“Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”

    I’m starting to give credence to the idea that spez is a scapegoat for the change (but he a worthless piece of shit regardless).

    I wonder if Ellen Pao would let us make a meme of her eating popcorn?

      The discomboulator is that the changes could have been had without need of a scapegoat.

      It took a shocking amount of arrogance and contempt for the builders of that playground (the ‘little people’ who made this all possible) to so badly foul such a simple thing.

      And opening the mouth only to change feet.

      Extraordinary failure. One for the history books.

      Spez made Spez the scapegoat by making a public spectacle of himself as the new face of corporate greed.

      If he hadn’t doubled and tripled down on the idea that he could do whatever he wants and people would just take it because they can’t live without Reddit then no one would probably be talking about him right now.

      I’m sure seeing “fuck spez” plastered everywhere on r/place right now has him weeping all over the giant pile of money he sleeps on
