I don't understand this community's obsession with this man. If you're no longer on his site then why do you care what happens to him or Reddit? Just move on.

I think it's like, when you have a horrible breakup and you keep wanting to hear about the horrible things happening in your ex's life that justifies you leaving them and/or gives you some sweet schadenfreude.

Because I used reddit for well over a decade and had hundreds of subs I followed. Friends and communities. Years and years of shared history. It has been a huge part of my life. And this turd is ruining it for everybody, and by everybody I mean millions og people. I’m not obsessed with the guy, but I am interested to know what is going on with the place I spent so many hundreds of hours on. Don’t get me wrong, I glad I found lemmy. It’s a great community, but it’s far from what we left behind. In time we’ll hopefully get there, but in the meantime for sure fuck that piece of shit spez.

My thoughts exactly. Reddit was an immensely widespread and unique collection of so many vibrant niche communities that has grown over nearly two decades and was wilfully destroyed in mere weeks.
I can't blame anyone who mourns the loss and resents the greedy pigfucker that killed it.
-
I was there for over ten years and never made any friends. I must have been doing something wrong lol
-
Not only did I not make any friends there, I went to great lengths to ensure my existing friends didn't know my username.

I compartmentalised a lot using several sock puppets

It's okay friend. You're here, you can start now 👋

Some people just want to watch
the worldspez burn. It's human nature to want "your side" to win, and he's the face of "the enemy"... Not the reddit community, mind you...Reddit Corporate... But yeah...I agree with you. 😁

I like to watch train wrecks, but I don’t want to be in a train wreck.
-
Are you sure? Have you ever been in a train wreck before? Maybe it's fun!
Update: I just googled "train wrecks" and, while it doesn't look fun, who really knows for sure?
-
Well no, and I’ve never seen a live train wreck either. In general I’m fascinated by disasters. The people around me can all be freaking out and I’m like ‘wow this is amazing’. However train wrecks, airplane crashes, and high speed auto wrecks are all obviously dangerous enough so that I in fact have no desire for a first hand experience.
-
I did a study about that once. The only conclusion I could really make is that people involved in train wrecks don't like participating in post experiment questionnaires. Though on the bright side, their refusal to answer the questionnaire meant we could sue their families for the cost of the train because being in train wrecks is also apparently associated with not reading contracts.

This community is about technology and it’s one of the most popular websites.

I'm sure some people hover between them. The only reason I still go on reddit sometimes is that Infinity is still working. I think it would go to almost 0 if I genuinely had to use the official app.

I think watching his moves foretells the future of communities still on Reddit. Lemmy has learned from growing pains in the recent fast growth, but could it handle a true twitter-level meltdown's influx of users? I think Reddit needs to stay alive a little longer so community federation and migration is possible, THEN Reddit can melt down. Watching the person steering that shop is helpful in gauging urgency.
-
People sunk ungodly amounts of time into reddit.
-
Well you better start understanding it, we can't let go. If Reddit were shattered into a million pieces tomorrow, we would still sing the bitter lamentations about the time they took away our most sacred API.
-
Because if I heard that something violent and horrible happened to him, it would make me smile.
-
Bruh, all he did was make a minor unpopular financial decision for the sake of the company. Wishing him harm just shows that you're terminally online. Reddit is literally nothing more than a silly forum to shitpost and watch porn. It's not important.

This is the one, right here

Keep those numbers up (down) people!

Damn, I got downvoted to fuck for upvoting and supporting an objective post about not giving Reddit any traffic. Granted I'm new on this instance, but that's a lil weird

I agree with OP straight up. Is the tone of my syntax not registering correctly? Am I bein trolled? (Yes)
