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.
Is that true? Holy moly!
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.
btw I actually might be helping you attack him better
Instead of a spurious claim he actively managed a pedo sub—
—a more definite claim he permitted a pedo sub to remain on his site? (Assuming he was aware of the sub, which I bet you could find indications of)
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.
Those are always the guys that wrest control though. They have no contributions, so instead they spend their time scheming.
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.
There are a hundred different ways they could have reached a compromise on third party app support if it was just about API limits. They killed it because they want to gather mobile app telemetry like everyone else does these days.
Oh so now they don't like ads
I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.
Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s
Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.
Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP's comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.
Wow, it's like a glimpse inside the mind of a junior highschool edge lord.
Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.
Well, at least he's right about the ego thing. He's going to get traded for a handful of batteries within the first week lol.
When i read this in 2017 i got really mad, had this in my head for weeks. What a piece of shit spez is.
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.
🫡 thank you for your service 🫡
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?
Yes, that's what it was. I went in just to mess when Spez was gonna talk.
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.

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.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"
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.
My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao
Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.
Heard this is a myth but by all means continue to propagate this rumor 🥳
If i recall, at the time sub owners could designate anyone as a moderator without them having to accept the position, meaning that its very possible he was made a mod of the subreddit as a joke/troll but never actually interacted with it.
Hes still a dipshit though
Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked
-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well
lmao
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.
You a real one bruh!
