Seems there are plenty of Reddit bootlickers lined up ready to oust all the protesting moderators. https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1668683335718035457
Worse still, the mods at r/Apple caved and voluntarily reopened instead of letting Reddit replace them: https://web.archive.org/web/20230616040715/https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/apple/comments/14al426/rapple_blackout_what_happened/
They also have no intention of moving their community anywhere else… https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/jo6k0ox/
It’s been a while since I made the above comment, and I’m surer now. There’s got to be some corporate raiding at play with regard to IPO. Really bad optics that seem almost deliberate.
It legitimately feels like they’re putting every single effort regardless of consequence into the IPO, then selling out / taking severance / etc. Iunno, it’s their problem and not ours now 😁
The corporatist to fascist pipeline, and all that. It’s our problem in that Meta is already casting its eye at the fediverse. Lemmy and its ilk are a threat to corpo hegemony in the social media space, and if they can ruin it, they will. Spoiler warning: they can.
