A moment of appreciation for a man who is undoubtedly the world's most successful promoter of Lemmy and the fediverse (lemmy.ml)

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

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

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 82 points 2 years ago (9 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 23 points 2 years 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?

[–] nomecks@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Are you talking money, or more in the "make them pay for their insolence" kind of pay? I think we already have the latter.

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 30 points 2 years ago (2 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.

[–] intothemild@lemmy.ml 41 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The wrong reddit co-founder died.

[–] thisisnotgoingwell@programming.dev 34 points 2 years ago

RIP Aaron Swartz.

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

Who is this 😅

[–] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 76 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

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.

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?

[–] BurnedDonutHole@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

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

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Wait, is that spez? I kinda pictured him looking more pale and android like, more similar to zuck than this.

We all know the BIGGEST promoter of the Fediverse but he's certainly the biggest for Lemmy!

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

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
