It's Lemmy from here on out! Haven't looked at it in weeks. I do not miss it. Fuck spez!

Lemmy, I need your help. I have loads of colleagues blowing up my dms call me the asshole but I don't think I have done anything wrong... So hear me out.

I [40m] have felt like I am being taken advantage of by a developer, let's call him Chris [30m]

It all started when I hosted a Q&A, during the Q&A a question came up about a telephone call we had in private. It came out of nowhere so I reacted quickly. I didn't think the call was relevant to the Q&A we were having but he brought transcripts! I was shocked

It felt like he was deliberately trying to paint me as a villain. I Thought that was it, but after the Q&A all of the moderators were trying to close their subreddits, some of them tried to change the themes of their subreddits and even more shocking they were turning sfw to nsfw so I told them all they had to take their volunteer work seriously or I would fire them!

They are all unhappy because of my stance but I am only doing it for the good of my employer, as my boss tells me we aren't making enough money on ads and most people don't like our website in its current state but I think it's rubbish it works just fine without the developers help!

Anyway, Lemmy please tell me. Am I the Asshole?

Fuck Ajit Pai while we're at it.

You can create a simple regex blacklist in pihole to prevent any accidental clicks on reddit links from generating ad revenue

Spez behaves like a 7 year old. He has 0 logical reasoning. "Third party apps are 90% of the platform. We need people to use our official app so we can be profitable." logical answer here is "make the official app good", spez answer is "kill third party apps". What a sad joke.

WE HAD A GOOD THING YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!

We had 3PA's, we had all the free labor in the world, just from passionate people who wanted to share the things they love, we had bots to fight spam, and extremely talented developers who made your stupid website work on mobile. It all ran like clockwork, if you could have just shut your mouth we'd all be fine right now.

But no, you just had to blow it up. YOU, AND YOUR GREED AND YOUR EGO.

Fuck u/spez

Edit: grammar

On to new horizons!

...and FUCK YOU spez!

I'd been reporting the filthy fucker for over a week as had other people and nothing happened so I reported it directly to spez.

He banned me for harassment.

The CP seller still wasn't removed.

Tbf im not sure what I expected from someone that looks like a ventriloquist dummy that came to life so it could become a sex offender.

Can you imagine being CEO of a company with free content creation, free moderation, free app developers, and being wildly popular with consumers and yet still not being able to turn a profit?

AND still be allowed to keep your job?

I was thinking when I was spamming the AMA, hey, so many people are saying fuck u/spez, so why not create a community to make a message, but then I realized that it wouldn't do much since it's too late to make a community on Reddit. Plus, that would get banned on Reddit in like a day.

What do you guys think? Will many instances of these platforms intercommunicating strengthen or weaken our ability to converse?
