Been in IT for over 15 years and this was exactly what I was thinking too. But the top is how I felt 10-15 years ago. Now, after years of dealing with the dumbest users and the craziest decisions from tech companies, I’m more Shaw than Picard.
Oh wow, I made this meme! So happy to see it shared on Lemmy, my new home 🥹
It was a truly insane statement, and yet perfectly on brand for Reddit during all of this. I’m very happy that The Verge handled it so perfectly.
Seeing a lot of comments about them “abandoning the community” and it makes my blood boil. These people have worked for free for years and all they’ve gotten for it is more and more headaches. Reddit has shown what the future looks like for everyone on the platform. It’s authoritarian control from the dumbest motherfuckers you can imagine. Why keep investing time in that? They didn’t abandon the community,Reddit did. Moving on is the only option.
The acquisition of upvotes is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better Lemmy and the rest of the internet.
It really did make my day to see it pop up here. Thanks for sharing, and glad you liked it.
