It was evident that Reddit was not going to play nice the moment Mr. Huffman opened his big trap on network television. Fuck /u/spez, and Fuck Reddit
Lemmy is so much better and it reminds me of what was long lost back in the earliest days of reddit. It's so much nicer here on Lemmy in general.
Initially; I intended to stay in line with the protest and only close for the 2 days initially proposed.
One thing i've been thinking since a recent CatValente essay from a few days ago, regarding Reddit: Saying "Fuck Spez" sounds quite nice and is catchy but kinda makes it feel like Steve Huffman was one of your buddies that betrayed you, and he never was. We should start using his full name, and accordingly distancing us from that person. Let's not give him even the privilege of using a nickname. His name is Steve Huffman and we should stop using "Spez" altogether.
