1 year agoNice to see that r/place is going about as well as I was expecting it to (surprised the “FUCK SPEZ” stuff has lasted as long as it has). Does anyone want to place any bets on how long the “FUCK SPEZ” messages will last before Reddit’s censors admins come and get rid of them? This is going to result in some well deserved bad publicity for the site if any of this ends up being censored, or ends up in the final canvas, so they’re damned if they censor any of this stuff and damned if they don’t lmao.
They censored a lot of stuff on r/place back in 2022 (I don’t remember the 2017 r/place). It seems basically inevitable that they’re going to remove all of the “FUCK SPEZ” stuff at some point (or try and put something else on the canvas where the “FUCK SPEZ” stuff is). It would be really bad publicity for the site if a picture of the canvas plastered with “FUCK [the CEO of Reddit]” ended up in the media before the site’s IPO. I’d love to be wrong though as it’ll be fucking hilarious if the final canvas picture has at least one giant “FUCK SPEZ” on it.
They might do their mass censorship operation when their most active users are asleep to limit the outrage.
