When asked if Reddit will remove the protesting messages [nb: "fuck /u/spez"], spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr pointed to the r/Place canvas rules. One of those rules says that “targeted hate or harassment of private individuals (including mods and admin) and protected groups are violations of our [content] policy (Rule 1) and will be removed. In addition, posts, comments, and imagery that are hateful, graphic, sexually-explicit, and / or offensive are violations of our policy (Rule 6) and will be removed.”
Huffman is the face of the whole fucking shitfuck piss, he can shove this "private individual" bullshit so far up his ass that it becomes a choking hazard.
You were right, most of those messages have already been replaced by pictures. It was expected but it's still disappointing that redditors can't do something together.
