Steve Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."

Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

    My personal thoughts are that anyone who thinks hivhly of what Elon Musk has done to Twitter is highly suspect and probably best avoided.

    Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”

    Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.

    I’m not sure we should be so quick to alienate people who still use reddit. They may simply be overwhelmed about starting again on a (better) platform.

    Lemmy at it’s core philosophies make it much better for communities and individuals to be freer. We just need to go through some growing pains at the moment.

    The CEO of a company that burned a ton of goodwill in a record amount of time praises the CEO of another company who did about the same 🤷‍♂️

    And there it is lol. I don’t think it’s too surprising that one person who was weak-minded and spineless, would echo the actions and sentiments of another person who was also weak-minded and spineless.
