Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lo (kbin.social)

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them

the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they'll run a query for terms like "fuck spez". only to find my comment invisible, because they're already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it's active right now.

Platform wide censorships not related to general accepted terms are always alarming.

As if people won't figure out creative ways around that...

Is telling Ohanian to fuck himself still kosher? (simpering crypto-shill jackass)

@johnson_waters The decision is so unpopular that they’re censoring users, which is preferable to accommodating their users to them. Despicable!

Seems like Reddit is becoming the new twitter, but worse.

Cry more, spez.

I wonder if spoofed Unicode text is also being filtered...

Sounds like we have some new slang to spread. Don't be a Spez. You're such a fucking Spez. Someone get word to Urban Dictionary.

It is nice to see kbin engagement continues to grow, less than 10 hours for this post to reach 1000 upvotes.

What if you use his real name, Steve Huffman?

Lets change to Frank Zeps

Okay, so they're removing needless noise from the conversation. Given that people here are so quick to say that the content here is better because of people contributing valuable information, I'm surprised anyone is upset by simple moderation that's not taking up the time of the poor overworked mods.

He really is a twat, it's him messing with the database and filters, isn't it?

What about Fock spaz or Fvck Sp3z

I've found out that my account is shadowbanned on Reddit now. Every single comment I write will show up as [deleted] for others. But I've found out its only in threads where I have already said 'fuck you u/spez' or anything like that.

[–] explodingkitchen@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

TFW you're stuck in a loop, trying to decide whether Reddit's PR incompetence outweighs its technical incompetence.

For pity's sake, spez, stop digging. Also, fuck you.
