News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
 

“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

"Fire the moderator of r/jailbait!"

Try r/Save3rdPartyApps

🤦‍♀️ literally two minutes of googling would’ve solved that for me smh

Or, ironically, looking right in the middle of the canvas. (Though you could have ended up in r/save3rdfartyapps).

Whats firing supposed to do?

Im pretty sure hes planning on leaving on his own as soon as Reddit IPOs and he can bail out with his millions.

Why?

Who cares?

The only reason I can think of that you would want to see him fired is if you still believe he is the one and the only problem. If it wasn't him, it would be somebody else. The whole industry is effectively in the process of imploding. Without him, it would just be some other corporate penny pincher. The problem is the profit incentive.

Also...why bother? The only reason I can think to do this would be because you believe if he's fired, there's a chance reddit is saved and we can all go back.

You're still holding on. Let it go, buddy.

[–] SusLemon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

More effective to say "Reddit it dead" at this point, not that it's useful either just leave and don't look back honestly

[–] soulifix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who the hell is gonna fire him, though? That's like clamoring for Mark Zuckerberg to be fired. It's probably impossible to.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He already cashed out so I suspect his CEO position is more of a "he knows what he's doing so we'll hire him" than a "I own all of this, so I'm CEO". Unless they were dumb enough to give him a controlling portion of shares as compensation.

That said, they have no reason to listen to people posting on the internet about it. If he gets fired, it'll be over his results not some internet whining. Those who have the influence to get that done know that Hoffman is spez.

The only thing that doing this might accomplish is making it harder for him and others who happen to share his name to get hired in the future. But even that is iffy IMO.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

Why would I want Spez fired when he's been so helpful in spreading awareness and encouraging adoption of the fediverse?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh. Lemmy is pretty good. I've moved on. I hope more people do as well and it can go in the giant Internet "has been" pile.

[–] Imajustlayhere@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy just feels so much calmer to me I love it. Even if Reddit makes a full reverse course still won't go back

[–] panja@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck spez is clear and actionable too

[–] lemmony@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, I don’t wanna fuck him but you do you 🤷‍♀️

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Fuck him and then fire him?

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

I got banned from Reddit so I can't help, but still fire Steve Huffman!

But the people familiar with Reddit vastly out number the others that matter though?

We don’t need other people knowing who Huffman is, we need more redditors aware of what’s going on.

Fighting the wrong fight my friend.

Just stop talking about the entire site completely. Every time you talk about it, or the people it just adds to their counter of people interacting and it helps them out. The place is dead. Let it burn and let the douchebags that have made it a shit hole stay there while we enjoy this place until it goes the same way.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Reddit is rotten to the core, the CEO is just to puppet in front of it all.

Replace the CEO and nothing will change as long as there are investors looking to make a profit.
