Removed by mod
His face is so disgustingly asymmetrical. He looks inbred.
There’s enough ways to hate him without getting into shaming things he can’t change.
He can’t change that he used to mod a certain sub, and we can certainly shame him for that.
True. He deserves to be shamed for that. Either he’s a creep or he’s incompetent.
No need to bring appearance into it at all.
Are you saying he doesn’t deserve to have his feelings hurt?
More like “save ad hominem attacks for when you have nothing valid hate”
Unless they deserve to be made to feel bad about themselves.
An attack on a person’s features also attacks other people with those features. Trump is fat. I am fat. Trump is a fascist. I am not
Ad hominem attacks are intellectually lazy and have unintentional effects.
If you’re a good person, and your face is as asymmetrical as his, you still just look gross. Sorry if that upsets you.
Well it would be pretty unfortunate if you looked like Steve Huffman but were generally a good guy, and had to listen to people bag on your appearance all day.
Bullying someone for the shitty things they’ve done is one thing, bullying someone for their genetic physicality is lazy.
But I’m bullying someone about their appearance FOR the bad things they’ve done
I am.
My thinking: forget about technicalities of wherever he was an inactive “moderator”…
…focus on where he was an active administrator. NSFW ex. (link courtesy previous comment thread). Which includes the subreddit the OP is about, to be sure.
I don’t want links I want somebody to tell me what the sub is.
It’s r/CuteFemaleCorpses. At least that’s what the ppl are talking about and where the link leads to.
It looks like he was assigned as mod in a time when you could assign any valid username as a moderator to a sub. He was also assigned to r/jailbait among others.
Right, hence my top-level comment and the previous discussion about it - given your link aversion:
~Spez was the mod of a vile sub!~ Spez was the admin of an entire site with many vile subs.
The more-easily-defensible criticism is also the harsher criticism.
Just use your words ffs
It’s r/cutefemalecorpses and r/jailbait, how hard is that that you would mess it up multiple times?
i agree. but btw, if ur on android, u can use an app like UrlChecker to preview the link before opening, or maybe your lemmy client has a ‘view source’ option.
Oh, that’s great, im on my ISP watch list now, thanks
Oh Spez.
I remember when “the other site” launched an instant messaging feature. It was buggy as hell and interfered with my browsing experience on the site. Totally didn’t expect anything to come of it, but mostly jokingly messaged Spez through the new feature knowing it would go to an endless abyss never to be seen again. Surprisingly he responded. Cordial but ultimately also not at all helpful. But some time later (maybe a month?), the bug I messaged him about was fixed. So, maybe it wasn’t all fruitless.
Is there a body to this post? I can’t see one on my Lemmy client, but everyone seems to be responding to something.
Same, I see nothing but the title in the body.
I wonder if he ever got a ride in Epstein’s aeroplane…
If anyone wants another reason to hate spez, just look into his relationship with Drewiepoodle, aka /u/awkwardtheturtle, a misandristic degenerate who dedicated their free time to the noble cause of bullying men online because they were butthurt their wife transitioned. Reddit only suspended their account to stop people from asking questions, but they have self reported that they constantly use alts to ban evade.
This is just spreading misinformation…
There are plenty of reason to not like him but this is not one of them.Much like reddit, if you don’t go with lemming’s preconceived “facts”, you’re wrong.
Someone stuck him as a mod. And below we got a poster saying, “He was clearly aware of the situation.”
Yeah, the CEO of a major company is out there worrying about BS details like this. OR, he did know about it, and as a CEO of a major website, was too dumb to see it was a bad look?
LOL, I give no fucks about the man, but spreading lies around here is making us just like reddit.
You know they made a custom award for the creator of the jailbait sub called “Pimp Daddy,” right? And that for a long time one of the autosuggested results from Google when you googled reddit was the jailbait sub? Do you think a CEO of a “major company” (not what reddit was at the time, they were still desperately drumming up users) is somehow unaware of what shows up when you google their company?
They were aware of it and had been for years before it was shut down, anyone saying otherwise is feeding you PR spin.
Oh no! I’m not saying spez was unaware of the filthy subreddits, just that he might not have known he was made a mod on them.
Someone was clearly fucking with him, either for a lark or because they hated him. But no, they were all well aware of shit like /r/jailbait. As you said, they were madly trying to drum up users.
We look like Reddit because we are filled with disgruntled reddit users.
He was listed as a mod on jailbait for quite a while. This information was pointed out over and over again on a website he ran, and he chose to do nothing about it. He was clearly aware of the situation.
It was jailbait wasn’t it?
Yes, and also /r/ihaveaverysmallpenis
Is that a joke or not the onion?
To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.
Can’t you do that on Lemmy now?
I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world
Hmm… not sure. That’s interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.
Look at me, I am the mods now.
One thing I will not miss is the self important super moderators who patrol the site flexing on anyone as they act as self appointed guardians of morality , always ready with a script to mass ban someone who displeases them from hundreds of subreddits for the most petty of reasons , such as disagreeing with them and worse , being provably right.
