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.

[-] [email protected] 56 points 9 months ago

How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

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

nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face

[-] Imgonnatrythis 34 points 9 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

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

This is Elon Musk erasure.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

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] 34 points 9 months ago

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

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

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

[-] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago

Man, he even looks like a cunt.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

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

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

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

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

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

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

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] 21 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Imgonnatrythis 14 points 9 months ago

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