STOP saying “fuck u/spez” START saying “FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” - Lemmy.world

“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise. “FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor) Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

Lmao you sweet summer child. You think firing him will do shit? The company has cancer. They are trying to to public. Nothing is going to fix whats wrong with the company now. It's terminal.

Also, firing spez does nothing because this wasn’t spez’s decision.

If you look at the history of Reddit’s API, it had a fee until spez became CEO again and made it free. This was when the 3PA took off.

Being the CEO does not mean that you get to actually make major decisions for the company. Think of the CEO as the face of the board of directors. They are the ones that approve/deny major changes.

You want the board changed, not spez.

Overall you nailed it, but the terminology you used to summarize those roles is really cringe.

Is that what you say everytime you fail to comprehend a response? Tell me how that makes any sense.

Nah mate it’s what I say to americans that see basic political terms as cringe because america has turned their entire system into a politically illiterate joke. You’d also probably get a bit of a culture shock if you realised that comrade is still in common use in labour parties all over europe too.

You didn’t say comrade, or bourgeois. You said techbro ghouls and elite bougie prick. Then proceeded to slander me as a bootlicker despite me agreeing with your point.

Bougie is just shorthand for bourgeoisie you think I want to type that out every fucking time? Half the time I have to double take just to be sure I’m not spelling it wrong even after the 500,000th time writing it.
