Kinda wish the peanut gallery would stop posting a little bit. Like a little engagement is one thing but this literally already has more than 2,000 posts in 20 minutes of people piling on and going "uhuh!" "yeah!" "HE WONT DO IT!" "He hasnt answered to this complicated post yet".
Like it's so much noise that when and if he does inevitably reply to things it will be buried.
Also why are people celebrating the big questions by giving them reddit gold and awards? Doesnt that cost real money? I dont see the sense in going
"Yeah screw reddit! You tell this lying dirtbag!" and then giving reddit a few bucks so a little icon appears next to their name
I'll admit to a little shitposting in the AMA thread to be fair, but mostly to promote Fediverse alternatives where people are asking where they can go.
Youre going god's work. That said I imagine that kind of content will be buried under the thousands of people posting "fuck spez"
I'm actually seeing a fair number of people linking or mentioning Lemmy, there may be traction...
I mean, you can just look at spez's profile to see what he's repsonded to. That's where I've been looking.
As for the awards thing, for some reason reddit has always done that. I'd bet 99% of the gold spez has gotten over the years was given in anger, which makes no sense to me, but it's something they always do
One thought is that awards etc for certain comments push in to the top when sorting by hot, I believe. Just a guess though.
@lemillionsocks @Two9A There's not really any substantive conversation to be had. It's very obvious that they just did this to kill all 3rd party apps. Spez just continues to dig his grave with obvious lies that users can see right through.
