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.

Judging by the newsprint from today; it feels like spez is still lost in his own delusion.

Right now he's at the bargaining stage; trying to find out if he can weasel his way out of this shit. Fuck him. He dug his own career's grave there. I've already established a community here on lemmy.

He's lost control of the narrative. He tried to take Reddit hostage and failed to understand the unique dynamic between users, moderators, the third party ecosystem system and Reddit. It's clear that he doesn't see users or moderators, but data and money.

He would do well to simply shut up and hire a PR firm. In all reality, he's shown his hand and he might as well just do what he's threatened.
