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
What man? All I see is a greedy, little pig-boy.
He is a world-class moron, no doubt about it.
This is Elon Musk erasure.

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.
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.
Lmao thx
Obligatory fuck u/spez
Came here to say this
Oh look, a goatse. That takes me back.
“The best union organiser is the boss” sort of vibe
Reddit is the only major platform I’ve ever been banned from. And no it wasn’t intentional.
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.
Oh hey, it’s cunt face.
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
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.
Please do not insult my ballsack like that.
less attractive, more punchable bad luck brian
Bad idea Brian.
And yet he makes more money out of it.
Thats the real shame those enshittifications dont have consequences as long as people dont change and i know most wont
Wait, is that spez? I kinda pictured him looking more pale and android like, more similar to zuck than this.
I think he’s kind of cute, but I have a thing for blond guys.
Perhaps you have a blue light filter on? Pale and Android like is exactly what I’m seeing.
To me he looks a lot more human than zuck and slightly less pale. Maybe it’s the difference in screen/hardware, since I don’t use blue light filters and let my eyes burn.
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
Who is that young boy and why isn’t he in school?
Everyone at school was legally required to bully him and it was talking up too much time from everyone’s schedules (not to mention the regular bullies who basically had their duties doubled, underpaid teachers had to bully him in their spare time, etc) … so they told him he was a boy genius, gave him a degree & threw him out - now he’s everyone else’s problem.
Why does he always look as if he’s hoarding nuts in his cheeks like a squirrel?
We all know the BIGGEST promoter of the Fediverse but he’s certainly the biggest for Lemmy!
Elon should buy reddit too.
That way he can kill two toxic platforms!
