Are people really that angry? I mean I know we live in a crazy world, but this seems a bit much.
No, this loser has a persecution fetish, nothing more.
It feeds his narcissism to think people care that much offline.
Okay let’s not kid ourselves. I know reddit is quiet right now but the entire website is angry at them. Their inbox is likely full of death threats. People are searching for their employee information.
I get that it’s fun to hate on spez and all but people have hunted employees down for less before. So yeah, while this is a justified protest and I dislike spez, we should all want to keep reddit employees safe right now. Most of them aren’t the problem.
It’s hard to wrap my head around the idea of sending death threats, people walking around with so much hate filled up that they lash out at the most detrimental things.
It’s a corporate decision, protests (subreddits going dark) and constructive critiscm from the userbase is the only way to make the voice heard.
I’m happy that another platform (Lemmy) existed which is more suitable and designed like the old.reddit.com layout to migrate to. Otherwise this ordeal would really suck.
No, I don’t think so. This is coming from the same guy who claimed that the Apollo dev tried to extort him for $10 million and threatened him, when the Apollo Dev had the phone call recorded and proved that he only offered to sell the company.
He’s feeling threatened and trying to make the users participating in the blackout look bad.Anything for that IPO, I guess…
Has there ever been an IPO of zero? Because it wouldn’t surprise me at this point…
After the 30th, we might see it. They haven’t exactly handled this situation well, so I don’t have high hopes for the transition when they do finally enact their pricing changes.
It honestly sounds like the place is run like a clown car.
I’ve got my shorts ready for summer…
Pets.com went bankrupt within 12 months of its IPO. It was ahead of its time.
No it’s just the common tactic from companies when there isn’t a good reception to one of their decisions. Then they just cherry pick some comments from Twitter or whatever and set the stage.
All it takes is one crazy guy. If you think about the size of reddit it makes sense that there is at least one who is willing to harm others
The incel terrorists in Canada were both on Reddit, iirc. There are some incredibly fringe communities on Reddit. And Lemmy, for that matter.
So, yeah. Agreed. If 1 in a million is violent, that’s enough people for someone to get hurt.
This is pathetic. Making others afraid is how weak, insignificant people feel powerful and important.
I can’t say I’d assault someone wearing reddit swag, but I’d probably cross the street…
He’s the one that has to worry about a project mayhem castration, not the employees lol.
“Oh no! Everyone is angry at me/us. Quick! Act like a victim, make the users were screwing over the bad guys!” u/spez probably
He’s worried that his employees might get poached now. If I worked there I’d be thinking about leaving and if I was trying to hire at another company I’d be trying to steal whatever talent they have over there.
Well if you look at their app talent would be stretching it…
God, he’s so fucking stupid.
“Sick retro swag! I remember Reddit!”
“We absolutely must ship what we said we would” Yeah right, everything else they have promised never led to anything, but this, this we have to push through :p
As long as it isn’t him I think they’re okay.
oh my god his unbearable arrogance knows no bounds
This is ridiculous
nothing says “swag” like the reddit logo
Wow Stevey, that’s some, uhhhhh… spot-on prioritizing.
