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

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

    I see it too, but does he seriously? I used to go on reddit a lot, but never followed the personalities very closely

    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.
