Ertebolle/r/place going full-on French Revolution now
The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard or whiteout circles and squares over that part. We need all hands on deck to overwhelm the admins!
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
The guy must be on some serious copium rx with all things going down
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
Probably a bit then
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?
Wouldn’t surprise me, Reddit admins keep acting in the same bad faith ways, but now we have a viable alternative platform
dylanTheDeveloperYeah 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.
Chtorr was their name, iirc.
Yes, that rings a bell
Random pixels? At this time of Reddit? In this part of r/place? Localized entirely on spez’s head?
samus12345Can I see it?
I’m sure it was just by chance.
LucidlethargyOh, we can all agree it’s not random at this point…
HubiIt’s the Admins, the new pixels don’t have any usernames attached to o them.
Who else? Seriously… Who else?
Literally anyone with 20 bots.
There is tremendous value in pursuing evidence for the things we believe, rather than spending life totally convinced that our first assumption is always the truth
DigitalAudioThat’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 thats why reddit sucks.
sabWriting "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.
The problem with reddit is, in my opinion, inherent to the way it’s designed. I think that similar to a monarchy, the previous system needs to be forgotten and improved upon. (Not to say that the aftermath of the French Revolution was a great improvement) Whether its spez or anyone else, you cannot make Reddit a healthy platform and go public.
Exactly this ⬆️
NepentheIt’s just like admins having the power to erase swastikas
Do you think they'll do this one day? Didn't Canada spend the entire time trying to un-swastika their flag last time, or am I misremembering?
Canada spent the whole time trying to draw the maple leaf. At one point their whole flag got banana’d.
ANGRY_MAPLEsad Canadian noise
Isn’t that just the sound maple syrup makes when hitting the forest floor instead of a bucket? I kid, I fucking love maple anything
Apathy TreeLicking maple trees, trust me, not the same maple flavor. 100% needs to be concentrated in some form, theeen it’s delicious.
I wonder if humans enjoy the taste of maple because of syrup, and if any other tree, should it produce more sugar/enough sap, would be equally yummy… other than like… coniferous… 🤮
Hmm google says walnut, birch, box elder and sycamore… I wonder what walnut syrup would taste like… brb planting a walnut.
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!
KlankySurprised they’re not selling blatant product advertisements for it!
Give it a few more hours
starmanIt was expected
I didn’t know you could up/downvote on imgur. I wonder where all the downvotes came from…
lol yes there’s a whole underground imgur social network full of users unaware that imgur was originally just an image hosting website for reddit. By default the images I uploaded were private but I decided to click the button to make them a public post just out of curiousity of what imgur’s opinion on the matter might be. Turns out it’s not interesting for them.
It was hilariously bizarre when it was discovered that a population of mole people had been living inside reddit’s image host for some period of time. Especially since they were were getting up in arms about how much reddit content was crowding up the site.
Wonder what life’s like in there these days.
BecomingTheFalconI was one of those mole people for a while before I made the jump to Reddit, and it was equally bizarre to me as an Imgur user that other Imgur users would get mad about all the Reddit content there. Like… that’s the whole POINT of this place isn’t it??
Mole people! Yeah, at some point the disconnect between the two populations resulted in losing track of history. I just remember browsing the drama and chuckling at the sheer indignation towards Redditors treating Imgur as their personal image hosting site. Redditors got to feel superior after discovering that Imgur existed to serve them, and Imgurians(?) got to experience the horror of learning that the world was not what they thought it was.
There was a surprising amount of confusion on both sides.
Huh I always wondered why the images I uploaded to imgur were always downvotes for some reason. Now it makes a lot more sense, because I was just using it as an image host for Reddit threads.
Should I feel bad about it?
Nah, that was it’s purpose. It’s like the pantry getting mad that you keep putting flour in it. That said there was more of a divergence once Reddit started hosting media directly and Imgur essentially gained its independence, so maybe they’re more aggressively anti-hosting content these days.
I guess you could always mark everything private so it only shows up by following the link, but I was already out of touch a decade ago when it came to the Imgur community, so I’m basically just a random bystander at this point.
If this was being done over lemmy with lemmy.word admin name in it, would it be censored?
Come on man, that’s Ruud.
That’s comparing apples and community centers; people would just leave and block this instance.
That’s some bullshit right there. Thanks for capturing it.
Quebec still representing on Reddit is ironic and embarrassing.
Again, this is why the correct protest should have been to make everything Black or White.
Again, this is why the correct protest should have been to make every pixel White.
