He looked at Twitter and said, “Oh, that’s how you get Nazis to the front page. Let’s do that.”

Reddit and Twitter were were I found all my left wing organizations and protests from 2015-2021. I’m not surprised the same formula is being used on both of them.

I see you're on the same site I am, so FYI - there is an edit link under the "more" menu under your comments! (reply / boost / more)

How long until Reddit gets evicted from their office?

[–] robyr@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

303 2nd St is EXPENSIVE office space. I live about a block away and my old company used to rent a floor there. We were profitable and it was too expensive for us. If they get evicted a scant couple months after moving into the new space I will laugh my ass off.

It's amazing how shitheads tend to clump together!

[–] funkyb@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago

The same twitter that has gone in the shithole and is so bad that they're literally getting courts to order their eviction for not paying rent.

To bad there's no decentralized content aggregation platform where people can subscribe and comment between different sites...oh wait

[–] Wisely@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

If something like that existed I would sign up and make dumb comments like this.

With all the (rightful) hate Elon and the Twitter debacle had on Reddit, it's a super good look to show your admiration of the very person your platform hated

To be fair, if I ran a competing social media site, I'd also be happy about recent Twitter changes.

Well golly.

What a surprise.

[–] 42triangles 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly I am surprised.

I didn't expect much, but I expected more than this quite frankly.

I am tired of all these two-bit villains running tech companies.

[–] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

The saddest part about this is that Elon probably doesn't think anything about Huffman at all. Imagine having a CEO-boner for Musk of all people to the point where you talk about him during interviews and can only vaguely hint that you've "talked" when pressed for details.

Chief, I'm gonna be honest and say I didn't see this one coming.

Keep digging, idiot.
