Reddit's CEO is now comparing the people who've done the most to make the site popular to "landed gentry" -- demonstrating that he's both over-the-top arrogant and ignorant.

He's also threatening to change the rules of the site to make it easier to remove moderators. Yes, that'll definitely encourage more people to build communities there.

If anyone should be removed, it's him.

@dangillmor reddit used to be my favorite place on the internet. They have thrown away so much community goodwill. Right now I don’t feel like ever going back. It is a pity for a bunch of the small, niche communities there.

@st3ph3n @dangillmor hopefully small niche communities are also those that can most easily coordinate a migration to lemmy

@st3ph3n @dangillmor Been there 11 years and using Apollo a big chunk of it. Don’t think I can go back. I feel so adrift right now.
