REDDING, Calif. - A former Redding landlord is in hot water today after recent Reddit posts he made were shared across the app.
Charles Pierce is a 70-year-old former landlord of the Manzanita Manor Apartments in Redding. Pierce says he was fired from his role after his reddit posts came to light.
Pierce told Action News Now that under a now-deleted account, he posted that he received mail-in ballots of four previous tenants at the Manzanita Manor Apartments.
In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for former President Donald Trump, and to vote “no” on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.
Wait, how do you fire a landlord? Did someone else have some kind of contract with them that allows them to take ownership of the property? Or is this guy more something like a property manager and not the actual landlord owning the place?
I lost faith in whatever generated that article when it said the post was shared across the app, and not the site…
Vast majority of its users are using an app and not the desktop site, probably
Reddit is a website, not a program. That’s my issue. This is the same thinking that wifi=internet and it drives me insane.
I understand your frustration completely - I’m just saying there’s nothing to be done about it. I’ve seen this happen when describing Lemmy too.
Are you doing it right now?
No, I haven’t used a mobile client to engage with Fediverse instances. I participate using the website, whether that’s on desktop or on mobile.
Lemmy isn’t fediverse, and Lemmy isn’t “the website.” Lemmy is a “reddit-like” server application that a lot of fediverse instances run on, but there are others. Same way that Mastodon is a “twitter-like” server application. All of these instances interact using the ActivityPub protocol.
What a weird response. Did you miss that my account is on Fedia? You’re not mansplaining anything that is news to me.
