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.

Well, they have enacted an auto-mod removal of any post with "fuck spez" in it now. So, yea, they are actively censoring posts.

But that would be the subreddit's mod team, not necessarily the Reddit admins. I'm willing to bet those posts will go through on other subreddits. (In fact - I just saw a "fuck spez" on /r/formula1.)

If I had to guess, the mod team is aggressive with removing those kinds of posts because Reddit has been ban-happy and they don't want to give Reddit a reason to remove the sub for "harassment".
