    Don’t participate. It’s a literal trap. Fuck spez by using Lemmy, friends.

    I love seeing this, but they hold all the cards… They will censor all of this.

    The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart. [redacted]

      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

      That’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 that’s why reddit sucks.

    It’s also being griefed using obvious bots. Every 30 seconds or so the entire blade gets blocked out by a perfect checkerboard pattern done all at once. Or a perfect square will get whited out. Either spez is directing it or some reddit fanboy is defending his honor with a bot army

    Isn’t this personal harassment and threats? technically this content violates lemmy coc

      Even if you think the original content on reddit rises to that level, this is merely reporting on behavior taking place somewhere else; it’s not threatening/harassing spez in and of itself.

    Reddit is using it as a honeypot to attract the upset users, so that they can swing the banhammer.
