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 lol

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.

Oh goodness, could you even write a filter for zalgo? I don't think you could

innrautha,

Run the text through a normalizer that strips combining characters then run your filter.

Trebach,

There are characters that have two or three combining diacritic marks already included, so if you start with one of those, it'll make it harder to filter out.

argv_minus_one,

That's what the normalizer is for. Normalize to NFD, strip combiners, map homoglyphs to ASCII, and look for ASCII “fuck spez”.

Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon "Thin-skinned" Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.

He probably finally googled himself and found the 32 million instances of "fuck spez" that pop up.

I'm new here and I'm not entirely sure what "boost" does but whatever it does I think this needs it.

lixus98 avatar

"boost" is a mastodon term, it's used there as a "retweet" so you just basically "retweeted" the comment, this only shows up on the "Microblog" tab.

It's down to 300.000 for me. Google can't index Reddit that fast, can it?

Do you have safe search disabled?

McBinary,

Of course. After a fresh install, safe search lasts for about 1.5 searches until I realize it's on. 😆

Kichae,

Yeah, spez has shown himself to actually hold Muskrat in high regard, even as he's breaking contracts left and right and being evicted from offices. It's painfully obvious that Elon's purposefully and maliciously breaking rental agreements to get out of his leases, and it's going to lead to lawsuits.

This is whose business sense spez is publicly praising. It's clear who and what he sees as inspiration.

Kowowow,

Might be fun to start fbombing musk instead to get around the filter for now then

@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Damn, that MSNBC post stinks of corpo talk. Sure it shows how he hold musk in high regard, but I hate the way it describes the API pricing debacle and the protests.. it's getting the reasoning all wrong - as if we give a shit about AI companies?

borkcorkedforks,

I think it's worse than that. He is just an Elon simp that happened to find some amount of success and accidentally became CEO of something.

pollodiabolo,

they're getting crazier and crazier by the hour. spez is executing order 66

Realtrain,

The board must be getting tired of this by now. He's showing that he doesn't know how to handle their user base.

wafer,

I fear the board is just as deluded as he is.

lka1988,

I'm pretty sure the board is behind this and using spez as their whipping boy.

Those bunkers, if activated, will be their tombs. They'll be killed and eaten by their own security guards once the collapse of society renders their wealth meaningless.

This is probably the subreddit spam filter or AutoMod, not something Reddit is doing.

EDIT: By that, I mean - the mods likely set this up to avoid any pretext of the sub being banned for "harassment" and it's probably not something that Reddit (the corporation) did.

average650,
@average650@lemmy.world avatar

Is there a difference? Or a difference that actually matters?

EnglishMobster,
EnglishMobster avatar

Yes. The actions of the sub's moderation team are distinct from the actions of Reddit admins. AutoMod is run by moderators. And specifically that subreddit hates the admins.

I mentioned this elsewhere - but Reddit has shown they are willing to ban places for the smallest perceived slight. That subreddit is used to coordinate the protests (alongside a private Discord for mods).

My guess is that AutoMod is aggressive on that subreddit because the admins are going to be looking for an excuse to ban it and the mods don't want to give them one. So by setting an aggressive AutoMod, the mods can keep the community focused on its purpose - moderator coordination - and avoid the potential of a false ban for so-called "harassment".

average650,
@average650@lemmy.world avatar

I see what you're saying. Good point.

Skrewzem,

These posts were literally up for an entire day before they all suddenly start getting removed.

McBinary,
McBinary avatar

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

EnglishMobster, (edited )
EnglishMobster avatar

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".

Sure enough, /u/DeliciousPez is indeed suspended.

brianshatchet,

Definitely looks like they are managing their priorities well... /s

Gurfaild, (edited )

Does the filter also catch HTML entities? If it doesn't, fuck /u/spez should still be visible.

Edit: If they update their filter, maybe you can get around that with different strings that are rendered identically, for example

fu‮e‍ps/u/‌ kc‬z

f‮ kcu‬/‍u/spez

fuc​k /u/‮ze‌ps‬

fu​‍c‮ps/u​/ k‬ez
