I don't think spez really likes conservatives, he edited a trump supporter post to make them look bad so I'm not sure why right-wingers are licking the boots of a left leaning person. They're owning the libs so hard, they're licking the boots of one? (What is the political view of spez, anyways?)

What is the political view of spez, anyways?

He's a tech bro with pp envy towards those peers who flipped their startups for more than he did. He feels silly for having sold reddit for "only" 10 mil and wants reddit's IPO to springboard him into the deeper end of the pool.

I don't think there is a political view of spez, because I think he's just a wannabe Zuck, Dorsey, etc. His motive is cash.

Let me know if there's a more appropriate community for this.

Yeah, that will teach them. People posting more memes will totally change Reddit's politics.

But it's at least in character. It's about the same stance the conservatives take to any important issue.

They can have it all to themselves. I'm happy here now πŸ˜‰

Let's all post there on our remaining accounts and get banned.

They’re so desperate for attention.

In a strange way reading /r/conservative since the mods took a holiday has been kind of fun. I've always checked that subreddit, even though I hated reading it most of the time, I always thought it important to see what the other side has to say. Some of their memes today have been funny, even for a lefty and in some way it's like a beautiful and surprising reddit farewell gift from the place I least suspected.

What absolutely gooberish behavior lolll. Imagine riding this hard for some huge company who all but said they'd pee on their own users for half a penny.

Jokes on them. Reddit is down.
