Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.
So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?
Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
Come to reddit, we have CEO who's an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.
If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"
I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?
To be fair, I would imagine that this event had some rule about not advertising in the chat in the ToS or stream rules fine print somewhere.
And as much as I dislike Steve and Reddit, I agree with Reddit on this one. You (or anyone else) shouldn't be abusing the chat of a competing service stream to advertise a different one. It is not the place for that and is rude. Please do not give existing Reddit users reason to believe all Lemmy users are rude rule breakers.
