spez doesn’t care, be just wanted the money for his doomsday bunker.

“I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

If I wanted Facebook shitposts and forwards from KlanMa, I’d’ve joined Facebook. And I don’t believe Meta has good intentions, I believe they want to overwhelm the fediverse, and I believe they want to make money. Middle-manager Cottle and their team may have good intentions, but corporate certainly doesn’t, and I certainly don’t trust their users.

I feel like something changed

He grew up a rich white boy in full-Apartheid South Africa. He’s never grown up (Tesla models S,3,X,Y! Tesla fart noises! 42069 amirite!).

Nothing changed, he just got bored and started interacting with the poor’s and people noticed the person he really was.

It was pretty obvious that Trump would try to scam Musk. Fortunately, given his own difficulties, Musk was unlikely to agree - we’re just fortunate these bills are coming due so far in advance of the election. And also that, given Musk’s foreign birth, he’ll never be eligible to be president or vice president (something that I’m sure sticks in his craw).

Lmao, I was thinking more about how fractious reddit is even without provocation, but you’re right, too!

users could become unruly if Reddit stock falls below the IPO price.

Lmao, dude doesn’t know redditors at all, do they?

Spez is trying to outfit his doomsday bunker and wants the cash.

Rexxit had over $500,000,000 in revenue in 2022. It wasn’t profitable because spez spent money paying for all the infrastructure and bandwidth for multiple AI companies to harvest all of rexxit’s data, and because he’s constantly distracted by trying to incorporate the latest tech-bro trends into rexxit - rexxit crypto, rexxit NFTs, now he’s trying to figure out rexxit AI. He’s a breathtakingly incompetent CEO.

So anyone who hasn’t logged in for 30 days is considered inactive and their account may be subject to being seized and sold? Fuck that shit.

Sure, let me give all my money to the broke billionaire with the bad investment history - what could go wrong?!

Danielle Nett, an editor with NPR’s engagement team, writes in the staff memo that spending less time on Twitter has helped with staff burnout. “That’s both due to the lower manual lift — and because the audience on Threads is seemingly more welcoming to publishers than on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where snark and contrarianism reign,” Nett writes.

Snark and contrarianism, on reddit?! I’m shocked!

I bet it’s fucking Collider again. If you go to Google news and search “reddit”, then unless reddit has done some recent fuckery, well over half the results are Collider listicles of 10 Best/Worst <items>, according to reddit. [A bunch of the rest are sites writing articles about bullshit posts on AITA and similar creative writing subreddits.]

Actual creepiness is limited to two messages per week.

That said, I’m sure that (now the door is cracked slightly) there’ll be another tier with ten messages, twenty, a hundred …

I understand the difference, but he’s collecting stuff just because it’s shiny. He’s short of cash because he has no impulse control, and I fail to see why he shouldn’t fail the same way other people who overextend themselves fail.

One of the richest people in the entire world wants still more money. Tell me again how “trickle-down economics” works?

Remember, he grew up a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa, and never matured beyond that. He has no ability for self-reflection or introspection. Which means he’s never wrong, so someone else must be to blame. So far, that’s included religious, racial, and sexual minorities. He’s only going to grow more deranged as time goes on.

I swear Collider is the worst, it’s all just ten best/worst [whatever], according to reddit. I absolutely hate that Google continues to include them in their news feed.

Technically, I think that was violentacrez, and I’m pretty sure spez was added during that period where you could add anyone as a mod without their knowledge or approval. Which still doesn’t excuse spez giving violentacrez a “special award”. Fuck /u/spez.

they’ll say it’s a technical glitch.

They’ll just say it’s against ToS.

Per The Verge:

When asked if Reddit will remove the protesting messages [nb: “fuck /u/spez”], spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr pointed to the r/Place canvas rules. One of those rules says that “targeted hate or harassment of private individuals (including mods and admin) and protected groups are violations of our [content] policy (Rule 1) and will be removed. In addition, posts, comments, and imagery that are hateful, graphic, sexually-explicit, and / or offensive are violations of our policy (Rule 6) and will be removed.”

And the alienated customers might not come back, even if the park owners realise the mistake and get rid of the fee.

This is exactly what happens most of the time. Check out the short Twitter thread on the thermocline of trust.
