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
Oh hey, it’s cunt face.
less attractive, more punchable bad luck brian
Bad idea Brian.
Not as attractive as a cunt or an asshole, he’s a dickface.
Idk, dicks can be pretty hot. A hairy ballsack, now that’s almost universally seen as not attractive
Please do not insult my ballsack like that.
As a lifelong dick owner I tend to disagree. But to each their own.
Oh I respect that, I can see why someone wouldn’t like them.
Can I get a ‘fuck spez’
fuck spez
Fuck spez
Fuck Spez
Pretty sure that was my last Reddit comment. Can’t check because I haven’t seen my account since Apollo died.
RIP Apollo 🪦
Heil spez
nsfw tag please? I nearly vomited from seeing his face
That’s no way to talk about Lemmy’s single greatest advocate!
May he be forever fucked.
This is Elon Musk erasure.

Is the next step for Reddit to make all users pay?
Are you talking money, or more in the “make them pay for their insolence” kind of pay? I think we already have the latter.
Apparently not, since they are taking away the meaningless Internet awards that were essentially a free source of money. I’m still baffled by that situation.
Haven’t you heard? They’re bringing it back, exactly as before, except now you can receive money for being awarded.
Which is going to go so goddamn terribly in no time flat.

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.
I don’t even need to adjust to a new app anymore now that boost is here lol
Boost was the BEST app (in my opinion) for Reddit. I was excited yesterday when I finally got the notification that Boost for Lemmy was out!
It’s WHAT‽
My guy I need to get in on that, brb!
The app you used for taking a shit took a shit? How ironic.
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.
You can’t mention those and not mention Larry Ellison. If it weren’t for him, OpenOffice wouldn’t have forked.
wait explain im confused
Yes, I would also like to know about this Larry Ellison.
Mentioning Larry Ellison by name feels redundant. Like saying Earth is part of our solar system.
The link doesn’t load. What did Gates do that you‘d put him in the same category as the rest?
He is notorious for Microsoft’s anti-competitive practices in the 1990s. But, I wouldn’t put him in that company today. His philanthropy since leaving Microsoft is no joke.
Gates continued his bullshit well into his philanthrophy days.
And it looks like that the invidious instance that served my original post’s link is temprarily down. So here’s another link.
My first reaction upon seeing this picture is “that guy has serious nazi energy” Sure enough, I was right.
I see it too, but does he seriously? I used to go on reddit a lot, but never followed the personalities very closely
i dont think so, but he did edit peoples comments so they agreed with what spez believes
and reddit used to have a running joke of mods and admins being nazis, which the admins also joked about but that was a decade ago
There are a fair few mods who are genuinely installed by the admins to be fascists, and if any of the other mods complain they get kicked out. Also I have yet to see a single instance of some group in power joking that they’re nazis where they didn’t end up actually being nazis.
He’s famous for having said that he’s looking forward to the zombie apocalypse because it would let him live his fantasy of being a slaver.
There was also a hate subreddit where the mods all had a collective turn of heart and decided to shut down, but then reddit stepped in, reestablished the place, cleared house and then installed a new set of mods so that the subreddit could keep running. Yes, seriously.

Never forget that this cunt took the best parts of Reddit from us, cheers for that mate
Man, he even looks like a cunt.
The wrong reddit co-founder died.
RIP Aaron Swartz.
Who is this 😅
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.
Fuck spez
And thanks spez
Lmao thx
Came here to say this
“The best union organiser is the boss” sort of vibe
When I look at the guy and then at what he did. I think he really looks the part.
Same. My very first thought upon seeing a picture of this ghoul was “of course he looks like that”
This picture doesn’t show his teeth. Dude’s got some fucked up teeth.
Right?! Why does he look exactly like the kind of guy that would moderate r/Jailbait?
Reddit is the only major platform I’ve ever been banned from. And no it wasn’t intentional.
I was banned from /r/funny for commenting on a spam post, place is so dumb
banned from /r/halo, these people/mods are thick, no offense meant, but thick

My 12 year account was banned. Still not sure why. Prior to that, i was banned from r/idiotsincars for speaking out against stereotypical jokes on Asians with bad driving by stating the statistics that Asians are not the worst driver. I guess that ruined their joke in that subreddit. Then they shadow banned me. My new accounts posts can’t be seen by the public.
See I kept trying to tell people, cuz I was in that Century Club thing that you get from having me a certain amount of likes my comment or Good Karma or whatever.
And I told people that sub reddit bans need to be made 90 days of the longest, simply because the permanent bans were being blatantly abused.
I had many people agreeing with me
Seems like they doubled down
To be honest, Reddit is too liberal. And this is coming from a long time liberal voter. You can’t say anything anymore. Everything is sensitive and inappropriate base on what’s trendy. Freedom of speech means there should be of different voices. But reddit only wants certain voices. Apparently, the downvoting system is not enough. They have to go extra step to let a small group of individuals to decide, okay this guy will be forever banned from posting on Reddit. That’s insane amount of power and influence. I now lost my voice on one of the most popular and engaging social media platform. Crazy huh.
Exactly, honestly, even though it’s not as okay to say as it used to be, it almost felt liberating to see the word “retarded” used on a forum without that person being automatically banned.
Reddit summarized: I got temp banned from a subreddit for calling a neo-nazi a cracker so I made the mod’s message “Calling someone a cracker isn’t standing up to racism” my flair on SubredditDrama where I proceeded to get perm banned from for spoiling Hogwarts Legacy before literally everyone on that subreddit started doing it so it was reduced to a temp. Oh and that one time I got a perm from a certain hexbear-affiliated subreddit for pointing out that some guy receiving a bunch of positive attention was probably an anti-semite but it would be a few years later before I got banned entirely off that site. Point is, reddit mods will ban you over the stupidest shit.
It really is telling that I’ve been on the internet since way before I should have been on the internet, and the only thing I’ve ever been banned from are various credits and then Reddit itself.
