    What users are voluntarily pro-spez (and by voluntarily, I mean their paychecks aren’t jeopardized by dissention)?

    I have met plenty of anti-spez users, and I have met plenty of users who just DNGAF, but I have yet to meet a single actual bona fide user who is ‘pro-spez’.

      I’ve seen some Simping. Could be Trolls, could be quietly on the payroll. Same kind of people simping for Musk.

      That’s the real thing. This all didn’t have to go down like this. Asking for a small API fee is sane. Having a small amount of transactions per month free would have allowed all the mod tools to continue to operate, hell even registered dev accounts. This problem as been solved a thousands times over.

      But all this landed gentry bull shit and complete tonedef messaging. He’s just another ass who’s going to write his company into the ground.

        For me it was the AMA that was the last straw. It was so disingenuous - all the responses had been pre-written and were copied and pasted from other previously written stock, the only answered questions were cherry-picked from reddit shills, and the several dozen most upvoted questions were completely ignored and never responded to. The very concept of “AMA” is an idea that was birthed on reddit, for reddit, and the foundational core tenets of AMA were ignored and disregarded. Ignored and disregarded…is also exactly what they think of their users, subreddit moderators, and 3rd party developers.
