That fuck talks about the data as if he was responsible in creating any of it. It's the users and users should seriously leave reddit and delete their data en masse.

They absolutely detest their userbase :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

no wonder since most of the subs are only going offline for 2 days

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I couldn't be the only one who found 2 days to be a ridiculously low time as well.

Oh, I fucking hate CEO's.

Is anyone surprised? The "blackout" seems to have been a total flop most subs don't give a shit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

7750/8300 subreddits are blacked out. Plus the server issues caused by the blackout yesterday. Iโ€™d be interested to see if an indefinite strike could be powerful enough to reverse this plan

What I don't get is who they're posturing for now.

They showed the developers that the game was fixed and there was no plan to negotiate in good faith.

They've shown the userbase they aren't responsive to strongly held concerns.

They've shown a potential IPO audience that they're capable of burning down the platform in record time and not even waiting until after they cashed out to do so.

They've shown everyone they don't even have the most basic understanding of corporate bullshit speak. It's not hard to put together "We hear your concerns and will assemble a committee of top minds who will proceed to ignore these concerns."

I guess they just want to say they didn't back down. That and $12.50 gets you a cup of coffee.

Shame they killed it like this, but fuck 'm! First comment on Lemmy ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I can see subs being dark becoming a permanent thing, hopefully coders update reddit to html updater or similar tools to pull from archived zsv files.

It's going to be an uphill battle and maybe even a siege. It's going to mean these sub-reddits are going to have to be dark for the foreseeable future if they want to make it painful for Spez and team.

"we're going dark for two days!" isn't going to change anything. reddit mods live for reddit. Why would they leave?

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

"Nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded."

Really, though. What's the point of contributing to a thread that already has hundreds of top level posts. Something new and fresh is worth a try.

I'll be interested to see if they try to keep the money happy by trying to kill porn on reddit. If they try that reddit would be in worse shape than Trump.

Then the next thing to so is mass delete your posts and comments and then the account. Scorched earth and all that jazz
