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 57 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?

nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face

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 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

This is Elon Musk erasure.

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.

The wrong reddit co-founder died.

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

reminder that this dweeb saw himself as a slavemaster in a post-collapse future

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

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 36 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.

Who is this 😅

[–] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 83 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.

Man, he even looks like a cunt.

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.

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?

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!

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

[–] 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.

A man that declared that he got his vision surgically corrected because he looked forward to sniping "looters" from the lookout tower of his bunker is the most cringe imaginable Immortan Joe LARPer. bakunin-immortan
