The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart.
No, I'm sure that's a "silent majority" of users who support everything that Reddit The Company does banding together to stamp out the minority of noisy rabble-rousers. /s
Sure, the silent majority of spez's accounts
I actually saw that happen in real time, did we confirm it was an admin action?
All the pixels came in at the same time
If you spend time watching /r/place you see that pictures mostly form in a natural, progressive way. This is the only place you see hundreds of pixels being changed uniformly all at once. Even bots would be making more gradual changes than this. It's clearly someone who has a brush tool for censoring.
Wasn't an admin caught doing something similar last time place came around?
Yeah and when I pointed it out I copped 3 day suspension with no message
Idk how many times this has to happen before people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Random pixels? At this time of Reddit? In this part of r/place? Localized entirely on spez's head?
Yes!
Can I see it?
No.
It's the Admins, the new pixels don't have any usernames attached to them.
Who else? Seriously... Who else?
That's how it has always been for all places. Admins have the power to erase anything that goes against Reddit's ToS. Depicting spez under the guillotine is against their ToS, but writing "fuck spez" isn't, which is why one gets deleted and the other remains.
It makes sense IMO. It's just like admins having the power to erase swastikas, homophobic or transphobic content, blatant product advertisements and so on. Nothing wrong with it, IMO.
They didnt depict him being decapitated, but his Snoo (i believe those are called Snoos) being decapitated. I think those are two entirely different things, especially given the french revolution theme around it.
Admins are being pussies imo. (After making a very bad decision in returning /r/place) They are of course fully within their right to, and that's why reddit sucks.
Writing "spez" on the face of the alien was probably a mistake if they didn't want to get censored.
True, but I don't think the message comes across the same without it.
I think there's too much focus on spez and not enough on Reddit. He is making some bad decisions for sure, but in the end the problem with Reddit is much greater than whoever happens to be the CEO.
It's easy to direct hate towards an individual, but I think it might not be particularly fruitful.
Surprised they’re not selling blatant product advertisements for it!
I don't know, I'm seeing a pretty large and blatant product advert on there for Boner Kebab right now.
Reddit is pro-advertisers now, so not an issue!
I refuse to help Reddit artificially juice their active users metrics by signing back in to contribute, but this is pretty funny
Yeah, I find protesting Reddit by using Reddit to be incredibly stupid. Just leave and don't touch it at all, if their user metrics and site traffic are so low, then they're just gonna lose their advertisers, which is probably one of their main sources of income.
Honorable mention to the people giving shooting star awards (you know, the EXPENSIVE one) to all of the comments on /r/place. Sure did show them there didn't you!
Some people were premium subscribers for years. They probably just used their accumulated coins since they're being taken away soon.
You have to use the mobile app too. This is purely a stunt to get app adoption.
Don't participate. It's a literal trap. Fuck spez by using Lemmy, friends.
I love seeing this, but they hold all the cards... They will censor all of this.
It's why I signed up. I've been looking for an alternative. This is great so far.
We did on r/lemmy. It was removed
Thankfully they are making it super easy for me to resist placing pixels this year. Doesn't work on old.reddit, only works on new reddit or their official mobile app. No way in hell I'm downloading that piece of crap app and I don't feel like swapping back and forth between old and new site designs.
I won’t lie to you Lemmings. Everyone who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an admin has been banned.
Are you saying that one day I can evade getting banned?
No, I'm saying one day you won't have to.
These people cannot control themselves. They're protesting a company by making them money.
Redditors on their way to do everything except stop using reddit.
and the admins nuked it.
Lurker on Reddit, first comment on Lemmy. Let us hope this will become the better alternative 🙏
It already is :-)
