“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

But the people familiar with Reddit vastly out number the others that matter though?

We don’t need other people knowing who Huffman is, we need more redditors aware of what’s going on.

Fighting the wrong fight my friend.

Who the hell is gonna fire him, though? That's like clamoring for Mark Zuckerberg to be fired. It's probably impossible to.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He already cashed out so I suspect his CEO position is more of a "he knows what he's doing so we'll hire him" than a "I own all of this, so I'm CEO". Unless they were dumb enough to give him a controlling portion of shares as compensation.

That said, they have no reason to listen to people posting on the internet about it. If he gets fired, it'll be over his results not some internet whining. Those who have the influence to get that done know that Hoffman is spez.

The only thing that doing this might accomplish is making it harder for him and others who happen to share his name to get hired in the future. But even that is iffy IMO.

To be fair, no one should fuck Spez, or do anything that would even temporarily improve the quality of his life.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

He needs to get fucked, though, just not by another person.

Or create more comment and repost bots to dilute the content even further, sure initially it’ll look like increased real engagement but it would drive more power users and content creators away

I got banned from Reddit so I can't help, but still fire Steve Huffman!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So did I. Why did you get banned?

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Making fun of Americans, I suspect it may have been a mod, as I had been doing so for quite a long time

And yeah, I'm telling you this when you're probably American too

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm Canadian haha.

I got banned for posting pictures of Nazis on r/beholdthemasterrace; I took the photos off Nazi Facebook profiles, and one of them found out and complained to Reddit admin, and they banned me.

So Reddit literally sided with Nazis.

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I once got banned for posting a picture of an Astolfo in nazi uniform behind a nazi flag as a way to parody the stereotype of croats being nazi femboys (it was a Balkan irony sub) but after a week or so I got unbanned

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's kind of amazing how tech sides with fascism isn't it?

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nah they side with whoever has a thinner skin. The ones with a thinner skin will report you faster and get you banned

[-] bownt@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

do not tell me how to live my life

[-] c0c0c0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Is this the right place? I feel like most of us in the fediverse are past "fixing" Reddit and are now just gleefully watching it burn.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't seen the point of saying anything against the man who is the face of a group of people who are only interested in milking all the money they can out of reddit. It's just an expression of anger.

I have much more appreciation for "so long, and thanks for all the fish"

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How about "Not My King", "I Stand with the Landed Gentry", or "Down With King Steven the Turd"

[-] WookieMunster@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

why compare him to a king at all?

I thought his first name was Fart?

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wait... I thought we were trying to get Huffman some bitches??

Cmon ladies 'Fuck Spez'.

Seems like a popular fellow, what's the issue?

[-] BuckRowdy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
