I actually sent spez a private message on my way out, calling out what an arrogant hypocrite he is. He probably won't ever read it, but man it felt good writing it.

No, you had it right the first time. I'm saying if you subscribe to a magazine, there's a good chance that magazine is autofederating content based on tags, so you are getting more from the magazine than just what is deliberately posted into that magazine.
Funny how everybody who hated on us back in the day are all on board now.
I'm not sure how Lemmy works, but over on kbin I can set up my magazine (collection of threads similar to a subreddit) to autofederate content based on certain tags. For example, I run the DwarfFortress magazine, and I have it set up to automatically federate content in the fediverse based on the existence of a #dwarffortress tag. Now, I haven't seen that happen yet, so I'm not 100% if it works or not, but it looks like the option is potentially there.
Right, like.... take like Hulu. $+5/mo and I don't see ads? I don't even have to think. Done.
allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable.
blinks loudly What could go wrong? 🤣
/r/ModCoord is polling subs, a lot of support still for indefinite blackout
Despite what advertising executives believe, the majority of us would gladly pay if it meant not having to deal with ads. I hate ads so much.
I think you're right. It's been my impression that a lot of the people over at Reddit who don't care, are the ones who are reading, not writing. I've sadly gone back, to at least provide an alternative with a magazine I started, and it feels very uncomfortable now.
Linux as an OS is just so much better about getting good performance out of the hardware, and keeping itself out of the way. I've converted a lot of people to Linux over the year in an effort to get better performance on older systems. They couldn't afford to buy a new computer, and usually just wanted to be able to check email and go on the web. Slap Ubuntu on and they were always shocked how much better everything ran, but was still easy to use.
Had a Burger King near me die. It seemed sudden, because one day I went there and got lunch, and the next day it was closed forever. But in retrospect, yeah, you run for like 9 months with only 2-3 workers on, you're not giving a very good impression, and it's inevitable.
I don't blame the workers in any of that, they were doing their best. If BK wasn't going to pay a livable wage, that's their own fault, nobody wants to work a job that isn't going to pay their bills.
@v13 Here's what I wrote to him, in case you're interested.
Dear /u/Spez,
I am tired of the value I provide as a contributor and user of Reddit not being fairly compensated while Reddit makes money. I'm gone until I start getting more money than you do for my content. It's not fair that you should be making money for something I freely provide.
Yeah, that's YOUR argument, funny how it doesn't go both ways, isn't it? You're such a hypocrite, and your ego has killed any desire for me to interact with Reddit anymore. You provide infrastructure, and you provide a name brand, and that's all you provide you arrogant little man. Your users provide all the value to Reddit, and they don't get paid either. Stop acting like you provide any fucking value, because you don't. You are pathetic.
