What should Reddit users expect from the CEO concerning transparency with his interaction with Elon Musk about editing content?
Comments
None. The CEO is a pedo just like Musk.
I dont expect anything, this place kinda sucks anyways. 9gag and 4chan are better.
Elon musk is government. If the details aren’t disclosed in open court when they file suit against Elon, then Reddit should be forced to disclose as part of the class-action lawsuit filed by its users.
We should expect the right thing which is to tell Elon to fuck off. What we will get is compliance.
A full accounting of the payment received.
Reddit’s been supporting censorship for years. I’ve been banned from subs I’ve never even posted in. And there’s no accountability to address such matters.
Nothing. They already remove content anyway. I hope they get rid of mods.
there will be no nasty comments about ellen minsk allowed because ellen minsk says so
The same as American citizens expect from their intelligence community into violating their privacy online as a job. Musk is government now so now there has to be a FOIA available to find out what information he sent to the Reddit CEO.
Expect? I expect they kiss the ring of potus like every other slimy piece of shit.
Dibs on posting this question again in 20 minutes.
So, what exactly did musk say about reddit?
The fact Elon talks to Spez directly means he already had a word with Conde Nast and Conde Nast agreed.
Conde Nast was the reason reddit got a wipeout on their questionable subs. So this will go Elon’s way. But quietly.
I hope the Reddit CEO has a spine and will stand up to Peon Musk. I get that Musk has a lot of money, but he seems like such hollow clown, a literal house of card ready to fall apart.
I give this thread 45 minutes until it is paused for moderator approval.
Seeing there is no expected or actual free speech on reddit, there is no expected transparency.
I got my very first content warning yesterday for posting violent threats. All I said was that I wished the very worst for some vile people who were recorded saying horrific things about the deportations. That’s what you can expect.
Don’t worry, hegetsus
Reddit should never have been a business. It should be organized as a charity for the public good like Wikipedia.
Unpopular opinion:
I’ve already noticed my Musk spam has went from every other post to 1 in 20. I’m glad.
You say you hate him, yet talk about the guy incessantly on this platform. For weeks the front page was almost entirely Musk. How many entire subs does he have dedicated to full-time haters? How often are they on the front page? It’s borderline obsessive on this platform, holy shit.
I want to see Pokemon memes and cat videos, not Elon fucking Musks dumb fucking face again and again repeatedly, non-stop for weeks on end. For fucks sake, Reddit. Give him weekly meetings with the CEO, IDGAF just give me a break from the fucking circlejerk.
I distrust them all. I think we all need to keep tabs on Musk posts and scream loud if they start disappearing.
Money can buy anything and everything.
Freedom of speech
Nothing. CEOs don’t give a fuck about you, and never will
Dude…billionaires live in a different world, they don’t give a shit about your expectations for transparency.
Well I see reddit errors when i try to read comments from some of my notifications so they are already removing threads.
CEO’s are mostly ruled by the oligarchy it seems.
Why would you expect different?
Let this be yet another wakeup call – social media platforms are NOT public square’s. They are digital casinos where the house makes all the rules and can ask you to leave for any reason.
You do NOT own your content on this or any social media site. You are the PRODUCT, not the user. And reddit will make whatever business decisions it wants to stay solvent, including sucking up to awful people.
We should expect incoming censorship, and more line crossing by Musk, while the country of America seemingly just goes along with it, or at least doesn’t push back.
Turkey and France erupt at even a fraction of what the Trump government is doing.
Is elon going to edit also on x?
I expect this is the first step in Reddit turning into a Trumphole.
Nothing. If reddit caves to the man baby, I’ll drop this app just like Twitter, Facebook, Insta and TikTok.
I assume Bluesky is working on a clone site that everyone will migrate to once Reddit goes the way of Twitter.
From what I’ve seen, very little. I’ve seen content with thousands of likes just removed that was critical of Musk.
It’ll pretty much be the same. Reddit is a leftist echo chamber. If Elon Musk has his way it will be a right leaning echo chamber. Instead of seeing how bad the Republicans are in every single freaking subreddit, it will be posts about how bad the Democrats are in every freaking subreddit.
I just want a place to go look at funny pictures and such
I expect elon to go fuck himself and self deport. No one should be giving that moron attention unless it is to throw him into prison.
Not a damn thing except bowing down and kissing ass.
I expect the private company to act in the best interest of their shareholders. That may possibly mean censoring pro-terrorist and pro-assassin content.
I think if there is any evidence of manipulating free speech, any and all involved should lose their business licenses.
Reddit is not the only channel… And users are free to move around… Beware…
Nothing. The rich favor the rich. The rest of us are peasants and should only expect to be treated as such.
I would expect a real man would tell President Musk to grow a spine and a pair of balls and to mind his own business-literally
Disappointment
the users of reddit, it’s customers, agree with this decision… it’s the product, us, that disagrees, but as you know, the customer is always right, and those are the big data colection firms that buy our data.
reddit is fascist now, because it’s not fighting fascism… it took it’s place at the table with the fascists and is staying there.
Nothing. We aren’t entitled to any information regarding the running of the site, though it would be nice if it were provided (let’s be real though, most people would either not believe it or complain it’s not enough). As consumers we are free, if we do not like something, to stop using the site.
