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

the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they'll run a query for terms like "fuck spez". only to find my comment invisible, because they're already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it's active right now.

So he is the new Elon Musk when it comes to fragile ego?

[–] [email protected] 89 points 1 year ago

He looks up to Musk so....yeah.

they're getting crazier and crazier by the hour. spez is executing order 66

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The board must be getting tired of this by now. He's showing that he doesn't know how to handle their user base.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Just before IPO.

Right after announcing that reddit isn't profitable and his solution is a PR disaster over 3% of site traffic.

At this rate he'll be in a bunker next week claiming mods have taken over the Reddit headquarters.

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.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 1 year ago (5 children)

He probably finally googled himself and found the 32 million instances of "fuck spez" that pop up.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm new here and I'm not entirely sure what "boost" does but whatever it does I think this needs it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"boost" is a mastodon term, it's used there as a "retweet" so you just basically "retweeted" the comment, this only shows up on the "Microblog" tab.

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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (4 children)

People would think a CEO is too rich and important to get personally involved with this, but I swear reading the shill comments and how personal they take things makes me think spez himself is behind them pounding on his keyboard all day lol

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After everybody saw Elon on Twitter, I'm surprised people didn't think this would happen.

Wouldn't surprise me, he certainly has the time for it. The average real workload for a CEO is vanishingly small.

Definitely looks like they are managing their priorities well... /s

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

There will be no dissent on the front page of the internet!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Spez will also suspend your account if it has spez in the name

Every so often I think “well every company is shit so why not go back to the communities I love on Reddit”. Then another thing like this surfaces and it reinforces my boycott.

A lot of people send me Reddit links. Is there any way to load them without actually visiting the site? Like a mirror or archive?

It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company

Uh huh.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is my tinfoil hat most likely, but I've also noticed a number of comments critical of Reddit that can only be downvoted. Upvotes error out. Official app for info.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also a whole lot of gaslighting responses that pretend everything is roses and sunshine and the mods are being bitches.

Two accounts I'm tracking appear to have been dormant for years (while existing for 10+ years) and only now joining into the fray to defend reddit and spaz.

Ahem....

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Competition time: Who can come up with the best "Fuck Spez" ASCII art that will display correctly in reddit commits.

I love being in a place where I can say fuck spez without censorship. Fuck spez!!! Just for good measure.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

This is probably the subreddit spam filter or AutoMod, not something Reddit is doing.

EDIT: By that, I mean - the mods likely set this up to avoid any pretext of the sub being banned for "harassment" and it's probably not something that Reddit (the corporation) did.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, they have enacted an auto-mod removal of any post with "fuck spez" in it now. So, yea, they are actively censoring posts.

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

I've noticed reddit now (apparently) also deletes mentions of Aimee Challenor.

The last blackout was in protest of mention of them being censored, apparently they secretely re-introduced it because it's not a great look that they hired someone who defended paedophiles.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Does the filter also catch HTML entities? If it doesn't, fuck /u/spez should still be visible.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This kind of news makes me wish I could re-delete my account once more just for fun. Seriously fuckspez

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, with them restoring deleted accounts and comments maybe you can lol

Lol, lmao

Every time I think he's reached a ceiling on his meltdown, he ups the ante.
Hufflepuff really is a sniveling whelp after Muskrat's own heart.

Shame it had to come to this. there are a lot of music composing related subreddit's I participated. Straight up hostility from reddit corporate are to overwhelming to have a good time. Today it was time to say goodbye.

What a whiny piss baby.
