They’re just reporting on the AMA, they don’t know anything we don’t already know.
That article is terrible, incidentally. It didn’t cover what really happened with the Apollo dev and just parroted spez’s talking points as facts.
Also, fuck u/spez.
If I select “All” it starts loading new content at the top and pushing everything else down, which is frustrating if you’re just scrolling and trying to read post titles. It’s also kinda cool that it loads new stuff in real time… just wish it were an option I could turn off.
She’s certainly an intelligence threat.
It’s like watching people drill holes in a sinking boat to let the water out.
It’s an interesting thought experiment, I even wonder that about myself. I started using reddit in 2007 and I don’t like how attached to it I am, but I also can’t deny it.
