I first saw the announcment in r/save3rdpartyapps (my only sub). The AMA is taking place at r/reddit, no time was given, just says “today”
You must log in or register to comment.
The worst part about not setting a time is that I don’t know when to start making popcorn.
This is going to be epic. I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is.
It’s a banana, Michael, what can it cost, $10?
Sadly inflation means the scale banana is now about $14.50
Money really messes with the ability to understand normal people.
I legitimately don’t understand what they’re hoping to gain from the AMA. Unless spez is going to start with “We were wrong, we’re rolling back the changes” then there’s nothing to be said. They ran over 3rd party apps that millions of their users use for no reason. This will be a total disaster.
Isn’t there a long long history of people thinking they can AMA their way out of a PR disaster and end up stepping in it?
Ohhhhhh, youbetcha!
There sure is, and I can’t wait to see it.
I think they’ll try to say they’ll improve the app’s accessibility, bot functionality, mod tools, something like that. It won’t work I bet
They’ve already said they’re focusing on the desktop app.
They get the stats, so they know how many users are using the various third party mobile apps. What they may not realize is how many of the moderators and content posters depend on third party apps.
They probably don’t understand how big this issue is and think it’s just a small number of nerds who don’t matter. I think they’re taking the community for granted.
Well that was a disaster. Guess I’ll be spending time here now.
Me too. That AMA was a joke and made me want to uninstall Reddit.
“Join our CEO tomorrow” Tomorrow is always tomorrow loophole incoming.

I want to see it but at the same time I know I will regret it. The last time he never answered straight and avoided tough questions. It’s not going to be different this time. I would love to be proven wrong though.
Edit: called it
I read several comments claiming the ceo edited other people’s comments and changed downvotes to upvotes during the last ama.
Probably a waste of time.
Yup it happened, back in 2016 during the elections. He edited comments (and posts I think) in r/the_donald, people originally said “f*ck spez” and he edited them with the moderators usernames. Things like that.

Now, let me just say that I am aware of how toxic that sub was, but regardless spez opened a bad precedent
It’ll be like a trainwreck in slow motion
“AMA” has been up almost a half an hour and spez has responded a total of 5 times. Best AMA ever
The AMA is live now: link
As usual, cherry picked questions get softball answers.
Not to mention that he continues to diss the developer behind Apollo.
That’s more than just a diss, blackmail accusations is rising to the level of libel. Spez is just being a shitbead Spez as always.
This is going to be a massive shitshow, cant wait!
It’s going to be an absolute shitshow, I’ve already decided to sell my reddit account and delete sync so I’ll just be there to see the drama unfold before I quit reddit for good 👍
Where are the AMAs going to be for lemmy?
They say join us “here” so I’m assuming it is going to be the /r/reddit sub.
Yeah, I mean if we have AMA here where would they be, but I don’t know if that will actually happen…
I’m guessing someone will create an AMA…uh…not sub…instance? I’m not familiar with lemmy terminology.
I’d be willing to host an AMA community. I’m federated with lemmy.one, so it’s certainly doable.
