reddit's CEO and admins showing their true colors woke up a lot of people. Their behavior is disgusting and unethical.
Obligatory Fuck spez
That's absolute garbage. I am mostly on Lemmy now, but I unsubbed from mildly interesting anyway.
mildly infuriating is an understatement, this is insane...
They cannot remove a post's NSFW tag if it has NSFW in the title.
I've joined here because I think Reddit's quality is going to tank after June 30, but I downloaded Jerboa and it doesn't seem to accept my credentials, regardless of instance. I'm confused.

Jfc. Reddit is dead.
The plot thickens
Wow, watching the Lemmy user activity skyrocket (signups sans bots, it's still the starting wave of the mass exodus, exponential growth curve at its start) is just amazing.

I was going to wait until the 29th to erase my content and delete my account, just in case the board woke up from their torpor, decided to stop the hemorrhaging and remove Spez… but now that Reddit is violating their own TOS commitments, and I just got my personal data download request filled… I guess I’m starting now.

I'd say that's a little more than just "mildly" infuriating.
But reddit had made its bed.
