Let’s say a Reddit admin announces that they are a Reddit admin. What do you think will happen? How would people react?
Well, I would welcome said admin on the glorious Fediverse and ask how the last few weeks must have been. No need to act like a rabid redditor. We must be better. (Then watch the admin burst into tears, because that was their first friendly human interaction in years)
I too would be very interested in what they have to say, but assuming they’re not Spez, they are just another person working a job there.
Fuck spez
I see “fuck u/Spez” I upvote
I’m glad that you are one of those who isn’t revenge hungry. I was concerned that if they introduced themselves, the mods everywhere would ban them in an act of revenge.
…are you a Reddit admin?
Cue two spidermen meme
I don’t think any instances would do that but you could just create another account if you are worried.
I think most wouldn’t care, “Your magic has no power here” and all that.
Others might tell them to piss off.
Thank you. I couldn’t care less what someone did somewhere on the internet.
They might even start their own instance. And some might block their instance. And others wouldn’t care.
What would happen if a Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn employee announced where they work?
They would probably get asked about their jobs.Probably welcoming, not every Reddit employee stands behind the decisions made by their management.
If they enjoy to browse Lemmy more then Reddit it doesn’t automatically make them unloyal to their job or a enemy of Lemmy.
Everyone would ask them about what was going on behind the scenes and if Spez is as short-sighted as he seems. They’d reply they signed NDAs about most of the questions being asked and quickly regret creating a spontaneous AMA and then never log in under that username again.
On Lemmy they are just another user, so who cares?
Why should we care one way or the other?
I’m technically a reddit mod, over my own private sub with no one but me in it.
I used to mess around with CSS and even made some reasonably popular themes (not under this username ofc) so I had like 4 private subs.
Shrug. Welcome to the community, admin.
Depends if it’s Spez or not. If not then… tentative welcome I guess.
If it is Spez then, well, pitchforks it is.
I couldn’t care less. Lemmy is immune to their fuckery.
I’d wonder why they felt the need to announce that.
Pretty much like this:
But in all seriousness, we would probably ask them what they think about reddit’s working environment and a few questions like that, and then everybody would move along
What do you think will happen?
Pitchforks and torches being brandished.
