I’m trying to transition off of reddit completely and I dislike what they have done. But that being said, I thought it was quite honorable of them to not censor the ‘fuck spez’, be it comments throughout the site or on /r/Place. They even left the giant fuck spez ending in the official time lapse of /r/Place and the highest ranked post is a screen shot of the same.

They have many reasonable sounding excuses available to censor excessive use of the word ‘fuck’, and I don’t see how they benefit by leaving it up there. It’s not like censoring swear words is beyond the pale compared to other things they have done. They didn’t even need to do /r/Place, they knew full well what was going to happen but they did it anyways.

I know many people think this is some 4D chess move or a fear of the Streisand effect. They are not that clever.

I just wanted to point out that it does in fact look like they have a line that they won’t cross and they are holding to it.

Also, fuck spez.

      DELETE THIS POST 😂 Hey this isn’t twitter, but you can try 👏 adding 👏 claps 👏 between 👏 words 👏 if you think it will help.

      Is a valid point to say they haven’t done anything honorable. Maybe my post is the equivalent of saying a murderer is honorable for telling the cops where he put the bodies? I like to give credit where credit is due, but I can see your point. Anyways, I feel bad that you have been downvoted to zero, I’ll give you an upvote.

        I don’t use Twitter. Are claps a thing there? Sounds obnoxious.

        The downvoting bit is weird to me, too. I guess there’s a bug somewhere, because I don’t see them.

          It’s more of a cliche, I don’t think anyone actually does it, but it shows up in those cropped images of tweets people post on reddit. Downvotes should show right next to the upvotes (at least, on desktop). Is a nice feature to show both, so if it’s like, negative 1, you can see, Oh it’s actually negative 10 and positive 9, that is like 50% dislike ratio. Feels a lot better knowing its a split crowd.
