I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don’t sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

I see the risk but I don’t think it’s that imminent.

As if bbc wouldn’t get you upvoted to oblivion

That’s a big yikes and I hope they will find another way…

I mean faking reviews is literally violating laws in some countries, so it’s not like there’s no basis.

considering they have employees saying their CEO needs to go, they are randomly banning users who post things approved by mods and in line with tos, they are banning even the most slimey mods for no reason and the CEO is putting out infinite inflammatory statements in a row, I’m sure the atmosphere in which the admins work is somewhere between -3 and -53.

and all of those things are from news just this week. So of course we’ll never know how much the admins are fucking up, but considering all of these things it’s like gardening in a tornado. I honestly wouldn’t put it on them; can’t assume they’re all the same as the CEO.

I am itching so much for the perfect episode of John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight commemorating the most absurd but effective protest in histor, sounding off the whole mess of a situation and poking some more at spez. It’ll be a feast.

That is incredible. It’s hilarious, it’s satirical, it’s a sharp criticism and it absolutely hammers the stupidity of every Reddit statement home.

What a great team.
