I recognize that guy. He was a moderator of the r/jailbait subreddit for the many, many years it was hosted on Reddit.com.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Is that true? Holy moly!
Your source admits Spez was a jailbait mod. MAYBE he was made one without knowing, but he DEFINITELY could have removed himself and didn’t.
Spez was a jailbait mod for years. That’s a fact.
btw I actually might be helping you attack him better
Instead of a spurious claim he actively managed a pedo sub—
—a more definite claim he permitted a pedo sub to remain on his site? (Assuming he was aware of the sub, which I bet you could find indications of)

Of the three people involved in Reddit's creation, he was the most useless and antithetical to reddit's greater vision.
Swartz was a far better person.
Those are always the guys that wrest control though. They have no contributions, so instead they spend their time scheming.

Oh so now they don't like ads
Only ads that serve them are allowed
I’m sure their next “Reddit Event” will not have a real time chat.
I bet you are right lol
Aww, you hurt their delicate fee-fees! How mean! /s
Also, lol at that pathetic sycophant's reply below your comment. Dude needs to stop twerking for spez.
Who is that comment even aimed at? Being that it is right under OP's comment in (what I presume to be) a busy chat, I doubt it is a response to OP.

There were many like that, lol!
Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

So...what exactly was this event? Was it like a AMA? Or was it like one of those corporate circle jerk things where everyone says what they are supposed to say?
If I’m guessing correctly, it’s a modcon, which makes it even more pathetic for mods to attend an event hosted by the very people who have given them grief this past few months, just so they can feel special with their own exclusive event.
Yes, that's what it was. I went in just to mess when Spez was gonna talk.

I got banned because I said "lemmy dot world" in reply to someone who said they wished reddit had an alternative.
We must all remember spez’ has an abnormal love of cats, among his other issues. Like keeping slaves and resource hoarding.
Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
Come to reddit, we have CEO who's an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.

lol you fucking legend.
If he doesn't want to accept dissenting opinions, he should do like Mr. Burns and only allow prefabricated text.
Lisa: "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"

Don't forget, he used to moderate r/jailbait.
Heard this is a myth but by all means continue to propagate this rumor 🥳
If i recall, at the time sub owners could designate anyone as a moderator without them having to accept the position, meaning that its very possible he was made a mod of the subreddit as a joke/troll but never actually interacted with it.
Hes still a dipshit though

Spez has like a bunch of fore written answers and then tries to fit them in the questions asked
-TitusRex, hero, probably banned now as well
lmao
Screw Reddit and spez. You did well, OP!
He did a talk and Q&A in England awhile back at I believe Oxford and he kept checking his watch, it just seemed rude.

he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank.
What a fun little image that conjures up.
I hadn't thought about it until now but what do redditors who didn't migrate say about us? I'm really curious now but I don't want to look. I've only been on the site a couple times since the blackout and they were for specific reasons * I don't want to ruin my streak * . Does anyone here use both regularly?
