This article covers mostly the recent events, where Reddit tries to gaslight the mods into a “we need to talk”. As well as r/place opening.

I’m posting this here as it documents that the media already took notice of the hostility towards Reddit and Reddit Inc., including in r/place, even if the admins are trying to control the damage in it by screwing with the message.

    It comes as no surprise that notorious comment editor Spez, famous for editing his detractors’ comments, is trying to control the message.

      So you’re saying that face-eating leopards are *gasp* eating faces?

      I fully agree with you. And if we dig deeper, Reddit was founded this way - by manipulating users. Why would people expect anything else than manipulation from that place?

    Has there been solid user numbers reported since this whole api fiasco kicked off? Interested to see if people have moved away in numbers at all

    I am not gaslighting. In fact, I am spreading positivity. Those wacky mods are saying that I control the message. Will you believe them? I mean I had let them protest(until we lost money). That is besides the point. We are not gaslighting. The mods are gaslighting. They are disgusting little parasites. I am not sure how many of you “lemmings” know what gaslighting actually is. It is lighting a gas lamp. Manipulating people? I definitely do not manipulate people. You could be thinking that because of the terrible weather. Now, Go back to the alien site which is now full of garbage. Sincerely, (unofficial) Spez
