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

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.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you got your news from reddit for a decade?

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago

That's not what he said but I sense you're going to have an opinion to share about it anyway.

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

Come on guys, it’s not funny anymore. Give him back his chin.

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

Mandatory fuck Reddit is in order...

[–] MarioBarisa@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

really ?

"I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

Never seen a picture of him, I think I could wrestle a can of soup off him

[–] emilygage@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

That sure is something. Jesus Christ.

lol, the post-collapse Zoomer warlords would cook and eat him

Can I get a 'fuck spez'

[–] BubblyMango@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

How about „u/spez ist ein Hurensohn“?

Thank u/spez

Oh look, a goatse. That takes me back.

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can't mention those and not mention Larry Ellison. If it weren't for him, OpenOffice wouldn't have forked.

He wants to deep kiss Zuckerberg... at both ends of Zuckerberg.

He's also got his eye on musk the blot. Good loving there too!

[–] Answare@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You could even say he'll zuck the berg out of mark

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Reddit is the only major platform I've ever been banned from. And no it wasn't intentional.

He looks like a teenager still living in his moms basement

My first reaction upon seeing this picture is "that guy has serious nazi energy" Sure enough, I was right.

This is Elon Musk erasure.

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

Just erased all my comments and deleted my account. I will be a read-only user, because YourSearchEngine will probably suggest me some reddit results in my tech/misc requests.

EDIT: I refer to the tool i used here: https://lemmy.ninja/comment/1943034

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

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?

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Who is this 😅

[–] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 3 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.
