A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

After seeing his face I'd rather use a different terminology.

How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?

Ah, ich sehe, Sie sind auch ein Mann der Kultur

nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

That's no way to talk about Lemmy's single greatest advocate!

May he be forever fucked.

It really is funny. The only reason I went to reddit is that my phone app for news at the time (2011) took a shit and someone recommended reddit. I downloaded an app and that was the only way I interacted with reddit for over a decade. Then he killed that app and I figured if I'm going to have to adjust to a new app, I'm going elsewhere. What a dumbass.

[–] EvolvedTurtle 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even need to adjust to a new app anymore now that boost is here lol

This is Elon Musk erasure.

Is the next step for Reddit to make all users pay?

Fuck Musk, Spez, and Zuck, and throw in Gates and Bezos while you're at it. Each of them has made their own personal empires of shit.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can't mention those and not mention Larry Ellison. If it weren't for him, OpenOffice wouldn't have forked.

My first reaction upon seeing this picture is "that guy has serious nazi energy" Sure enough, I was right.

Never forget that this cunt took the best parts of Reddit from us, cheers for that mate

The wrong reddit co-founder died.

When I look at the guy and then at what he did. I think he really looks the part.

Man, he even looks like a cunt.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Come on guys, it’s not funny anymore. Give him back his chin.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

"The best union organiser is the boss" sort of vibe

Reddit is the only major platform I've ever been banned from. And no it wasn't intentional.

[–] Geriatrickid 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was banned from /r/funny for commenting on a spam post, place is so dumb

I believe this is Steve Huffman (aka u/spez) the co-founder and CEO of Reddit. (wikipedia)

This controversy is what this post is most likely referring to.

He may even be more skilled at ruining platforms than Elon Musk, and that is no easy task

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

We all know the BIGGEST promoter of the Fediverse but he's certainly the biggest for Lemmy!

Wait, is that spez? I kinda pictured him looking more pale and android like, more similar to zuck than this.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Perhaps you have a blue light filter on? Pale and Android like is exactly what I'm seeing.

I hope the bots are helping with that ad revenue you were so concerned about milking from the user base with your shitty app. Was it worth it, dumbass?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I don't even know him

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

He looks like a teenager still living in his moms basement
