@TheConversationUS Oh, the irony. The wonderful BRILLIANT irony.

reddit has become a toxic shithole, like almost all social media before it. To do an AMA on reddit, now that Spez has melted down and destroyed the site, well it *almost* makes me want to log in to watch.

Almost.

I was a very active user of #redditisfun for several years, but at least since its shutdown I've been exploring the beautiful handiwork of other talented indie app devs. #redditMigration #redditblackout #redditisdead

The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so

The moderators of Reddit’s IAmA community are significantly reducing the amount of work they do to help solicit and coordinate AMAs with celebrities and high-profile individuals.

The Verge

Good job, Spez. Really. Well done.

“Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund valued its holdings in Reddit at $15.4 million as of May 31, according to the fund’s monthly disclosure released Friday. That’s down 7.36% from the $16.6 million mark at April’s closure and altogether a slide of 45.4% since its investment in August 2021. The updated share value suggests a $5.5 billion valuation for Reddit.”

Have to say I'm impressed and thankful for #Lemmy and #Mastodon. The #Fediverse feels kind of like the good old #Usenet did back in the day. Goodbye #Reddit #redditisdead. #twitterisdead.

Watching the #Reddit CEO come out as the complete narcissist that he is. Going to be deleting my account, no point staying there anymore. They're lying about conversations with third party devs, treating them and the users as garbage when they'd be nothing without us.

There's over 12,000 comments on the post (I know some are replies to top-level comments) and he's answered less than 20 questions. Complete PR BS.
