Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lol

The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them

Final edit: It'd be great if someone could post about this on r/ModSupport. I've thrice attempted to do so from this and an alt account and all of...

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.

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.

Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk as protests rock platform

Twitter owner Elon Musk may have had an influence on Reddit’s CEO ahead of changes to the website that have resulted in a user-led rebellion on the platform.

This is probably the subreddit spam filter or AutoMod, not something Reddit is doing.
Well, they have enacted an auto-mod removal of any post with "fuck spez" in it now. So, yea, they are actively censoring posts.

But that would be the subreddit's mod team, not necessarily the Reddit admins. I'm willing to bet those posts will go through on other subreddits.

If I had to guess, the mod team is aggressive with removing those kinds of posts because Reddit has been ban-happy and they don't want to give Reddit a reason to remove the sub for "harassment".

Is there a difference? Or a difference that actually matters?

Yes. The actions of the sub's moderation team are distinct from the actions of Reddit admins. AutoMod is run by moderators. And specifically that subreddit hates the admins.

I mentioned this elsewhere - but Reddit has shown they are willing to ban places for the smallest perceived slight. That subreddit is used to coordinate the protests (alongside a private Discord for mods).

My guess is that AutoMod is aggressive on that subreddit because the admins are going to be looking for an excuse to ban it and the mods don't want to give them one. So by setting an aggressive AutoMod, the mods can keep the community focused on its purpose - moderator coordination - and avoid the potential of a false ban for so-called "harassment".

These posts were literally up for an entire day before they all suddenly start getting removed.
