r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them
the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they’ll run a query for terms like “fuck spez”. only to find my comment invisible, because they’re already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it’s active right now.
So he is the new Elon Musk when it comes to fragile ego?
He looks up to Musk so…yeah.
“free speech absolutist”
But no saying “cisgender!” You’ll trigger him!
almost read it as abolitionist
“free speech for me, not for thee” absolutist

This is the way
Fuck spez. See? Got no power here.
Oh goodness, could you even write a filter for zalgo? I don’t think you could
Run the text through a normalizer that strips combining characters then run your filter.
There are characters that have two or three combining diacritic marks already included, so if you start with one of those, it’ll make it harder to filter out.

That’s what the normalizer is for. Normalize to NFD, strip combiners, map homoglyphs to ASCII, and look for ASCII “fuck spez”.
they’re getting crazier and crazier by the hour. spez is executing order 66
The board must be getting tired of this by now. He’s showing that he doesn’t know how to handle their user base.
Just before IPO.
Right after announcing that reddit isn’t profitable and his solution is a PR disaster over 3% of site traffic.
I fear the board is just as deluded as he is.
At this rate he’ll be in a bunker next week claiming mods have taken over the Reddit headquarters.
He does have a bunker. He’s a prepper: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich
As a kiwi…
Dear rich American assholes… Fuck off
Thanks
Well, rich assholes in general can all fuck off, no matter where they’re from.
God Huffman comes across as such a insufferable fuckwit in that article.
Haha what an absolute loser
- argv_minus_one ( @argv_minus_one@beehaw.org ) 2•2 years ago
Those bunkers, if activated, will be their tombs. They’ll be killed and eaten by their own security guards once the collapse of society renders their wealth meaningless.
The best place to be in a nuclear war is ground zero.

Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon “Thin-skinned” Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.
He probably finally googled himself and found the 32 million instances of “fuck spez” that pop up.
I’m new here and I’m not entirely sure what “boost” does but whatever it does I think this needs it.
“boost” is a mastodon term, it’s used there as a “retweet” so you just basically “retweeted” the comment, this only shows up on the “Microblog” tab.
Finally? That egomaniac probably googles himself after waking up and 5 more times throughout the day
He has a live feed built into the wall of his shower so he can pretend he isn’t crying while he scrolls
It’s down to 300.000 for me. Google can’t index Reddit that fast, can it?
Do you have safe search disabled?
Of course. After a fresh install, safe search lasts for about 1.5 searches until I realize it’s on. 😆
Yeah, spez has shown himself to actually hold Muskrat in high regard, even as he’s breaking contracts left and right and being evicted from offices. It’s painfully obvious that Elon’s purposefully and maliciously breaking rental agreements to get out of his leases, and it’s going to lead to lawsuits.
This is whose business sense spez is publicly praising. It’s clear who and what he sees as inspiration.
I think it’s worse than that. He is just an Elon simp that happened to find some amount of success and accidentally became CEO of something.
People would think a CEO is too rich and important to get personally involved with this, but I swear reading the shill comments and how personal they take things makes me think spez himself is behind them pounding on his keyboard all day lol
After everybody saw Elon on Twitter, I’m surprised people didn’t think this would happen.
By spez’s own account, it would appear that he’s been influenced by elon’s pettiness and his thin as wet toilet paper, skin.
How tf you watch Elon wreck twitter and say “I want that for me”
It makes sense if what you value is control and domination, and not - say - profits or social good.
Wouldn’t surprise me, he certainly has the time for it. The average real workload for a CEO is vanishingly small.
Remember, Elon Musk is CEO of FOUR companies. It’s not a particularly demanding job.
People would think a CEO is too rich and important to get personally involved with this
Nah, Musk already breached that barrier a while ago.

There will be no dissent on the front page of the internet!
Definitely looks like they are managing their priorities well… /s
Spez will also suspend your account if it has spez in the name
Ah shit, I was about to claim SpezialRedditOperazion
- argv_minus_one ( @argv_minus_one@beehaw.org ) 2•2 years ago
Sure enough, /u/DeliciousPez is indeed suspended.
See also the Scunthorpe problem.
Is this something new? Is the same thing happening with the rest of the admins?
This is my tinfoil hat most likely, but I’ve also noticed a number of comments critical of Reddit that can only be downvoted. Upvotes error out. Official app for info.
There’s also a whole lot of gaslighting responses that pretend everything is roses and sunshine and the mods are being bitches.
Two accounts I’m tracking appear to have been dormant for years (while existing for 10+ years) and only now joining into the fray to defend reddit and spaz.
Publicly dormant <> inactive. They could have been lurking on subs without sharing their subscriptions, votes, etc. This might just have been the thing that finally pissed them off
No tin foil needed say they’re also using Bots to promote and support spez and downvote everything else negative about Reddit
Every so often I think “well every company is shit so why not go back to the communities I love on Reddit”. Then another thing like this surfaces and it reinforces my boycott.
A lot of people send me Reddit links. Is there any way to load them without actually visiting the site? Like a mirror or archive?
You can also use LibRedirect addon to redirect Reddit/Twitter/etc automatically to alternative frontends.
Interesting. Does it rely on the API? It just states “All requests go through the backend” but if this got popular, wouldn’t it eventually hit the same API call limit apps are facing?
You have also other privately run instances, you can check the list on Github or somewhere else
Have saw this front end mentioned someware. Didn’t tried it though.
Bad move to use reddit in a name for a product that is nearly identical to the other company’s product which has a trademark on the name.
It’s time we grow up and behave like an adult company
Uh huh.
That fragile little cunt…
His fragility is showing.
Competition time: Who can come up with the best “Fuck Spez” ASCII art that will display correctly in reddit commits.
