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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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

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
Who else? Seriously… Who else?
Literally anyone with 20 bots.

Random pixels? At this time of Reddit? In this part of r/place? Localized entirely on spez’s head?
I’m sure it was just by chance.
Yes!
Can I see it?
No.
Oh, we can all agree it’s not random at this point…

Wasn’t an admin caught doing something similar last time place came around?
Chtorr was their name, iirc.
Yes, that rings a bell
Yeah and when I pointed it out I copped 3 day suspension with no message
Idk how many times this has to happen before people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Wouldn’t surprise me, Reddit admins keep acting in the same bad faith ways, but now we have a viable alternative platform
Probably a bit then
If this was being done over lemmy with lemmy.word admin name in it, would it be censored?
Come on man, that’s Ruud.

I don’t know, I’m seeing a pretty large and blatant product advert on there for Boner Kebab right now.
Reddit is pro-advertisers now, so not an issue!

I didn’t know you could up/downvote on imgur. I wonder where all the downvotes came from…

Wonder what life’s like in there these days.

Sure, the silent majority of spez’s accounts
The guy must be on some serious copium rx with all things going down
