Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
Reddit is going to need a couple more GPT bots to handle that one
Eventually, even the bots will gain enough self-awareness to realize that Steve Huffman is a dick.
You know, if it’s a hastily assembled bot based on GPT trained using public web data, there’s a good chance it’s already picking up a lot on anti-spez sentiment. There might even be an opportunity for ‘malicious actors’ to accelerate that outcome, should they choose.
Golly, wouldn’t that be a shame? =}
The first time an AI bot writes “fuck u/spez” will be glorious.
