Lol
I was against giving them the engagement but this is goooood
The engagement is fleeting but the spoiling of the narrative is forever.
Never forget he accused the Apollo dev of blackmail and doubled-down on the claim even after evidence disproved it.
Pretty sure that’s a crime in most places.
Crimes only count if poor people do them
That’s incredibly awesome. What a fantastic way to end it!
Honestly i’m sure this is the best thing that could happen for the reddit execs in terms of user engagement. Writing “fuck spez” on reddit is like shouting “save the planet” from a cruise ship.
How much coordination did this take? You’re only able to do a certain about of pixels right? Or did it freefall at the last minute?
i had this question a couple of days ago and today fell totally down the fuck spez rabbithole.
found myself on the main discord where the coordinators were talking to uruguay about doing the “u” after columbia (?) declined. guess hearing that, both uruguay and equador wanted in.
there was discussion of not stepping over the swiss flag in one of the letter because they were part of the coalition.
these folks are dedicated - many commented they hadn’t really slept since it went live. kudos to all of them for the passion they showed today.
tbh it was impressive and one of the best executed operations i’ve seen in a long time. very fun to see up close.
working for a global multinational company i only wish we were this efficient internally ❤️
It also successfully distracted the userbase and isolated their protests from the rest of the site.
People make fun of Place but I think they knew exactly what they were doing.
Glorious.
… And just like that, Reddit is down site-wide. Awfully convenient.
Just a small database patch, don’t mind spez doing some deleteItem calls.
We all want to have an immortal legacy. Any good he’s ever done is going to be overshadowed.
You can build 1000 bridges and fuck one clown. You won’t be known as a bridge builder but a clown fucker.

Nice and all, but pretty pointless if you stay there after.
