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

Can I get a 'fuck spez'

[-] BubblyMango@lemmy.wtf 52 points 1 year ago

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

[-] far_university1990@feddit.de 56 points 1 year ago

How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?

[-] asperagus@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

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

Pretty sure that was my last Reddit comment. Can’t check because I haven’t seen my account since Apollo died.

nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago

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

May he be forever fucked.

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 82 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

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

This is Elon Musk erasure.

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 56 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I see it too, but does he seriously? I used to go on reddit a lot, but never followed the personalities very closely

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] intothemild@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago

The wrong reddit co-founder died.

[-] thisisnotgoingwell@programming.dev 37 points 1 year ago

RIP Aaron Swartz.

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

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same. My very first thought upon seeing a picture of this ghoul was "of course he looks like that"

Man, he even looks like a cunt.

[-] Mitch404@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago

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

[-] HornyOnMain@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

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

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Geriatrickid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

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

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

[-] MarioBarisa@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

He DM'd me and told me my elbows are too pointy. 😞

Who is this 😅

[-] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 59 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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?
