Has this guy got his Texas harem started yet? Seems like he’s speed running the Musk Meltdown playbook.

Was going to say that. Reddit has become a Nazi heaven and center of Zionism. Never thought I had to put these two word together. Now here we are.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Dude. When zionists are talking gas chambers, it's okay to compare (or group them) with Nazis.

It's always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.

All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they've cornered their share of the oligopoly market.

A conservative pond full of liberal fish

Can capitalism just die now please?

He got how much for ruining the site and profiting off years of its users' work?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

9 digits, I believe

Former mod of /r/jailbait says what?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes.

(But it wasn't his choice, someone added him.)

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

(But he didn’t remove himself either.)

Comment of the day

Like the CEO? I'm sure he barely pretends to work.

"Employees tend to forget that the entire purpose of life is to run yourself ragged for some dipshit who has obtained entirely way too much wealth and will never stop demanding more. It's like they just don't get it. WORK HARDER! I DEMAND TRIBUTE!"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Classic hypocritical neoliberal mindset: You don't owe anyone anything, except your company, who owes nothing to you.

place idealism above hard work

To translate from rich asshole, this means act ethically instead of do what I say.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Self destructive policies inside and out.

Glad I deleted my account. Fuck reddit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well I guess he's effected some change there in that he's got me working hard to avoid reddit.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Spez maybe should have worked harder at not destroying both shareholder value and the trust of the people that actually made the site what it was.

Like who is he working for here, because it doesn't seem like anyone's pleased about him

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Feature-wise I feel Lemmy is nearly identical to Reddit. The biggest advantage Reddit has is the communities and they've been basically hacking away at them for over a year.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Hey that's not fair. Reddit has been working hard at making itself more closed and on giving it a far shittier UI

If there was any justice, Aaron Swartz’ ghost wouldn’t let him have a moment’s rest.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

I can only imagine the world where we got to keep Aaron instead. 😭

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

The article failed to even mention our boy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like why would you want to work for these companies???
