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 56 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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 (2 children)

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 (2 children)

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

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.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago (3 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

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Who is this 😅

[–] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 80 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] hackitfast@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Fuck spez

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

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 (2 children)

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!

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?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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 (2 children)

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

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

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

Lemmy, sure, but probably not the fediverse I'd guess, since the most popular fedi platform is mastodon, meant to recreate Twitter rather than Reddit
