      Specifically? That the response was already prepared in advance, in fact they probably have the response to most questions already answered, in a Q: question A: answer mode, and spez forgot to remove the “A:”

      More broadly? That spez doesn’t care about us, using pre-made answers and all

        TBH, it’s crazy that they would engage in a public forum about such a public, contentious subject without preparing everything in advance. You’d normally want to vet your answers and make sure you don’t make things worse… Which they did.

        I’m not sure that’s really necessarily a sign of that tbh. Answering AMA’s starting with A: was pretty common on reddit back in the day.

          that’s true, but considering his other comments don’t have it and he did edit it out makes it well, more suspicious

    I was actually worried when I first saw the AMA post. I thought Reddit was going to back down on the API costs and decentralized nostr and fediverse projects would go back to niche services “too technical” for broad adoption

      I am a technical person but I didn’t know about fediverse projects because it is not my domain and I didn’t have a strong enough reason to go looking for better solutions. Oh boy, am I glad spez pulled this stunt so I could land all the way here!

    He’s also manipulating his karma score, has to be.
    This is him at the start of the AMA:

    And after:

    How could his karma have only gone down by ~300, when he was downvoted thousands of times?

    Not too surprising for this kind of position amid this kind of shitstorm. Of course the community can make their conclusions if they (we) expected something different.
