And he's probably correct. Mark Zuckerberg once called Facebook users "dumb fucks" but plenty of people still use Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The addicts will return to the drug.
What gave you that idea? The fact that spez (the ceo) was head-mod for /r/jailbait? Or was it spez firing the AMA mod that had -massive- community engagement? Or was it spez bullying one of the top reddit-app developers (Christian, Apollo reddit-app developer)?
Reddit /obviously/ respects each and every user, the app developers, the subreddit mods, and it shows! /s
There’s no need to slander the guy with false information. Reddit used to allow the moderators of a subreddit to automatically make someone a moderator of that subreddit. Then, as things like people being added as an r/jailbait mod against their wishes became widespread, Reddit changed to an invite system which required a user to accept an invite to be a moderator.
Here is a post on Reddit from 10 years ago describing in depth how the ‘new’ mod invite system works and also stating that you could be made a moderator against your wishes: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/117wkp/reddit_ch...
Spez was not an actual moderator of r/jailbait, he was added against his wishes. Please don’t spread harmful lies about the guy, there’s enough true things about him to criticize.
You forgot ‘stealth edited the posts of other users by editing the database directly’ in his list of crimes, don’t forget that along with the firing of the AMA person and lying about the Apollo dev. Those things are all based in reality.
Spinning it to the dev saying he was referring to Apollo as a "noisy API user" was really suspect, imo. I've never heard a heavy API user being called "noisy" and why even mention a number for a buy out multiple times? The "mostly joking" was a cop out as well. Is it a joke or not? Because when he was asked for clarification, he clarified $10m and 6 months again.
Moderation is a hierarchy and the CEO is the head of a company.
A CEO moderator is THE HEAD moderator.
Your attempt to quibble over meaning instead of acknowledging that the most powerful position in the company took on a powerful position of moderation…
… for /r/jailbait …
There’s no amount of spin you can put on this to make what I said any less correct or damning.
