Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW to prevent Reddit from monetizing it with ads.
Update: !ios_dev@programming.dev has been created, temporarily managed by @Ategon@programming.dev until some mods volunteer for it
Doesn’t having it private mean it wasn’t a community of 150k? It was a community of 1.
I understood taking subs NSFW to keep advertising out, but taking them private was causing the community to die. Once that went beyond a few days it was time to shift platform.
Ya know as a rabid egalitarian socialist who idolizes John Brown I feel that slavery is universally wrong. So why do I suddenly feel the want to ebslave Spez for about a week?
oh yeah, but it’s also fun to bully the head dweeb who put himself in the position to be the face of this massive company.
He’s not exactly the fall guy, he’s the co-founder who was on the “victory lap” of steering the ship after the last fall guy (Ellen Pao) took the heat and he steered the ship into another problem before installing another fall guy.
I mean, that is unless we’re talking about who is embedded into the company from outside entities. Have a look at Reddit’s Director of Policy, who she worked for before and where, and try to post her name or history on Reddit. In my experience, it gets you permanently banned.
Don’t know if just a typo, but for large parts of the Anglosphere, spaz is an unacceptable ableist slur. It’d be great if you could find a different way to insult Huffman, ta.
At this point, to me, it’s fuck reddit, spez is just a scapegoat that does what the board wants and all other admin happy to comply, he doesn’t own it like elon owns twitter
Yep. Some of us remember when it was Fuck Ellen Pao, they seem to like their sacrificial CEOs over there, though I’m sure they get paid too much to be the scapegoat.
That just makes me stop and think about how bad Musk loves being That Guy. The other ones will take the heat and then float away on their golden parachutes, you never really hear from them again. Not him. He keeps making new companies so he can be That Guy at them.
You’re right, they’re pretty different, though you can post from Mastodon to Lemmy I don’t know if you can do the reverse.
As others have said Firefish is a better fit, also Misskey is nice (long live Ai chan!)

Thank you for your service. Now watch the place burn.
Lemmy users are fuck heads. Just because you don’t like Apple doesn’t make every dev the bad guy. Fuck off.
I think you might be a little confused friend.
So ahhh… Lost Lemmer?
fucking
Who are the mods now?
Some attention hungry incompetent wannabes?
So Spez himself?
tomato tomato
You did well, thanks for sticking to it until the end.

You know that all Apple devices are Unix too? You’re not making a point and do not know what you’re talking about.

FUCK SPEZ (Steve Huffman)
reminder that spez has literally admitted (in a print article) that he foresees himself being a slave owner
Ya know as a rabid egalitarian socialist who idolizes John Brown I feel that slavery is universally wrong. So why do I suddenly feel the want to ebslave Spez for about a week?
What!? Where? I haven’t heard that one yet
Reminder that Reddit is a massive company and they’re using spez as fall guy and it’s completely working. It’s the only reason he has a job still.

Reddit is officially state apparatus?
Always has been
Don’t know if just a typo, but for large parts of the Anglosphere, spaz is an unacceptable ableist slur. It’d be great if you could find a different way to insult Huffman, ta.
Yeah i think it was autocorrect, I’ll fix that no sweat

That Guy sounds like a henchman of The Man
They sound pretty shady…

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.
On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

More Lemmy users need to be like you.
Why are Lemmy users Assholes.
Because Lemmy users are also humans and humans are assholes.
Because most Lemmy users are ex (or current) reddit users.
That sucks maybe you can restart your community here

Is there a Mastodon alternative?
There are so many I lost count:
And perhaps many more. Heck, even Kbin has microblogging support.
Firefish
Smile, you’re already on
Candid Camerait!Mastodon and Lemmy don’t have great interoperability. They use the ActivityPub protocol in ways that are not compatible with each other.
You’re right, they’re pretty different, though you can post from Mastodon to Lemmy I don’t know if you can do the reverse.

Yea, go to another Mastodon instance
This is the way
So say we all.
This is the saying.
Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements
Thank you for your service o7
