    I don’t understand this community’s obsession with this man. If you’re no longer on his site then why do you care what happens to him or Reddit? Just move on.

      Because I used reddit for well over a decade and had hundreds of subs I followed. Friends and communities. Years and years of shared history. It has been a huge part of my life. And this turd is ruining it for everybody, and by everybody I mean millions og people. I’m not obsessed with the guy, but I am interested to know what is going on with the place I spent so many hundreds of hours on. Don’t get me wrong, I glad I found lemmy. It’s a great community, but it’s far from what we left behind. In time we’ll hopefully get there, but in the meantime for sure fuck that piece of shit spez.

        My thoughts exactly. Reddit was an immensely widespread and unique collection of so many vibrant niche communities that has grown over nearly two decades and was wilfully destroyed in mere weeks.

        I can’t blame anyone who mourns the loss and resents the greedy pigfucker that killed it.

      I think it’s like, when you have a horrible breakup and you keep wanting to hear about the horrible things happening in your ex’s life that justifies you leaving them and/or gives you some sweet schadenfreude.
