MODERATORS
This is not a hot take, people are aware of the dissonance of using Reddit to complain about Reddit. But many folks are still upset but not upset enough to leave, or would like to leave but aren’t ready for places like Lemmy yet. It still needs work and polish before the average Joe will be comfortable here.
So in the meantime I say go for it, having fuck spez be one of the main focal points of the whole canvas is incredible and sends a message. Yea most folks have heard about it by now but might be surprised users are still upset, or never really understood what the big deal was before but maybe they look into it now. Every bit of negative sentiment on Reddit about Reddit will slowly push users away. This is more than a bit of negative sentiment.
Thank you, now it actually makes more sense to me!
I’d also like to add that this might be good publicity (or negative for Reddit). r/place gets mentioned in the news too.
Iirc Forbes ran an article about it.
Yeah, we need to make it more similar to Reddit with things like flairs and a more intuitive browsing system
There are still people OOTL on reddit, and there are also people who have no clue who u/spez is. Until people start calling out Steve Huffman by name for being a greedy pig boy, it won't have much mainstream effect. A significant chunk of reddit's userbase is relatively young (last 5 years or so) and have very little in the way of context.
