Not sure I'm fully onboard with this to be honest.
I mean, we're all adults living in a civilised society and you missed an apostrophe, it should have been "you're a cunt", not youre.
We all know better for next time ;-)

Iβm actually proud of this and might frame it for my office π€£
I'd be thrilled to know I personally offended a CEO
You should. I printed out a screenshot when I got blocked by Rudy Giuliani on Twitter lol
On a fine Monday morning, Steve Huffman, known colloquially as Spez, awoke from his gold-threaded sheets in his penthouse, sipping on his ethically questionable yet preposterously expensive civet coffee. He looked out his windows, the horizon offering the perfect view of his kingdom, his creation, his Reddit.
Having decided to raise the cost of API use to levels that would make a NASA engineer's jaw drop, Spez had embarked on a mission to squelch third-party apps, steering users towards the official (albeit buggy) Reddit app. He chuckled to himself, confident that his plot was as foolproof as an uncrackable safe.
Little did he know, the storm was brewing.
As he logged on, dressed in his favorite power suit, he noticed the eerie silence. Subreddits, once buzzing hives of memes, jokes, and shower thoughts, were now as barren as the surface of Mars. The once-mighty r/AskReddit, now reduced to a ghost town, echoed with digital tumbleweeds.
Confused, he navigated to r/pics. The screen loaded and his eyes were met with an endless scroll of buttholes, every variety, shape, and color imaginable. His newly nanobot-manicured eyebrows knitted together in bewilderment.
βMust be a new meme trend,β he said, shrugging it off.
He then moved to r/science, a bastion of intellect and reason, only to find NSFW content occupying every single thread. The Higgs boson was being discussed in a manner Einstein could never have predicted.
βWhat in the name of...?β He blinked, checking whether he was still on Reddit and not some obscure corner of the dark web.
He decided to investigate, opening his mailbox. "Surely my loyal subjects will inform me what's going on," he mused.
And inform they did. His inbox was flooded with messages, each more colorful than the last. "Spez, you're a legend!" one began, before ending with a plot twist, "...at being a daft cunt."
"Has everyone lost their minds?" he wondered, failing to connect the dots.
He banished anyone who dared cross him, banning his way through his subjects like a monarch with an itchy trigger finger.
As the day wore on, Spez grew restless. His grand plan was not unfolding as expected. But, in his characteristic arrogance, he was certain that the chaos would soon subside and he would ascend as the one true app lord.
In his plush office, surrounded by screens showing falling Reddit stocks, he clutched a crystal ball he bought from a New Age store, whispering, βSoon, my Reddit will be worth billionsβ¦β The crystal ball, deciding it had enough, promptly rolled off his desk and shattered on the Italian marble floor.
In the end, a day that began with grand ambitions ended with a lonely billionaire, surrounded by pictures of buttholes, an inbox full of profanity, a shattered crystal ball, and a kingdom in chaos.
Unbeknownst to him, the Reddit community reveled in their rebellion. They might not have won the war yet, but oh, how they celebrated the battles. As the moon replaced the sun, one phrase echoed throughout the kingdom of Reddit, repeated in posts and comments, whispered in DMs, etched into the heart of the rebellion,
"Fuck Spez."
This is now canon.
I'd be saving your post if I knew how to do it.
The little rectangle with a triangle out of the bottom, beside the downvote buttone, saves comments for later enjoyment. Happy Lemmying!
Thanks, it doesn't work or I don't know where to find my saved posts. I'm using wefwef, so I tought it'd be a feature yet to be implemented.
Ah shoot, just logged into Wefwef and see it doesn't have it! I'm using Jerboa and it does have save functions if that's an option for you :)
Wefwef has a save button but I donβt know where the saved content goes.
If you've got a way to access your user profile via a browser (mobile works too), you can see your saved posts there.
On any page, click/press the hamburger icon on the top-leftmost part of your screen. It'd open up a menu (or an area) where you can see your profile picture and username at the very bottom. There's a triangle next to your username, click/press that.
Another menu/area opens up that has options "Profile", "Settings", and "Logout". Click/press "Profile" to see your user profile.
You're then taken to a different page (which you can directly go to via https://your.lemmy.instance/u/your_username, for example:βββΒ https://lemmy.world/u/AllGoesUpMustGoDown). There, you can choose between "Overview", "Comments", "Posts" and "Saved." That last link (to your saved posts/comments) won't be visible to others (I tried).
PS: I tried looking for the same in wefwef, but I can't find it as well.
PPS: Weirdly enough, it might be faster to just go directly via the address bar of your (mobile) browser if you know what you're doing, lol!
Edit: Typos and shit. Added PPS part.
Claim you're Australian, and live in NSW.
Show that it is your constitutional right to call any leader a cunt

Sue Reddit
To be fair, Tony Abbott is actually a total cunt, so the case result was always going to be.
I'm pretty sure he was a laughing stock across the world when he was in.
Then US one upped us.
please tell me you did this AFTER systematically devaluing your years of submitted content?
Yep. ππ»
I tagged him in messages for a few days calling him a cunt but never got banned. I guess DM was the thing to make it be effective?
Admins, or at least him, don't get notified when you tag them
Good. Fuck u/spez β that little cunt
called /u/Spez a cunt
This is inaccurate, /u/Spez lacks warmth and depth and has never given anyone pleasure.
With a bang
Jesus christ
Totally worth it!
Must be a fun place to work π
Sucks because it used to be an awesome job I bet
No, they talked about it, it was brutal, they were overworked for a good while, then when the money came in they went dumb corporate.
There was a while where they said the stress felt like it was worth it then everything fell apart, this was around when pao was in charge and the ama lady got fired.
That sounds about right, it's been coasting on the momentum from past glories since then, and we were protected from the worst of it by third party apps and good mods and communities in smaller subreddits. Both things they're now ripping apart. Curious to check Reddit again in a couple years and witness just how bad it got.
Should definitely be banned for not using an apostrophe.
Surprises me that you get banned for it but whenever someone else call another person that - they get away with either a warning or nothing happens. Lol.
I edited all my comments to Fuck u/spez and deleted them and then deleted my account. They ruined a decent thing.
Same, then they perma-IP banned all of my accounts, lmao.
Thatβs what happens when the CEO starts taking advice from Elon Musk on how to run a social media company.
Like 3 days ago I got a site wide ban for posting a picture of the comments spez altered on TheDonald like 4 years ago. Reddit has gone downhill ever since Pao got the CEO title and has only gotten worse under spez.
Pao was hired to do a specific job, she did it, and then she was sacrificed. She was 100% a scapegoat.
do you happen to have a link for that image? would love to post it myself π
It was going downhill before thar. Pao was a scapegoat. spez and kn0thing fired Victoria Taylor before Pao even took over.
Pao became CEO in Jun2015. Victoria was officially fired Aug2015. Some would say its just a happy coincidence.
This is like when Johnny Sack had to unexpectedly return home to retrieve his sweater he forgot only to find Ginny Sack gorging herself on her hidden stash of snacks and candy while she was supposed to be on a diet.
