Lol at the sign-language interpreter, like Reddit gives half a shit about accessibility now.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Sign language yes, real time captions no. Only whatever live transcription crap your phone or computer could do
Of the three people involved in Reddit's creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit's greater vision.
Swartz was a far better person.
Those are always the guys that wrest control though. They have no contributions, so instead they spend their time scheming.

You know, I realize all the people who put in money want a return on their investment. I get it.
But what I can't forgive is killing 3rd party clients when your official client sucks all the donkey balls in every reality in every universe.
You couldn't come to a reasonable and sane fee for 3rd party clients? Barring that, you couldn't just buy a superior client like RiF and bolt your name on it?
Fuck Spez.
They did buy a superior client. Alien Blue it was called. Then internal politics killed it. Even today Alien Blue would still be a better experience, without any updates in the last five years.
This is what always got to me that I don't think people focus on enough. It's such an anti-consumer pattern. Instead of improving the official reddit app, or buying out a third party one, they simply shot the competition in the knees.
If you want everyone on the official app, be competitive and invest into making it not suck donkey balls. Obviously that's far too much work.

There are a hundred different ways they could have reached a compromise on third party app support if it was just about API limits. They killed it because they want to gather mobile app telemetry like everyone else does these days.

Oh so now they don't like ads
Only ads that serve them are allowed
I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.
I bet you are right lol
Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s
Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.
Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP's comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.
Good point.
There were many like that, lol!

Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?
If I’m guessing correctly, it’s a modcon, which makes it even more pathetic for mods to attend an event hosted by the very people who have given them grief this past few months, just so they can feel special with their own exclusive event.
Yes, that's what it was. I went in just to mess when Spez was gonna talk.

I got banned because I said "lemmy dot world" in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.
We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding.
lol you fucking legend.
Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.
Heard this is a myth but by all means continue to propagate this rumor 🥳
If i recall, at the time sub owners could designate anyone as a moderator without them having to accept the position, meaning that its very possible he was made a mod of the subreddit as a joke/troll but never actually interacted with it.
Hes still a dipshit though

If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"

My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.
My permaban was for saying it is a moral obligation to punch nazis lmao

Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked
-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well
lmao
Screw Reddit and spez. You did well, OP!
He did a talk and Q&A in England awhile back at I believe Oxford and he kept checking his watch, it just seemed rude.

he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.
What a fun little image that conjures up.
I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?
