I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much.

Recently I’m seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don’t. Otherwise I would’ve left a lot sooner.

Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

    And the actual real life people who run reddit encouraged them, or ousted them for actual real life people who would do it.

    The shitty people who enable shitty policy are shitty, but I try to focus on the fact that they’re just enablers.

      But it’s those enablers fault. They have names. Blaming just “reddit” lets them off the hook too easy. We should use their names to attack them, instead of the faceless, cold business they are just milking for cash. The business is the tool. The person using it is the dirtbag.

        They don’t - they’re all just anonymous admins and mods.
