“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

    blaming people for wanting it to get better serves no purpose

    Yeah. No one is doing that. We’re blaming them for tolerating bullshit.

    The users played every card they had and Reddit didn’t move a fucking millimeter. If they had come up with absolutely any sort of compromise, you could have a decent argument. But Reddit has made it very clear that the only changes that are coming are the continued enshittification.

    If users actually stopped contributing to the site, they would have no choice but to roll back the changes and come up with another solution. But not even a small fraction of the site’s users slowed down for more than a couple of days.

      I mean I agree with this part. That’s why I’m commenting on this site and not the other one, but that doesn’t mean we have to pretend the other one doesn’t exist and that we don’t care what’s going on there. I agree that everyone should move here, but nevertheless, most of them aren’t, and I cannot control that. The fact is that most people are not deep enough into the internet to make a pros and cons list of social media sites. They just use what other people use, or what pops up first on Google. We are neither of those things, and until we are, I have a vested interest in what happens at the other place.
