Phreak mentioned that due to the increase of toxicity and death threats he will be quitting social media.
While I agree with some of the points about the ping system that the community has brought up before, harassing Rioters and others has been happening for so long and has been so severe, that i understand why phreak has come to this decision.
Yeah but where is the accountability?
All he’s going to take from that is, ‘well I can talk down to the whole community like they’re all dipshits and cherry pick “evidence” to support the changes I made that no one likes, not give any proper response to valid constructive criticism I’ve received and as long as I write an apology and play the victim over the threats I got after if they kick up a fuss about it I’ll be fine!’
I’m not saying he should be threatened or harassed obviously, but I am saying he needs to face consequences for making such poor decisions, backing them up with irrelevant data and also talking down to and borderline mocking the entire community when we bring up valid criticism and complaints about his changes and actions, instead of oh idk ADDRESSING THE CRITICISM PROPERLY AND/OR REVERSING THE CHANGES. He should be removed or forced to step down from his current role, not just be allowed to cower away and quit social media, his actions are inexcusable.
There’s no excuse for riot to endorse one of their leadership employees treating their customers like this.
