Christian SeligWell, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

@christianselig Yup, seems about right!
Emmy@christianselig this is so frustrating to read 🙃
Joe@fedicat @christianselig it is at once repulsive and arresting, morbidly fascinating like rotting fruit. Overall, Steve Huffman: massive spanner. That’s the verdict chaps.
Eshu Marneedi@christianselig Can't even get their lies straight. Of course.
Fuck u/spez.
ash@christianselig wonder what investors think that the CEO straight up lies, how would that look to investors after IPO’ing?
Camiel Hirschberg@christianselig At this point, I can't wait for the IPO to go through and huff being voted out (if he doesn't already just sell all stock and leave) and new CEO doing a course correction to stop the massive churn.
Joe@iwamoto @christianselig I would comeback to Reddit if u/spez was voted out and they made a correction on third party apps like Apollo. I would keep my mastodon and lemmy account and be active on all three
airik@iwamoto @christianselig He likely only cares about cashing out. That’s why you IPO.
wethegreenpeople@christianselig tl;dr "Yeah actually I lied earlier, I actually really like money"
Dean, Steven@christianselig An app like Apollo gaining support for the new federated communities like kbin would do a lot to drive growth, which would snowball to user migration. I know it’s not that simple, and that you’re already thinking about that, but I figured I’d add an upvote to the idea.
@deancommasteven @christianselig That would actually be a great move, just as with previous events, have a little startup message letting people know kbin is a great alternative.
@iwamoto @christianselig Absolutely. I figure Ivory drove a lot of growth here.

@christianselig makes me sick that Huffman looks up to Musk.
Randomstickman 
@christianselig the concept of someone looking at Twitter and said "yup, that looks good" is so alien to me
@RandomStickman @christianselig yeah what the fuck

@christianselig It’s not like we didn’t know the truth. Why hide it anyway? Of all the newer options out there like Post, Spoutible, Counter Social, etc and Mastodon, I like Mastodon the best. I only really used Reddit when I found Apollo. I seldom check in anymore. How a platform is run matters to me. Not interested in Twitter or Reddit anymore.
HellbentHobo@christianselig Why don't you just stop being poor and drop 20mil whenever we feel like it to bring users to our site because we can't be bothered making it functional?
Gerakion@christianselig I get the impression spez has been bottling up a lot of his personal opinions on social media that he knew were unpopular and kept quiet.
Now he's pissed and finally decided to rip off the mask. He probably doesn't realize how much of a 180 pivot it is.
Reddit needs a new CEO.
Milk@christianselig something tells me Steve didn’t get enough milk when he was younger. He sounds like he has a fragile skeleton.
Xodium (moving, check bio)@christianselig Yeah uh, I deleted my accounts when the internal memo circulated and literally everything that has come out since then has reassured me that was the right move.
Huffman trying to be diet Musk has convinced me to just blacklist reddit entirely.
yuletide@christianselig Imagine seeing Elon destroy twitter and piss off the entire world and thinking "Hey, that's a great idea."
Just insane shitbrain stuff.
Thaiis Thei 𓁟@christianselig Bwahahahahahaha!
mike805@christianselig When will someone get around to flushing Facebook and all its evil spawn down the same toilet?
Kendall Seabury@christianselig did not have this on my “Reddit dumpster fire” bingo. Seems like I missed a big one.
Elengale@christianselig This saga gets stranger and more irritating with each and every turn.
Rafael “Akai” Masoni@christianselig That’s disgusting.
Dr. Mantis Teabaggin@christianselig How anybody with more than half of a brain cell looks at what elon has done with twitter and thinks “Yeah, I should emulate that” is beyond me.
paradoxmo@christianselig effin’ A. I think the picture is slightly more complicated, I think the people who talked to you initially were still trying to do things in good faith and they expressed that to you, but little did they know that their management had no such intention and would just override them.
furina 💧⚖️@christianselig there you go 🤣 they took the Elon route. Rest in piece, Reddit.

This will age about as well as a 1990’s CEO of Sears praising the foresight of the CEO of Blockbuster.

No Fun Berg@christianselig I’m using Apollo to delete all my Reddit posts. One by one. Really hammering their API, should cost them a few billion.
@nofunberg @christianselig
You know reddit is just putting deleted posts back up after the account is removed, right?

@Loc_Nar I haven’t deleted my account yet, so I could just leave it with no activity.
LANdalf the Grey@christianselig Not surprised
funkyb@christianselig good grief, i knew he was in over his head but the man is really going headfirst into nutjob town isn't he?
@christianselig it takes a very special type of brain (not a good type) to look at current Twitter and think that's a good formula to copy.
@christianselig oh my god this is so embarrassing. What a fucking tool.
Greg Spradlin
Adam B@christianselig
I can't think of a worse person to emulate.
Soon they’ll stop paying contractors, rent, and everybody else.
I guess we wait for the next reddit?

John von Seggern@ahbradford @christianselig Lemmy/kbin is already here in the Fediverse.
AR@christianselig Unless ol' boy also comes from an inexhaustible supply of blood money from a family enterprise, he'd be unwise to emulate his birbsite pal.
@christianselig I would definitely post this on the Apollo app subreddit to make sure it gets the furthest possible reach
Matt Collins@christianselig what an asshole
Karen Strickholm@christianselig What a pack of fools!
CannedTuna@christianselig no fucking way. Spez is just absolutely so self unaware. It’s almost tragic.
KanaMauna@christianselig So, which fascist is bankrolling him?
@christianselig Reddit had a good run. Guess it's over.
Jason Cox@christianselig Man, I have nothing to say about that guy that wouldn’t get me banned from this Mastodon instance.
Zima Peru@christianselig Reddit has been primed for right-wing takeover for awhile now. I think people credit Twitter with more of what The_Donald did.
chris overcash@ZimaPeru @christianselig I sort of gather that Alexis was interested in banning t_d early on and Steve was for keeping it (he was already a red pilled bunker boy by then) which is why Alexis separated himself and has maintained radio silence on it all since.

Called it! How they handled the whole thing from the start, even clumsily falling over their own lies and threats just stinks of Musky flavoured ego.

BanditHeelerBlues@christianselig I for one am surprised he could pull his head out of his ass long enough to get advice from anyone.
