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 11 months 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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 34 points 11 months ago

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

May he be forever fucked.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 83 points 11 months ago (4 children)

This is Elon Musk erasure.

Is the next step for Reddit to make all users pay?

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 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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 11 months 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

[–] mxd2@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Fuck spez

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

[–] Mitch404@lemm.ee 31 points 11 months ago

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 11 months 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!

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 22 points 11 months 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 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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?

[–] MarioBarisa@lemmy.ml 21 points 11 months ago

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

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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
