So, not only this promotes itself to be a copy of Reddit, but also trashes the CEO in the name of the clone. Now don't get me wrong, I support the protest and an alternative to reddit. However, the way this is framed sounds like a one way street to a losing lawsuit. At least a very expensive one.
- alpaca128 3y agoYou're making this sound a lot more heinous than it is. The name of the site just implies it doesn't involve Spez, and it's just a nickname. There's a large difference between "spezless" and something like "huffmansucks".
- laserbeam 3y agoI'm trying to put myself into spez's shoes. If I were him, I would sue. Sure... It's quite benign at surface level, but I'd definitely sue if this became popular.

- alpaca128 3y ago> I'm trying to put myself into spez's shoes. If I were him, I would sue. Yes, that's what I'd expect from an admin who abuses their power to win arguments through manipulation and falsely accuses others of blackmailing him while being disproven by evidence. If he sues "spezless" it's not because he's being reasonable, but because he's spez.
- kjeksfjes 3y agoLol. Huffman has the legal rights and ownership of the name spez, as much as you have the legal rights and ownership of the name laserbeam.
