Spez's doubling down on his bullshit inspired me to delete my reddit account. The purge of all my comments is running now, via redact.dev

I am one of those migrating to this platform. I already had issues with the server going down whilst trying to register. I think we're going to need a bigger ~~boat~~ server

[–] jmp242@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Probably should pick a smaller instance.

[–] Warped@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was the most pointless shitshow of an AMA ever. It has confirmed the leaving Reddit is right, but I should've done it long ago. Thanks Spez.

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Same, that AMA gave me the motivation I needed to delete my account. Fuck Reddit

[–] jimrob4@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was, until it was obvious he wasn't going to answer any questions. What a mess.

[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just went through and downvoted all of his responses. He only answered soft questions and still managed to come off as an asshole

Every Reddit AMA and most AMAs end up like this. They don’t seem to understand the concept of the anything part…

[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess it’s an ask me anything. Not a I’ll answer anything πŸ™„

[–] LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Probably better to just cut to the chase and say he’s larping as a public washroom stall.

[–] superbeans@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What a disaster. I wonder why they though doing that was a good idea. Like what were were they actually going to accomplish?

[–] cloud@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

I read through it and it went about exactly as I thought. Doubling down on the blunders, further insinuating the Apollo dev is a liar, and essentially not giving any actual answers to what people truly want to know about. Even the actual technical stuff, it seems like they didn't prepare whatsoever for this beforehand. (The AMA or the API changes)

I knew it would be bad but that was lower than the low bar I set.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I was (no idea if it's still going on, I don't think that it is.)

The shit is fucking hilarious. He consistently avoids to answer every relevant question, and he's so obvious on that that even your typical Reddit user is noticing it. This guy is not just a liar, but an incompetent liar.

Might as well call it AMABIRN (Ask Me Anything, But I Reply Nothing.)

It was the most downvoted post ever before they locked voting and reset it to 0.

[–] noodlejetski@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

the lowest post karma on reddit can go is 0.

[–] Xathonn@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

He answered like 7 questions that didn't cover anything people actually wanted to know about, then just stopped responding

[–] SeeleLowe@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It seems like he's putting very little effort into it

[–] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wasn't paying attention. How bad was it??

[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Basically only answered soft questions and still stood by his lies about Christian from Apollo. It was honestly the most pointless AMA ever

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not that pointless, it seems like it sent a fair few people over here so that's something.

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are right, it motivated me to delete my reddit account

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

lol that's a fair point.

[–] theory@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its over now anyway i think

[–] Lucy@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago
