He'll probably edit everyone's comments again.
Or he will just answer a few comments way down the page that don't ask anything difficult and ignore the top 20.
Heβll just manipulate the votes like heβs edited userβs comments in the past.
Are the fast enough? I mean, they could try deleting them but editing takes time
"We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface."
Lmao, they'll probably beat the EA comment for the record of the most downvoted post/comment, if Reddit doesn't rig the score.
Followed by reddit announcing that they're removing the downvote button because it's "used for harrassment."
YouTube 2.0
"We're locking this post because we're being brigaded by trolls"
I am expecting more than just beating the EA record tomorrow.
The only thing I used reddit for was to lurk, see photos, upvote and read some comments or posts. I was barely active during this couple of years with a new account, after deleting an old one. Sometimes I saw it, and still see it, difficult for me to be active because of karma, some kind of polarization or toxicity, even on safe subreddits.
The good thing is that here, karma is non existent. Yes, you can upvote or downvote posts and comments, but those votes don't go to you as karma, so you're not affected. And that really helps neurodivergent people, as it's my case too (rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it's called, one comorbidity of ADHD).
So, yes, fuck Reddit, and I'll stay here as long as it lasts.
Lmao. Might as well post on r/roastme
Oh boy this will go down well.
This whole drama is getting tiresome. Iβll miss reddit but I just donβt have the emotional investment to do anything other than quit the site if they go through with the changes and hope others follow suit. I hope that lemmy proves to be a viable alternative
Iβve already quit the site. Even if they backpedal, it seems unlikely because of any desire or respect for the users and only because of current PR pressure. Iβve experienced it before where some hostile decision is walked back until the uproar dies down, and they try again. And again until the protest fatigue sets in.
Iβm don't trust Reddit and have chosen to move on. Whether they stick around or not matters not to me. Iβve moved on and watch with an eye for curiosity and awareness. But no more emotional investment.
What does he think he's going to solve with this AMA? The Reddit community has proven time and time again that they can smell bullshit a mile away, and have buried most admin posts with downvotes.
Why walk directly into a shitshow like this?
? This post is a month old now
Perhaps Lemmy should stop showing me old ass posts then. I hate "Active".
I hope that nobody asks nothing. That will be the best protest that we can do.
Imagine if all the comments are "fuck you" "L+ratio" "rip bozo" et al.
Indifference is worst than that. Believe me.
I do, just trying to think tomorrow what will happen. It will be a funny and historic moment for the internet.
seriously fuck this guy lol
Yep. Fuck him and reddit. I hope they realise their mistake and also realise it's too late and they've fucked up.
It is absolutely NOT too late for the vast majority of users. That's why I want reddit to go through with their plan and dig their own grave. Sick and tired of corporate bullshit to be honest.
I agree with this. And as much as I'd like to say I'd stick to lemming, I'm pretty sure I am one of the plebs that'd go right back the moment they reverse their decision
