Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.
The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

Of course he thinks Elon is doing a good job…
My personal thoughts are that anyone who thinks hivhly of what Elon Musk has done to Twitter is highly suspect and probably best avoided.
Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”
Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.
Imagine thinking that, then saying that out loud before an IPO.
Actual quote from u/spez leading up to the IPO: “we are not profitable"
oh, fuck that guy
Both?
The CEO of a company that burned a ton of goodwill in a record amount of time praises the CEO of another company who did about the same 🤷♂️

I’m not sure we should be so quick to alienate people who still use reddit. They may simply be overwhelmed about starting again on a (better) platform.
Lemmy at it’s core philosophies make it much better for communities and individuals to be freer. We just need to go through some growing pains at the moment.
Can’t make this shit up
Reddit Premium users will have a blue checkmark, coming soon! And for a new low low price of $8/mo
Elon was ordered to buy the site by a judge after a failed scheme to use the acquisition as a pretense to expose the “bot problem” on the platform. Maybe don’t base your company strategy on the guy who is paying down a massive 44b loan because he wanted to meme the price of his fake buyout that blew up in his face
He has learned that you can do whatever the fuck you want to a platform that’s hit critical mass
Even if he actually thought that, why the fuck would you say that right now when a large amount of your community is revolting against you? Comments like these are only further destabilizing a bad situation. If I was on the board, and even if I fully supported the changes, I would have him removed for adding more fuel to the fire.
Imagine. My. Surprise.
Fuck u/spez
He saw it as an example to follow but also insisted days ago none of this was inspired by Twitter… You’d have to be an idiot to trust this guy.
