I love how this statement is dripping with condescension for the people who built the service he’s currently driving into the ground - all while thinking of himself as some kind of super genius.

People always call this a market failure while willfully ignoring that whenever markets are left unchecked, this is the inevitable outcome.

Also forced them into arbitration, then refused to arbitrate the dispute.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s turntable!

Though if I had to guess, it’s going to be stuff like “build a shit ton of nuclear power plants, use e fuels for cars, use green hydrogen, develop fusion power, and generally do all the things that allow us to believe that we have to change absolutely nothing in our lives.”

Boost, Slide and Sync are all coming to Lemmy. Lots of other great apps, too, though - I’ve recently been using Thunder and Connect.

Here’s a Lemmy Apps Directory with 27 apps for Lemmy.

I’ll start believing in Reddit’s commitment to direct democracy when users will be able to also vote out admins and u/spez if they don’t like their decisions.

Until then, it’s just corporatism under the guise of some fluffy words.

That meme is 11 years old now.

Shocking.

It’s pretty crazy how u/spez seems to focus on some random third party app developers making money off of Reddit.

He tries to couch this in language about AI and the cost of maintaining an API and that the API was never meant to support 3PAs, but then loops back to what sounds like insane hatred and envy of third party developers.

And then, in the same interview, he points out how unpaid moderators who do all the work and make Reddit all the money have too much power.

It’s lunacy.
