Goodbye r/secretsanta (self.secretsanta)

kickme444 が 投稿

Hello friends,

I was not planning on saying anything but the hoopla on reddit today drove a number of people to question me and why I am no longer a mod of this subreddit I created.

I no longer work for reddit and as a result, am no longer a part of redditgifts.

Thank you for the last 6 years. It has meant the world to me. The community is the best ever and the employees of reddit and redditgifts are all amazing and I love them like family.

I am gutted to lose this. If you want to chat with me, follow me at http://twitter.com/kickme444

Goodbye /r/kickme444, I wish you the best. I am sad to hear that you have been let go :( I am disappointed in reddit's decisions as late regarding their behavior towards employees.

You were the one who convinced me to try reddit secret santa.

Best subreddit of all time.

How much can everyone pitch in for a bag of flaming poo for the admins this year?

[–]jayhawx19 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

I am wondering if /u/kickme444 stepped down as a result of all this or he was let go as well. Would change the scenario if he did it voluntarily. Admittedly doesn't sound that way though.

edit: Looks like he was fired in the past few weeks. Thanks to /u/po0rdecision for the find.

On his twitter he says he was let go a few weeks ago.

Don't forget to protest by installing an ad blocker and not buying reddit gold!

Thanks for reminding me regarding the ad blocker!

your time on reddit was a gift

Wait, is your leave from Reddit related to recent events or just coincidental? Somebody please clarify.

[–]Squeakopotamus [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

He was fired a while ago. He is going public with it now due to the recent events.

[–]Abstractionisms_ [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Appreciate your reply, Squeakopotamus. Sick username, too.

[–]digisplicer [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

Based on his Twitter account, he was fired yesterday.

As a participant of Reddit Gifts on numerous occasions, I will not be partaking in any more. Your development of Reddit gifts made this fun, and after your departure (I wonder for what?) And Reddits recent behaviour, this will be a community I step away from.

I wish you all the best in the future dude.

[–]onionwithgarlic [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I still remember you for your fast replies to my clueless questions when I started on my first exchange. That enthusiasm. That passion. That sincerity.

TBH, i feel that Redditgifts now looks like it's a store hawking merchandise. As someone who only comes by here once in a while, I can tell you that it's now very different with all the new policies on Reddit these past months. Take comfort in the fact you're not along in sharing the loss of something you have contributed to in such a big way.

Guess they wanted someone who could/would commercialize it more?

Thanks for all you've done

[–]Mk3supraholic [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE REDDIT HEADWIGS!!?? They are ruining everything.

[–]Steelalloy [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

We're proud of you, Sir.

[–]miamiandy [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Well, you were the first person I sent a gift exchange to so good luck with future endeavors.

What the fuck has happened to reddit?

[–]GeekyCreeper [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Aww man, you were one of the coolest! You created one of my favorite things that had ever had the luck of becoming part of my life and I am highly grateful. It's a shame to see you go, and I hope I still see you around.

[–]thedragon4453 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Holy shit. I know. Let's fire everyone that the community loves and has helped turn it into what it is.

Godspeed, man. Quite honestly, though it doesn't seem like it now, you might have just been tossed off of a sinking ship right before they went full steam ahead into an iceberg.

reddit's current management really, really doesn't get reddit.

[–]Philofelinist [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Thanks so much for everything and you've made some very positive things happen around here. It was nice having a virtual friend.

[–]zatchstar [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

oh no! this whole thing has me really worried for the future of reddit. I hope redditgifts will be strong enough to endure this loss. there are a ton of people who really enjoy this.

[–]BurntFlower [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Thank you very much for all your hard work.

[–]RavenPanther [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm sorry to hear about what's happened recently. I only just found out about it, but I wish you the best for the future, in both day-to-day life, and your career. Will you be participating in the redditgifts process? Maybe some day, some of us may be lucky enough to be matched up with you :]

[–]Pamander [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Oh my gosh! I didn't know of this, you will be sorely missed, thank you for all you have done for this community and all the joys you have brought us and many strangers together with. I hope you have a great future, much love from all of us I am sure <3

Jesus Christ what is happening

[–]mathyouhunt [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Seriously?! Why are they letting so many important admins go now? This is getting insane.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're leaving /u/kickme444. I'd imagine this is like giving your baby away. Secret Santa isn't going to be the same without you =[

[–]tragopanic [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Whoa. Lots of bad decisions from reddit lately. I'm sorry to see you go. I can't imagine redditgifts without you. You are redditgifts.

[–]Jeffplz [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You're leaving a place that once was a great community. You shouldn't be gutted, you're no longer under Pao's regime.

[–]84username [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Oh boy, here we go again!

Open up a case of mountain dew and groom those neckbeards. This is going to be a good one!

[–]noryeguy4 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I participated in a number of Secret Santa/Arbitrary Day and I have to say that it was one of my most favorite occasions. Thank you for making what it was.

[–]Shittipller [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Hope you and 5days are holding up. Saw a mention you were heading to StLouis. When is that happening?

[–]lil_poundcake [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

What the hell. I'm cancelling my participation in the gift exchanges. Dunno if I'll do anymore.

[–]scarletsaint [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Goodbye and good luck!

[–]AlphaMW3 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Dude you're awesome! Don't worry, we'll get things back to normal. We will :'(

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

Congrats on no longer being part of this racist, sexist cesspool! Well, aside from still being a redditor.

[–]nicholieeee [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

What the actual fuck is going on?! I get that you probably can't talk about it, but it's really weird that reddit is getting rid of the employees people actually liked.

Best of luck to you

[–]Ailive [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

We'll Miss you!! Do you have something besides twitter? I'm not on twitter

Best wishes man. This situation sucks.
