Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez. // Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there's nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word "removed"
Personal comment: the critter isn't even dead but the vultures are already flying in circles around it. I certainly do not envy their situation, I bet that the users will treat them like shit.
You're viewing a single thread.
Don't sweat the small stuff. It's dead. Let it go.
You're posting "so what, who cares" on a community specifically dedicated to watching the reddit implosion. What do you think would be more appropriate content for this community?
(If your answer is "nothing, let it go" then maybe you should block the community instead of what's tantamount to complaining that it exists?)
Yes, watching the implosion. But there's nothing implosive about this move. Hence, 'don't sweat the small stuff.'
They're not shooting themselves in the foot again. It's just an administrative function, moving on with what remains of their business, like paying their electric bill.
And here's a friendly observation. Telling others what they should do comes across as grandiose.
I disagree that this isn't implosive. If it had been normal users who applied in the comment sections of those calls for volunteers, it would be uninteresting, but powermods in particular are a frequent issue when it comes to mod abuse and the like, and seeing their spread to even more large subs is something that was both frequently-predicted and interesting to watch.
To your last sentence: The closer of "let it go" made your comment sound like the hundreds of other similar comments who want to stop seeing content about reddit. I offered the advice because there seem to be a lot of people browsing their "All" feeds and coming away upset there's so much content that displeases them. Similar advice is usually either met with either a clarification that makes the discussion more productive (which you did) or an admission that a block is the right course of action--both of which are a net positive for all involved. The "grandiose" tone or intent you imagine I had is your own cross to bear.
It is not dead, it's still moving! Oh wait it's because insects are carrying its body.
Exactly, reddit has been shit ever since 2016. I'm so happy I found this place. Reminds me of the old days.
