I mean, fuck that place, but this particular instance of censorship seems acceptable and even good. Some schizo dude on the interweebs could think this is God speaking to him or something. Don’t promote violence online.
I hear you, but all these rich rat bastards need to be reminded that they only have what they have because the masses allow it. I hope I don’t see it in my lifetime, but we are rapidly approaching a point where heads are going to roll.
I do believe heads need to roll at this point, but not specifically Spez. Like what he’s doing is minimal and not deserving of death or incitement of violence against him.
The same people who drew that probably use Reddit every day. If you really want to make a point don’t do shit like that, just stop using Reddit.
Look at the masses of Germans coordinated to say “fuck Spez”… What percentage of them do you think still use Reddit?
Well, they are all interacting with Reddit. I guess it depends on whether the message outweighs the increased engagement. I don’t really care about Spez as all this is a symptom of a much bigger problem.
I’m a german and made an account with a throaway email so i could help the german artworks because i really like the community around the german r/place engagement. I’m not planning on using that account after place is done so I also used a randomly generated password which i didn’t save. I just want the fun and community of last years e/place again.
I actually went back to Reddit. Even as a left-wing follower, I couldn’t take the heavy bias of the community. The echo chamber is just too loud. They are convinced communism is flawless, and whenever it becomes flawed, it is the right’s fault. I can’t deal with absolutes, I’d rather be dead than radicalized by an ideology.
For some reason Lemmy won’t let me remove my account so I just login once a day to see if it is already gone.
In the only two examples I’m somewhat familiar with (John Lennon and Ronald Reagan), when someone’s mental illness led them to attack a public figure, the trigger wasn’t anything nearly as obvious as an incitement to violence, or even criticism of the public figure. Unpredictable people are unpredictable; trying to foresee what might set them off is pointless.

Idk. It’s symbolic. It’s art.
We can’t just live our lives in fear of what some crazy person is going to do because of it.
This is what r/place was designed for: to capture the entirety of Reddit in one snapshot. And this is perfect defiance of what reddit is doing.
Taking it down is why I won’t go back to reddit ever.
This is stupid. Crazies will be crazy. They’ll take inspiration from anywhere. Kill john lennon.
No. Stop. Don’t.

Do you think Marie antoinette shouldnt have been killed?
The circumstances leading to her death were rather complicated. She’s not a good example to use for either side of the argument.
Not a fair comparison whatsoever
Do you think Spez should be decapitated? You see guys, this is why I say “do not promote violence” on the internet. There’s always that insane guy.
No i dont think he should be decapitated literally but maybe in the sense he would not be involved in Reddit anymore
