Lol at the sign-language interpreter, like Reddit gives half a shit about accessibility now.
Sign language yes, real time captions no. Only whatever live transcription crap your phone or computer could do
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!
Thanks
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.
Maybe he was made one without him knowing…
He could have removed himself immediately upon noticing…
Source for the fact he noticed?
Ewww I’m defending Spez
As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.
I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.
Source? See

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.
This is what always got to me that I don’t think people focus on enough. It’s such an anti-consumer pattern. Instead of improving the official reddit app, or buying out a third party one, they simply shot the competition in the knees.
If you want everyone on the official app, be competitive and invest into making it not suck donkey balls. Obviously that’s far too much work.

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.
Telemetry is telling them their app sucks and that people try it x period of time and then uninstall it.
It is so terrible that I log into reddit once a week on my pc.
All that costs time, money and resources whereas flatput lying and fucking people over is cheap. You calculate how much you’ll lose, see that it’s enormously bad qualitatively but you won’t lose too many visitors because most people don’t give a fuck so you go with it.
That’s the thing. I get that people using the service on a third party client and not seeing ads is hurting their bottom line as they use bandwidth and not make money. But just banning them outright is a shit move. Ideally they would’ve made it part of Reddit Premium to make that a bit more worthwhile.

You know, I realize that some people run a dictatorship and only want absolute obedience, I totally get that, that’s totally a gettable thing for me, that’s not weird at all.

Yes. And ok.
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.
Aaron Swartz, the internet’s own boy.
Oh so now they don’t like ads
Only ads that serve them are allowed
I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.
I bet you are right 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.

That’s a new one.

Ew just make sure you wash your hands
Hail all mighty master spezy wezy uwu 👉👈
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.
Good point.
There were many like that, lol!
I doubt they have delicate fee fees or feel feels or whatever. I don’t care whether they even care that I was banned, all I know is my ban from Reddit is a badge of honor and proves I can get under other people’s skin. You always know you’re telling the truth when it makes people angry enough to ban you.
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 🫡
It was an honor, sir!
u/Ademir… A Lemming on a mission with a swagger that will set the world at ease…
I got banned because I said “lemmy dot world” in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.
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?
If I’m guessing correctly, it’s a modcon, which makes it even more pathetic for mods to attend an event hosted by the very people who have given them grief this past few months, just so they can feel special with their own exclusive event.
Yes, that’s what it was. I went in just to mess when Spez was gonna talk.
Yeah no worries, I wasn’t pertaining to you. lol.
I didn’t take that personally, all good. Just wanted to confirm what you said :)
Is there a difference between the latter and a typical spez ama?
We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding.
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?”He allowed dissenting opinions when he let jailbait be one of the most popular subs lol
