    Wooo! Finally got my account working and left my very active, high-karma, 7 year old account where I was active as a freelance bot bounty hunter, so I’m also taking my freelance bot-squashing away.

    I was in a couple of subs* there for like a week after Apollo died because of the learning curve, and now I’m 100% Lemmy and haven’t even checked reddit for a week.

    I was actually a customer in addition to a user and cancelled my premium account on Reddit too. As a software UXD and old-school developer on everything from Acorn, Commodore, Intellivision, Basic, but of assembly, VB, Perl, C versions through ++ and #, all the horrid Java incarnations, sql/oracle, and now web, enterprise, unity, and enough deep dives into Reddit’s GitHub to learn its a clusterfuck in there…

    I’m done with them. This isn’t something you push a fix for. It’s something you fire your entire executive team over or just give up and let the bots have it. That’s where they are, I think.
