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
Oh hey, it’s cunt face.
Not as attractive as a cunt or an asshole, he’s a dickface.
Idk, dicks can be pretty hot. A hairy ballsack, now that’s almost universally seen as not attractive
Please do not insult my ballsack like that.
As a lifelong dick owner I tend to disagree. But to each their own.
Oh I respect that, I can see why someone wouldn’t like them.
less attractive, more punchable bad luck brian
Bad idea Brian.
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.
you got your news from reddit for a decade?
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
I think your response proves his point, man…
Clearly went over your head there, bud.
Ok, I’ll entertain that thought…
That’s not what he said but I sense you’re going to have an opinion to share about it anyway.
Can I get a ‘fuck spez’
After seeing his face I’d rather use a different terminology.
How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?
Ich bin nicht Deutsch, aber ok u/spez ist ein Hurensohn

Ah, ich sehe, Sie sind auch ein Mann der Kultur
Heil spez
Fuck spez
reminder that this dweeb saw himself as a slavemaster in a post-collapse future
really ?
"I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”
That sure is something. Jesus Christ.
Never seen a picture of him, I think I could wrestle a can of soup off him
The wrong reddit co-founder died.
RIP Aaron Swartz.
Someone look into it i heard he was into free speech and i wouldn’t put it past spez to kill that guy for some personel gain.
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.
You can’t mention those and not mention Larry Ellison. If it weren’t for him, OpenOffice wouldn’t have forked.
wait explain im confused
Mentioning Larry Ellison by name feels redundant. Like saying Earth is part of our solar system.
The link doesn’t load. What did Gates do that you‘d put him in the same category as the rest?
He is notorious for Microsoft’s anti-competitive practices in the 1990s. But, I wouldn’t put him in that company today. His philanthropy since leaving Microsoft is no joke.
Gates continued his bullshit well into his philanthrophy days.
And it looks like that the invidious instance that served my original post’s link is temprarily down. So here’s another link.
He DM’d me and told me my elbows are too pointy. 😞
That’s a quality example of a lame insult, I think I’ll borrow it
Removed by mod
“The best union organiser is the boss” sort of vibe
Who is this 😅
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.
We all know the BIGGEST promoter of the Fediverse but he’s certainly the biggest for Lemmy!
Elon should buy reddit too.
That way he can kill two toxic platforms!
This is Elon Musk erasure.
My first reaction upon seeing this picture is “that guy has serious nazi energy” Sure enough, I was right.
I see it too, but does he seriously? I used to go on reddit a lot, but never followed the personalities very closely
i dont think so, but he did edit peoples comments so they agreed with what spez believes
and reddit used to have a running joke of mods and admins being nazis, which the admins also joked about but that was a decade ago
There are a fair few mods who are genuinely installed by the admins to be fascists, and if any of the other mods complain they get kicked out. Also I have yet to see a single instance of some group in power joking that they’re nazis where they didn’t end up actually being nazis.
He’s famous for having said that he’s looking forward to the zombie apocalypse because it would let him live his fantasy of being a slaver.
There was also a hate subreddit where the mods all had a collective turn of heart and decided to shut down, but then reddit stepped in, reestablished the place, cleared house and then installed a new set of mods so that the subreddit could keep running. Yes, seriously.
nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face
That’s no way to talk about Lemmy’s single greatest advocate!
May he be forever fucked.
Reddit is the only major platform I’ve ever been banned from. And no it wasn’t intentional.
Reddit summarized: I got temp banned from a subreddit for calling a neo-nazi a cracker so I made the mod’s message “Calling someone a cracker isn’t standing up to racism” my flair on SubredditDrama where I proceeded to get perm banned from for spoiling Hogwarts Legacy before literally everyone on that subreddit started doing it so it was reduced to a temp. Oh and that one time I got a perm from a certain hexbear-affiliated subreddit for pointing out that some guy receiving a bunch of positive attention was probably an anti-semite but it would be a few years later before I got banned entirely off that site. Point is, reddit mods will ban you over the stupidest shit.
