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

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

    Your source admits Spez was a jailbait mod. MAYBE he was made one without knowing, but he DEFINITELY could have removed himself and didn’t.

    Spez was a jailbait mod for years. That’s a fact.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

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

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

    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.

    If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.

    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.

    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.

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

    What a fun little image that conjures up.
