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”

    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?

      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.

      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

    “AMA” has been up almost a half an hour and spez has responded a total of 5 times. Best AMA ever

    You would think he would have come into this with at least a few canned answers to the most likely questions. It isn’t as if the concerns people have had been hidden; they were all out in the open and have been for days now. No excuse for him to be a deer in the headlights. He was either ignorant, or arrogant. Neither is forgivable in a CEO.

      I mean they had canned answers, just not for anything the users are angry about. He said multiple times that they will be focussing on mod tooling, which they have been saying for 8 years now with very little progress. So even their canned message were hilariously bad.

    Maybe we should get the lemmy server hosts to also do an ama, not to throw shade or anything (alright maybe a little)

    The worst part about not setting a time is that I don’t know when to start making popcorn.

    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

    The funny thing is Spez probably thinks this is good optics like he’s proving he’s ready to interact with the users, but we all know the entire thing is going to be a fucking peloton spin class in telling everyone to fuck themselves

      You can do it! Do not give up! Keep going and fuck yourself.

      Soon you will look back and be amazed at all progress you made in fucking yourself.

      You will wonder why you thought you could never fuck yourself this hard.
