News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.
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
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.
Writing "spez" on the face of the alien was probably a mistake if they didn't want to get censored.
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
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?
Yeah and when I pointed it out I copped 3 day suspension with no message
Random pixels? At this time of Reddit? In this part of r/place? Localized entirely on spez's head?
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
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.
If this was being done over lemmy with lemmy.word admin name in it, would it be censored?
Come on man, that's Ruud.
