Yeah he apparently started making a statement to the press and only got about 5 words in before freezing and going blank, a classic show of senility.

Great post terrible title.

The best de- endorsement will come from people’s experience on reddit as the quality of user engagement drops. There are people who genuinely will never give a shit and will stay there, but those are exactly the sort of lazy minds who made up the critical mass of the shallow “hivemind.” Id rather we make this a community that encourages independent thought more than bandwagoning.

Don’t waste your time engaging them on that platform unless you’re a child, douchebag, or troll. If your posts are actually good content, it sends a mixed message that good independent thinking redditors are whethering the shitstorm. Your actions will speak louder than your words, and our collective absence from their platform will speak volumes.

Lol thank you for this.

Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse… only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just… human nature.

Whever anyone asks what the internet used to be like I send them to a little old site called www.homestarrunner.com It’s still up after all these years. Truly beautiful.

/r/gifs currently is following suit! If you still have a reddit account go vote ASAP! (Also unsubscribe from all your “business as usual” subs as possible, immediately, if you can’t delete your account immediately for whatever reason)

If he was gonna bullshit someone it should have been investors and advertisers, not users. Look at pre-Elon twitter, Jack Dorsey knew how to IPO on straight hedgefund money.

Lol, I can’t believe what I’m reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces “accessible to users.” They’ve had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It’s been crickets until this week.
