Two IMO on-point excerpts of the article:
The highest-ranked replies are very critical of the post. “What good is our feedback when reddit seems perfectly happy to ignore all of it?” wrote one user. “What’s the point?” Another pointed out that Huffman called mods “landed gentry.” “Show, don’t tell,” wrote another user — to which the admin replied, “Agreed.”
“A beginning of what?” replied one user. “This solves nothing, and just wastes everybody’s time.”
Reddit’s administration is sounding more and more like an abusive SO trying to gaslight you into staying in the relationship. “Baby I’ll listen to you, I swear.”
You must log in or register to comment.
So, we’ve all had a… time on Reddit lately,” said the admin. “And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the ‘now what?’ conversation.”
I love how they’re just acting like they’ve just had an argument and now it’s over and they’re ready to move on after changing absolutely nothing.
It’s like being verbally abused at home and you walk out, come back the next day and your partner is like “glad you got that out of your system” and expecting you to go back to “normal” without any sort of apology.
Argument with who even? We all are over here, having already left!? :-P
There comes a point where those that choose to remain are just asking for it, maybe?
The 95% of people who didn’t have the good sense to leave
gives me conniptions
Gaslighting is exactly right. They also did a fair amount of goalpost shifting, cited non-existent rules to engage in punitive/retaliatory behavior against anyone who wasn’t 100% on the party line, etc.
And don’t forget outright libel against the Apollo dev before he came back with recordings.
Are they expecting to fool anyone?
The CEO called them landed gentry, even while mods run reddit day to day for free, and the admins told them to fuck off and eat all the shit changes.
I’d like to peek into the brain of whoever made that post and look at all the mental gymnastics going on in there.
At this point probably not saying anything would be better?
Go die in a fire is the only feedback I have.
Why in the world would anyone want to go back to relying on a company that can’t be trusted when they can be as independent as they could possibly want to be?
It’s a trap.
…are we still reviving old maymays?
That one is timeless.
