The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
No, I'm sure that's a "silent majority" of users who support everything that Reddit The Company does banding together to stamp out the minority of noisy rabble-rousers. /s
Sure, the silent majority of spez's accounts
The guy must be on some serious copium rx with all things going down
That's how it has always been for all places. Admins have the power to erase anything that goes against Reddit's ToS. Depicting spez under the guillotine is against their ToS, but writing "fuck spez" isn't, which is why one gets deleted and the other remains.
It makes sense IMO. It's just like admins having the power to erase swastikas, homophobic or transphobic content, blatant product advertisements and so on. Nothing wrong with it, IMO.
They didnt depict him being decapitated, but his Snoo (i believe those are called Snoos) being decapitated. I think those are two entirely different things, especially given the french revolution theme around it.
Admins are being pussies imo. (After making a very bad decision in returning /r/place) They are of course fully within their right to, and that's why reddit sucks.
Writing "spez" on the face of the alien was probably a mistake if they didn't want to get censored.
True, but I don't think the message comes across the same without it.
I don't know, I'm seeing a pretty large and blatant product advert on there for Boner Kebab right now.
Reddit is pro-advertisers now, so not an issue!
I actually saw that happen in real time, did we confirm it was an admin action?
All the pixels came in at the same time
If you spend time watching /r/place you see that pictures mostly form in a natural, progressive way. This is the only place you see hundreds of pixels being changed uniformly all at once. Even bots would be making more gradual changes than this. It's clearly someone who has a brush tool for censoring.
Wasn't an admin caught doing something similar last time place came around?
Yeah and when I pointed it out I copped 3 day suspension with no message
Idk how many times this has to happen before people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Wouldn't surprise me, Reddit admins keep acting in the same bad faith ways, but now we have a viable alternative platform
Chtorr was their name, iirc.
Yes, that rings a bell
Random pixels? At this time of Reddit? In this part of r/place? Localized entirely on spez's head?
Yes!
Can I see it?
No.
I'm sure it was just by chance.
Oh, we can all agree it's not random at this point...
Probably a bit then

Don't participate. It's a literal trap. Fuck spez by using Lemmy, friends.
I love seeing this, but they hold all the cards... They will censor all of this.
I won’t lie to you Lemmings. Everyone who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an admin has been banned.
I still am on reddit in order to keep posting "fuck spez" and to help people to switch
I refuse to help Reddit artificially juice their active users metrics by signing back in to contribute, but this is pretty funny
Yeah, I find protesting Reddit by using Reddit to be incredibly stupid. Just leave and don't touch it at all, if their user metrics and site traffic are so low, then they're just gonna lose their advertisers, which is probably one of their main sources of income.
These people cannot control themselves. They're protesting a company by making them money.

Lurker on Reddit, first comment on Lemmy. Let us hope this will become the better alternative 🙏
It already is :-)
always has been
Welcome :) we should all expect some teething problems as lemmy is growing so rapidly. Looking good so far though
I don't understand why they'd do another round of place at a time like this. Like wtf did they think would happen?
If you read the r/place guidelines you must use the mobile app to participate. Hence everyone who is jumping in, even to mock spez, are stupidly doing exactly what reddit wants. Adopt their app. This is purely to get people to join their shit app
Just leave, ffs. It's annoying that in the end of the day people still remain in droves. The only hope is that reddit drives itself into being unusable.
Am I the only one who thinks place is lame? It’s just another Reddit circle jerk and everyone is falling for it hook line and sinker. Shit like this reminds me why the human population is mentally deficient and why politicians have such an easy time controlling us.
It's also being griefed using obvious bots. Every 30 seconds or so the entire blade gets blocked out by a perfect checkerboard pattern done all at once. Or a perfect square will get whited out. Either spez is directing it or some reddit fanboy is defending his honor with a bot army
Anyone else remember when they had the last CEO institute a ton of egregious shit and then instead of running it back, they replaced her with spez and everyone then forgot about it?
Reddit is using it as a honeypot to attract the upset users, so that they can swing the banhammer.

I turned it into my Lock Screen. 
Unfathomably based
