Thanks for joining me today! I'm here at the Reddit corporate parking lot, spot 269 (nice!), and ~~being assisted today by Victoria~~ all by myself because friends only tie down your ambitions.

Founded in 1978 as a men's discount shoe store on the west side of Philadelphia (born and raised), Reddit has, despite our best efforts, experienced an unprecedented explosion in popularity in the past decade. As of this morning, we are now home to over 16.5 million subscribers, of which a good 11% are associated with human beings, creating over 13 original posts each and every week!

As a business, our primary goal has been maintaining this platform at the expense of our users. As a result, we recently made the decision to acquire one of our upcoming competitors, Lemmy. This sale finalized as of Sunday, July 2nd, for a price that will not be disclosed because our VCs might be reading this.

Effectively immediately, we have enacted a few new featifits (a benefit and a feature combined) that will ~~hopefully pay for the new sous chef~~ will benefeat the Lemmy community. These include:

  • A newly revamped federation system that will allow Reddit posts to be viewed on Lemmy. This will be limited to one randomly selected subreddits every month, as chosen by myself, and I've been pretty much into cat girls this year, so they'll probably be cat girl-related
  • A unique new post sorting algorithm that compliments the above, boosting all posts that do, possibly may, or will feature cat girls after I have edited them
  • 500 Spezbux that can be redeemed for Speztokens at any point
  • An unshakable sense of dread about the future course of technology
  • Full length ads for Carl Jr's that will be sent directly to your inbox each hour and can be viewed for additional Spezgild
  • New scents

And much much more! Also, as is tradition for this AMA, we will not be answering any questions at this time, but please, feel free to waste your time and ask anyway!

Dear spez, Who killed Captain Alex?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Why am I attracted to the hooves of a centaur, but not a horse?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hello Mr.Spez! May I ask how much questions you are going to answer to today!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Are you realizing your decisions have ruined the site in ways I didn't even think of? (RemindMe bot dead, etc)

And if not is that due to the typical Silicon Valley pompous, ego driven, narcissistic beef brain bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Are black holes just another form of a pulsar and when will the US finally learn that burgers taste better with mayo.

Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Mayo on the bottom and ketchup on top. Unless I have some homemade whiskey bbq sauce.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Murican here: We put mayo on burgers all the time, what makes you think we don't?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, they don't offer mayo at Burger King and McDonalds where I live, plus every US movie I've ever seen that reflects on burgers in Europe bitches about them having mayo, so... I just assumed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Weird, McDonalds has mayo here or at least they had it on their deluxe. I don't eat at McDonalds too often, but I'd say mayo is a pretty normal thing to put on a burger here just generally speaking. I just saw a commercial for Burger King as I was typing this and there was mayo on the burgers lol, maybe it's a regional thing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IDK maybe. But they're the only burger places that don't have mayo, everyone else does 🤷.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely strange, I can't think of a burger place I've been to that doesn't at least offer mayo as an option if not as a standard topping on at least 1 burger. In any event, I agree: On most burgers mayo is a solid condiment choice!

idk if you wanted a real answer or not, but: no, black holes are not pulsars. they are different kinds of objects. pulsars are neutron stars (or rarely, white dwarfs) that spin and emit beams of radiation, like a lighthouse. neutron stars form from stars that are less massive than a certain limit; bigger than that and they'll become black holes instead. it's probably true that not all neutron stars become pulsars.

I know, I know, I just wanted to make the question as complicated as possible, lol 😂.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Surprisingly, both of these questions have the same answer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

lear. the k is silent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I utterly hate mayo on beef.

On chicken or ham is fine. On fish as tartar sauce, it's great. Beef? Fuck no.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Hi u/spez! This is exciting news. I'm looking forward to your valuable insight into the question of how to go several days without pooping. Three day's worth would be optimal, but I'm sure everyone would be interested in your vision for a future without enshittification

Lemmy is open source and federated so cannot be bought. The fediverse is what the Internet was supposed to be.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, it could be bought, in the sense that the name and repo could have their ownership transferred, but that just means someone is gonna fork it.

Kind of like when Oracle bought OpenOffice, everyone moved to the fork, LibreOffice.

Is your residence well guarded? I have a few drones and some... bom- I mean explo- UH.. things I'd love to give you!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (12 children)

I tried to comment but Lemmy kinda sucks and only works maybe 40% of the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

you need to change instances stat. lemmy.world is massively overloaded on the client side

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Join an insurance that isn’t overcrowded. Hit all. You’re welcome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Are you using an app? Memmy was throwing an error when the server returned HTML instead of an API (“JSON”) response - probably an error page. Seems to be sorted in the most recent update (although yeah if lemmy.world is overloaded then you still might not be able to)
