Ok but… Why the are people criticizing the reddit CEO on reddit and thereby USING REDDIT? There is no need to spread that he’s shit anymore at this point for everyone to see. Everyone knows by now. If people don’t approve of his ways, they need to boycott his platform. But if they keep participating on r/place, they are literally supporting him by using his platform?!
This is not a hot take, people are aware of the dissonance of using Reddit to complain about Reddit. But many folks are still upset but not upset enough to leave, or would like to leave but aren’t ready for places like Lemmy yet. It still needs work and polish before the average Joe will be comfortable here.
So in the meantime I say go for it, having fuck spez be one of the main focal points of the whole canvas is incredible and sends a message. Yea most folks have heard about it by now but might be surprised users are still upset, or never really understood what the big deal was before but maybe they look into it now. Every bit of negative sentiment on Reddit about Reddit will slowly push users away. This is more than a bit of negative sentiment.
Sabotaging the quality of reddit also hurts spez. Advertisers have been pulling out, ipo valuation is going down. If the super users make it a place people don’t want to go, they will stop going, and it will get worse. If they make life hard for the mods, some of them will say “fuck it.” And stop being mods because they will realize it’s not worth it.
