had a vibrant sub with @ 50,000 participants, new content every day. now it's literally full of spam, no engagement, and the 'mod' appears to have fled after taking Spez's offer to take over.
so that's satisfying :D
- It's not
  
  aw someone misses spezdaddy :D
  
  It's not satisfying that it was ruined
  
  well... I disagree.
  They had it all. They had all the keys to the kingdom, all they needed to do was listen. And when they decided otherwise, they've lost a tremendous amount of mods and community, so.... I'd rather see them humbled. If they were rewarded with success for their bad actions that would be unsatisfying. But it is sad; but the web will grow and change. There was /., then digg, then reddit, now lemmy / fediverse.... imho, each step is an improvement in some senses. Hopefully it will continue to grow.
  
  Conjuction fallacy. You only focus on your satisfaction and not on your own bigger reason for why
  
  Seeing reddit spiral into enshittification is satisfying to me, and that's all I assert. I never asserted it would be asserting for everyone, much less you.
  I call this: the mojofrodojo conundrum: you assume I think you're real, and can experience satisfaction. or care. life is funny that way.
  
  You can feel satisfaction over enshittification and still understand that humanity lost something. It's a simple fallacy nothing to cry about honestly
  
  humanity lost something
  oh yeah, the nazis and jailbait on reddit are a real blow to culture. good luck, gonna block you now...
  
  What a child
