When the user revolt ends—if it ever does—Reddit’s community won’t ever be the same.

“They’re shooting themselves in the foot,” Mir says. “The content of the users is what makes the platform worth visiting. These hosts kind of run into this confusion that their hosting is the reason people are going there, but it’s really for the other users on the medium.”

I doubt anyone on the Reddit payroll tells spez the unvarnished truth right now. Musk’s employees infamously curate their interactions with him. I read somewhere about one (I want to say working in info-sec for Tesla) who kept an extra monitor with a Matrix style scroll of bullshit because it matched Musk’s perception of what a busy person in that field should have up.

It also came out that Musk’s businesses have a Musk disaster mitigation team that reverses his bad decisions, and “guide” him. But Twitter didn’t have that, so that is why his reign has been so disastrous.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
