    It’s been my community since like 2007. It’s hard to move on from all of those conversations and inside jokes because suddenly the landlord says he gets to be a part of our conversations because he owns the property despite never participating in anything besides maybe suggesting a few holiday events that the community had to make happen and execute on their own. It has nothing to do with the site. It has to do with what we created there, a lot like the street corner that used to be a thing. It’s been made clear we’re no longer welcome there and we’ll find a new corner to hang out on. And as soon as it’s user friendly enough the masses will follow. That’s a mixed blessing because the same tired replies and memes will follow but the content will be there.

    I’m a little drunk right now so I’m being overly sentimental, but the point remains. We miss the experiences we had, and fuck that greedy, spineless motherfucker for making us go elsewhere. But we’ll do it and laugh about it the same way we used to about Digg. “Fuck Kevin Rose” was a thing the same way “Fuck u/spez” is.

      Actually when you realize he did contribute it’s worse than if he didn’t. u/spez used to be a moderator. On r/jailbait. You can guess what that was for yourself
