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

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

    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.

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

      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.

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

        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.
