“They weren’t elected!” Says the man who is making decisions no one but the wealthy want using authority bestowed on him by the oligarchic rules of the system he helped create.
Someone punch this douche in his face
He doesn’t have shareholders to answer to… Yet…
This guy was once a moderator of /r/jailbait
/u/spez is truly a font of strange and wonderful phrases that don’t mean at all what he intends them to.
And he brings it up NOW, when the mods collectively did something that threatened his pocketbook, instead of when powermods were running rampant on the default subreddits.
While I support the principle of having mod elections, in practice it doesn’t work for internet communities because there’s really nothing there to fight against vote manipulations.
I do think federated instances will solve this issue though, if the community you subscribe to did something you don’t like, there’s nothing stopping you from just go to another community about the same topic with mods that you do like, because subreddit name squatting is near impossible on Lemmy.
Tell me you don’t know what ‘landed gentry’ means without telling me you don’t know what ‘landed gentry’ means.
u/spez is a fuckwad with a little dick
I’ll admit I had no idea what it meant, but after reading that comparison to land owners, I was like yeah no that doesn’t make any fuckin sense. Mods make literally no money for their labor.
This should be posted on c/reddit, but it is off-topic here.
They are tenant farmers,. he is the landed gentry. The provide him within income and produce. He provides a cottage and a rusty plough
I do have to give it to the moderators, they made this asshole show his true colors. There’s no going back to Reddit now.
man’s pulling on his clown suit piece by piece
I literally smiled and said wtf as I read this headline. The article really makes him sound like a tool that doesn’t appreciate what he has.
and spez is the king with no clothes
Except for, you know, the land, and the wealth, and the social power. What a weirdo.
Somebody’s using the Magna Carta backwards again…
Unpaid volunteers famously have too much power
What an absolute bag of hammers this guy is.
What a fucking liar.
