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"

This is going to be epic. I can't believe how out of touch this guy is.

It's a banana, Michael, what can it cost, $10?

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?

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

[–] connor@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that was a disaster. Guess I'll be spending time here now.

[–] BacardiT@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Me too. That AMA was a joke and made me want to uninstall Reddit.

Yeah, I posted this 3 days ago. I doubt if an AMA lasts for days.
