Disappointed that NPR didn’t elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

Wasn’t he a mod of /r/jailbait?

Yeah, but that was when you could make someone else mod and they didn’t have to accept. One of the mods did that to him. Once he learned about he, he left the position and they pushed out a change shortly where you had to accept the mod position. People did it to troll others, specifically like that.

No mistake, no love lost on him, but he was a mod as a joke, and he removed himself when he was aware of it

I believe this, either way there’s enough other questionable content around Spez to criticize him, like how he said they wouldn’t remove Coronavirus misinformation despite all the largest subs wanting it removed, much like the current blackout.

I don’t even care what happens to spez or reddit any more. I came to the fediverse out of spite, but I stayed for the amazing community. Spez can do what he likes, this is my home now.

God, HuffPost titles are so sensationalist and insufferable. I remember now why I blacklisted this site on my newsfeed.

Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.

Yes! Yes!! YES!!! GASLIGHT ME HARDER, DADDY!

Is that why almost every subreddit shut down for 24 hours? Lol

Do you reckon it’s innacurate? I’m not really sure. No one seemed thrilled about the plan that spoke about it there, but then if I didn’t know or care what any of this hoo ha was about I’d likely not comment or read anything on the matter.

The community shut downs are huge, but that decision is controlled by smaller groups who are the ones particularly affected by the proposed changes to how Reddit goes about things from now on.

It’s in his interests to promote what he’s saying as true, but I don’t know if it actually is untrue. Would be nice, I’d like to see them fall flat on their face with this but what he’s saying doesn’t sound all that implausible.

Hopefully he lives up to those words.
