/u/spez has too much free time

Definitely on purpose and likely made on purpose to post in the internet.

I’m posting for Memmy now. It’s great but I’m not a fan of the logo nor the logo’s color scheme.

I’m using Memmy on ios and it’s a great experience.

I opened Reddit, saw no bean posts so I immediately closed it.

People do say it, this meme is weird.

We already concluded that Lemmy will upbean anything, not surprised this meme is popular.

They try to justify this by claiming they’re not profitable, while at the same time wasting so much time and money on terrible features and changes.

The reason why Reddit is not profitable is because of terrible management that tries to justify their existence.

That’s exactly why they want you to use it.

At least you opened the door today, nice progress!

I’m using Top Day when browsing All. This way, I don’t miss any of the fresh beany memes.

I was using i.reddit.com during this period. The default mobile website was completely unusable.

Of course, they recently removed i.reddit.com, similar to the third party apps. They achieved the desired user growth and are now transitioning into the aggressive monetization phase.

Good luck making money off of me while I’m using Lemmy instead of Reddit.

I’m optimistic about the future but unfortunately change happens at a slow pace.

At this point in time, reddit cares about numbers, not competency. It doesn’t matter If a sub (or the entire site) degrades over time, as long as IPO numbers are maximized so they can cash in.

What did /u/spez mean by “his joke” when referring to apollo creator in one of the ama comments?

I was expecting some humility, admission of faults and an olive branch.

Instead, the CEO just doubled down and comes to the AMA with canned, smug responses. What a joke.

While failing to mention the contribution that third party apps made to reddit’s popularity.

They also promised to support third party clients for a long time - classic bait and switch.

I commend the shutdown but if things get out of hand reddit admins will take over the popular subs. They won’t let a prime sub get shut down by mods.

Reddit is losing it’s most precious users: power users, technical users, veteran users, etc

Open sourcing won’t do much because the value of reddit are its users, not the code.

They would have to join the fediverse to rebuild to trust but of course there is 0% chance of that because their focus is $$$.

I agree with you that the feeling of no keymaster if very liberating.

Spot on. Lemmy is how the Internet was supposed to be.
