You’re being downvoted because people don’t understand you’re not talking about “far left” like some Trumper. You mean literal tankies, which absolutely yes some of the Lemmy Devs are as well as Lemmy.ml. It’s also a reason I selected Kbin.

To investors it also portrays utter ineptitude and an open hostility to the adminsitration of the site by a large portion of the users, and that Reddit is utterly reliant on said users to generate its value. Lord knows I wouldn’t dare want to take any stock in this company, social media in general makes little profit and Spez has admitted, before a fucking IPO, that Reddit is not profitable. What fool would buy stock in this?
It’s absolutely a fuck you price, reddit doesn’t want the press of saying they wan’t rid of 3rd party apps. But they’re trying to do it anyways. IDK why though, because it’s nakedly obvious to even people not involved in reddit.
We live in a dark world where we got stuck with Ohanian and Huffman, and not Swartz
Huffman isn’t clueless, he’s a liar. He selectively remembers thing, the man is a snake who has somehow managed to fail upwards into the position he is currently in. Even Pao was preferable, as she at least believed in what she was doing. Spez just does whatever gets him paid.
He’s talking about Lemmy of Motorhead who is one of the reasons Lemmy is called Lemmy.
Honestly from the memorabilia I just think that was Lemmy’s passion, I was never a big motorhead fan but I’ve seen more than enough instances of his political thoughts to not really look down on him for his collection. He was a dude really passionate about that part of history and loved collecting stuff from it because he thought that the Nazis “looked mean”. By that he meant cool. He got rich and instantly started trying to pick stuff up.
I suppose you could say his collection and widespread appreciation for the aesthetic was a bit tone-deaf and strange but I never thought you could look at his work and his life and call him a Nazi. He clearly wasn’t racist giving his romantic history and had a few interviews where he talked about his disdain for racism.
Fun fact Lemmy actually owned a german tank destroyer called the Hetzer, or the Jagdpanzer 38. His collection was extreme to be honest. He had artifacts from all the axis countries in Europe iirc. I often, when I was younger, wished I was so rich I could collection historical artifacts from ww2 like that. I was wanted a King Tiger, a Pershing and an IS-3, never actually saw service in WW2 in combat but was in the Soviet victory parade. I liked big tanks. Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever get any of those.
I use Kbin over Lemmy for the record.
