Rules:
Thats because it was overrun with MAGAs during the Trump presidency. Why aren't they punished for breaking the rules? Probably site traffic, which is just money.
The written rules don't matter, even if Reddit gaslights you into believing so. The only rule that matters is unwritten (Rule Zero: "do not stand between Reddit Inc. and a bag of money, you filthy user"), and they aren't breaking it.
Hence why my main account (and all alts) got banned for "report abuse" because I dared to report all the spam bots infesting subs I enjoyed....
Oh yeah, reddit actively tolerated The_Donald, doing everything they could to keep the sub as active as possible while "limiting" its reach to /r/all and everything else. And on top of maintaining the site traffic, Spez himself is an alt-right racist prepper who thinks he'll be a slave owner when society collapses, and likely supported half of the shit T_D got up to.... Whole site is a fucking mess all the way down to the roots.
He thinks he’ll be a slave owner? I’d never heard that before, but I’m not surprised one bit.
Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”
Sounds like a terrible case of Main Character Syndrome. People don't survive an apocalypse just because they think they're important.
Spez would be the first one to die as soon as the supply chain for chicken nuggets collapsed
"Natural leader" my ass
And he would have a heart attack upon learning that stocks and money will become worthless.
I gotta say, I thought your first comment was some kind of madly wild, baseless, bitter accusation stemming from heavy disillusionment with reddit and assumption that spez must surely represent the worst of us.
The fact that you actually have a source for that madness and interpreted that source accurately is the most mindblowing thing I've seen in a while. That really is quite an article.
You and me both chief. When I first heard it I also did a hard double take.
The affluenza class really do live in a completely different world than us. To the point where their reality sounds like absolute absurdity to us "normal people".
I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.
What a fucking dork, lol
More of an egotistical airhead. At least dorks can sometimes be cute if they're nice- Spez is just stupid from being fed from too many silver spoons.
TD is an interesting case. If we focus solely on Reddit Inc.'s best interests (i.e. disregard moral matters), you got two factions: the "leave TD ⟨A⟩lone" and "⟨B⟩an TD". ⟨B⟩ was protesting through lockdowns, and the admins had multiple choices on what to do:
In all those cases, Reddit would be pissing off one of the factions, but the other would trust the platform a tiny bit more. 1 and 4 would start a big mass exodus of ⟨B⟩ and ⟨A⟩ respectively; 2 would get a smaller ⟨B⟩ exodus, at the expense of advertisement; 3 would get a smaller ⟨A⟩ exodus at the expense of the overall reputation of the site.
Instead the admins decided to quarantine TD and call it a day. It lowered the trust of both factions on the platform, ⟨A⟩ was still organising mass exodus (Communities dot Win, Ruqqus, etc.), and ⟨B⟩ stopped protesting but it was still pissed because the offending sub was still there. Long-term it was the worst thing for Reddit Inc. that the admins could do, and yet they did it.
Because Spez is one of them.
Most likely. However I expect him to behave more in Reddit Inc.'s interests than for the sake of the TD users. (If he was smart. He isn't.)
I feel sorry for the people who visited the sub looking for posts about the Freemasons or Area 51, and then got ambushed with that crap.
I was there, magnetosphere. I was there six years ago. I was there the day the strength of mods failed.
/r/Conspiracy has been by bigots, for bigots, for over a goddamn decade. I got banned for arguing with anti-semitic garbage, and the head mod openly defended their "hardcore racists."
/r/Conservative was always led by the same clique of assholes, by the by. They went full fascist once T_D took off, but they made the aforementioned hardcore racist a moderator, not long after that conversation.
No way
I am simply shocked!
God why are we talking about Reddit here?
My guy.... check what community you're in before complaining
Sorry my vision is bad and this app puts the text of the community names in blue, I still can't read it.
community name is:
SNOOcalypse - document, discuss, and promote the downfall of Reddit. @lemmy.ml
Because this community is dedicated to just that
