MODERATORS
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 “targeted 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.”
You were right, most of those messages have already been replaced by pictures.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.
Video proof of the admins' manipulation - removing the guillotine with splotches of pixels.
EDIT: the press already took notice of the protests in r/place.
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.
I wonder if we could pull something similar off...
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.
