“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

    I agree, but more just trying to move the meaningless into something meaningful. Reddits gonna die most likely because capital is gonna capital. But at the very least this dickwad could go, he’s an asshole, and the company would be marginally better without him, and idk karma would be nice if it was possible no?

      I agree that it would be nice if Huffman got the boot, but I think it wouldn’t be good to let the other managing scumbags say, “hey, big scumbag gone, no one here but us Good Guys™,” which might be what they’re already planning to do.

      It isn’t meaningful. It’s just picking one fall guy for your ire, and not coincidentally it’s the only Reddit executive anyone knows. Just leave the site if you don’t like the direction the Board is taking the company. Otherwise you’re still driving their user engagement numbers.
