    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

    You know, I realize all the people who put in money want a return on their investment. I get it.

    But what I can’t forgive is killing 3rd party clients when your official client sucks all the donkey balls in every reality in every universe.

    You couldn’t come to a reasonable and sane fee for 3rd party clients? Barring that, you couldn’t just buy a superior client like RiF and bolt your name on it?

    Fuck Spez.

    I hadn’t thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn’t migrate say about us? I’m really curious now but I don’t want to look. I’ve only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don’t want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?

      From what I can tell a lot of the people there who are even aware of it think of Lemmy as inactive and irrelevant and the protests as an embarrassing failure.

          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.

    he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.

    What a fun little image that conjures up.

    We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding. https://i.imgur.com/a0F2bW6.png

    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.

    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.
