    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 think there’s too much focus on spez and not enough on Reddit. He is making some bad decisions for sure, but in the end the problem with Reddit is much greater than whoever happens to be the CEO.

            It’s easy to direct hate towards an individual, but I think it might not be particularly fruitful.

              The problem with reddit is, in my opinion, inherent to the way it’s designed. I think that similar to a monarchy, the previous system needs to be forgotten and improved upon. (Not to say that the aftermath of the French Revolution was a great improvement) Whether its spez or anyone else, you cannot make Reddit a healthy platform and go public.

      Do you think they’ll do this one day? Didn’t Canada spend the entire time trying to un-swastika their flag last time, or am I misremembering?

              Licking maple trees, trust me, not the same maple flavor. 100% needs to be concentrated in some form, theeen it’s delicious.

              I wonder if humans enjoy the taste of maple because of syrup, and if any other tree, should it produce more sugar/enough sap, would be equally yummy… other than like… coniferous… 🤮

              Hmm google says walnut, birch, box elder and sycamore, but lower sugar content so more sap meeded… I wonder what walnut syrup would taste like… brb planting a walnut.
