Man they really showed Spez who is boss by contributing to all the engagement KPIs they’re going to use to position the opening valuation of the IPO. Truly the most epic prank of all!

If you want to get back at Reddit, forget it exists. Stop giving them traffic. Stop contributing to their daily active user account, and participating in activities that boost KPIs for their IPO. Encourage your friends to do the same. The way to devalue Reddit is letting it fall into irrelevance, not making cute little “Fuck Spez” drawings on r/place.

Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.

This is fucking amazing.

Same super weird thing people on Mastodon do with “bird site.”

I couldn’t agree more. Racing to block Threads when it’s completely unclear if Threads will even actually ever federate and what the implications of them federating will even be seems incredibly short sighted. Imagine how much innovation would have been lost on the internet if web server admins raced to block Google Chrome from accessing their content because they have some personal beef with Google.

Man it’s been ages since I heard the Eternal September argument. History truly is circular.

Spam does not originate from large corporate email providers.

Spam largely does not originate from these email providers, instead the open nature of email allows for spammers to easily spin up their own SMPT servers and go wild. Have you used email before?

Imagine how few people would be using email if all the regional ISP’s decided that they were going to preventatively block their users from being able to send / receive email from larger providers like Yahoo or Gmail.
