Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Instead of saying “fuck spez” like a drone, pivot to saying “remember Aaron” (so that people who don’t know about him can learn something new)
The fediverse LARPs so much about being inclusive and diverse but you’re constantly betraying your tribal nature. Own it. If you’re on the Good People Team, prove it with more than empty, hateful accusations OR substantiate those accusations beyond in-group signaling.
Because this place is fundamentally the same echo chamber as reddit, and it faces the same peer pressure. The only thing that changes is the handle on the usernames, and the only way to be different is to completely ignore the upvote system and say what you actually think instead of what you expect other people to upvote you for (good job, you let your own mind regress to the mean).
Unless your thoughts are as shallow as your words… are they?
I mean, sure? Aaron Swartz didn’t really do much with Reddit at all. The infatuation with him in terms of Reddit is kinda weird.
He rewrote it from Lisp into Python, but that’s about it. He joined after the site was already live and was only there for about a year.
He fought for information to be free by pirating JSTOR papers, and he was persecuted and prosecuted for it, and he killed himself (or did he? [vsauce music]).
… And now we have SciHub. Which is the same exact fucking thing as what he was trying to accomplish.
Also he was instrumental to the invention of the RSS protocol:
As a programmer, Swartz helped develop the web feed format RSS; the technical architecture for Creative Commons, an organization dedicated to creating copyright licenses; and the Python website framework web.py.The same RSS protocol that spez completely killed off a few months ago. Aaron’s grave has been shat on so many times that it’s basically a latrine now. But the people who say “fuck spez” know none of this, and if they do, they’re cowards for not saying it out loud.
Yes his other work was far more instrumental. That’s also irrelevant to Reddit.
Read my edit. Spez killed off RSS a few months ago. The only irrelevance here is that of your opinions.
Aaaand right there you lost the argument.
No, it still has a couple of weeks. It will end on the 13th.
Which, again who cares what Reddit does? It only affects Reddit.
I’ve never seen two people both lose the argument at the same time.
Reddit was initially written in Lisp?! His main contribution to Reddit was actually a bad one then :(
Yeah it was written in Common Lisp. Spez wrote all the original code.
When they merged with Infogami, Swartz became coowner and rewrote it using his web.py that he developed.
That was the total extent he had with Reddit.

Aaron didn’t deserve the shit thrown his way.
My shallow schtick will remain.

Why say many words when four letter word do trick?
trik
It’s been a few months since I last criticised you for these replies… Why are you still doing this?
Genuinely pointless
Get some hobbies
I’m not worried about your opinion.
I know ;)

The audacity to utilise markdown headers and therefore draw attention to worthless shit like that is just baffling to me. We are already on Lemmy. Nobody wants to read that. I wouldn’t be so annoyed if they weren’t spamming this trash under every third post…
Blocking is the only way to go, unfortunately.
My man, I’m 100% with you on that. That being said - we have much bigger problems here than a guy exploiting his exposition tweaks. I just blocked him and that’s it, shame it’s not that easy with the tankie vermin.
It sucks to suck, Spez, you greedy pig boy.
Russia gets its biggest refinery blown up, Reddit stock tanks, I did some coke, this has been a great Halloween.
The worst social media site… in the wooooorld.
Jean-Ralphio!
Zoom on how the stock market liked the decision to kick out all the lurkers:
also the new reddit UI, if you arent using any of the apps like redlib, or a reskin extension, is very cumbersome and unsable.
Not to mention reming the ability to view /all
Redlib is also now unstable with rapid depreciation of rss feeds and old reddit. New community forks approach seems to be webscraping or using cookies like nitter.
Requiring login is going to limit their ad revenue.
Unfortunately, the login will just improve the personalization of ads.
It’ll improve the personalization of ads that are shown to bots, but all the people have left.
Judging by the numbers of upvotes on here, they haven’t left for Lemmy. So where are they?
I don’t know, every time google sends me to Reddit now and I see a login page I don’t bother looking. Probably won’t find anything useful inside anyway
I am guessing they did the math and this came on top
Don’t overestimate their intelligence.
Actually, do yourself a favour and listen to their q3 earnings report. These are some extremely cringy nerds with no value outside of having their forum become viral for being somewhat usable. Its obvious they have no idea what made Reddit usable and are trying to pivot into a live-service-esque walled garden.
They keep talking about making Reddit “Awesome”, with more “interactive lived experiences” (actual quotes by spez during the earnings rep, I would have sold too.
Cringy nerds is an understatement. They all think they’re Adonis ubermen and cannot stand even a few moments where they’re not aggressively huffing their own farts. They’re fucking losers. Fucking. Losers. Every single one of them.
I’m so tired of such fucking losers dictating our lives. It needs to stop. Nothing would make me happier than their shitty website just imploding. But that won’t happen now that we exist on a bot based economy.
All the nerds are gone. It’s just wallstreet Bros now
And whatever unholy amalgam spez is
Can I donate my old account to some bots?
I randomized and deleted all my previous comments and posts with a paid app. Boy did the mods and automods HATE that. The gall they had to call it spam, when it literally just says this comment has been randomized and deleted. And it was 13 or 14 years of thoughtful contributions. Like Reddit owns my contributions. I’m autobanned from most of the major subs for redacting all my content.
Lol it’s dropping even more? What is causing it. I would love to see some of the big data harvesters collapse.
I just hope that spez didn’t sell any stock, but only used it as collateral for loans. That way the piss baby won’t just end up broke, he’ll go into debt as well.
lmao
Fuck Spez
There’s only 1 solution: Persona
Also google Play Integrity API, shutting down old.reddit.com for some reason and blocking all browsers except Chrome and Safari. Also retinal scans for new accounts, karma farming bots only allowed for old accounts with stolen credentials, and blocking anyone who refers to war crimes against Palestinians as genocide.
Also, a new helpful AI assistant called Reddy that replaces interacting with other users and recommends products and collects user data.
Add a verified badge on your regurgitated content farm bot account for just $5.99 a month.
googles is in cahoots with reddit, if they want that data, they expect reddit to keep producing new AI-scrapable content.
