Taking bets all the "fuck spez" will magically start to get uncontrollably overwritten a few minutes before the canvas closes...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not betting against that. Probably it'll be black barred and they'll say it's a technical glitch.

they’ll say it’s a technical glitch.

They'll just say it's against ToS.

Per The Verge:

When asked if Reddit will remove the protesting messages [nb: "fuck /u/spez"], spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr pointed to the r/Place canvas rules. One of those rules says that β€œtargeted hate or harassment of private individuals (including mods and admin) and protected groups are violations of our [content] policy (Rule 1) and will be removed. In addition, posts, comments, and imagery that are hateful, graphic, sexually-explicit, and / or offensive are violations of our policy (Rule 6) and will be removed.”

Huffman is the face of the whole fucking shitfuck piss, he can shove this "private individual" bullshit so far up his ass that it becomes a choking hazard.

Excuse me, I may have gotten a bit heated.

You were right, most of those messages have already been replaced by pictures. It was expected but it's still disappointing that redditors can't do something together.

So the guillotine didn't survive, huh?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are videos of admins blatantly removing it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's hilarious. And sad. I wouldn't be surprised if they feigned stupidity and claimed that the users were "glorifying violence" with the guillotine.

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

Yet they left it visible in their own public video recap ( and the removal)

They want censorship, they just aren't very good at it.

Love seeing the fight continues. Hoped to see some fediverse propaganda along with it. However, I'm personally not really interested in taking part in anything that makes me use that website, so it's understandable.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder if we could pull something similar off...

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

Not till we have a lot more people. There are smaller place clones, but they're not nearly as interesting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The canvas size just needs to be relative to the size of the userbase. If there's no competition for space, it's less interesting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It'd be interesting to see how that would work with federation. But conceptually implementing any kind of event that works across instances is a fascinating idea.
