Over the last few hours, many of the "FUCK SPEZ" drawings have started to be taken over by other image, causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this).

Except the fact that the over writing pixels all arrive in large blocks at the same time rather than individually like real users would place them, and also that they appear with no username attached to them like user placed ones?

They also went out of thier way to use the same checkerboard overwrites that they used on the guillotine, on a QR code that took people to a website promoting veganism.

    QR code was a mistake and does not suite that use case. Changing a few spots would have corrupted the URL whereas a "Lemmy" sign would've been much better. Even with corrupted pixels, it would still be distinctly recognizable.

    QR codes have error corrections up to about ~30% error tolerance when using the highest error correction level

    It's worth noting the QR code from earlier went to this site and was not lemmy related

    Ah, my mistake! I misunderstood when the post said "this site" I took it to mean "this site we are on" and I never bothered to check it.

    I'll edit my comment
