    Reminder: the CEO of Reddit is a gooey insufferable alt-right jackass and, from what a friend told me, they’re flirting with the idea of instituting paywalls for engaging in certain subreddits. I told that friend to come here and be done with it.

      don’t know if your description fully conveys the depravity of Steve “I’ll own slaves after the apocalypse” Huffman

          That’s such a specifically greasy 2003 time capsule of a guy to be. I’m pretty sure the mods of those places are contractually obligated to wear cheap suede button up shirts (never buttoned), put too much gel in their hair and have sunglasses permanently bolted over their orbital sockets

          I remember when he edited a bunch of comments (in a subreddit that memed and normalized Tr**p of all things) that were all dunking on him to make it look like they were actually dunking on the moderators instead. Spez wrote the “incel neckbeard mod” playbook & keeps finding new things to add.

          I don’t care how big of a stan he claims to be for net neutrality, because he only applies that energy towards his own selfish wants for his capitalist endeavours. When net neutrality was supposedly actually “killed” in 2017 I don’t recall him doing that much to spearhead any resistance en masse & the majority end-user response felt especially lackluster. It’s an armchair lodge.
