Lrc and immux got removed but, nano can stay, polygon can stay, doge got 50/50'ed. Cant find shib and btc again, probably just blind. Feels like if I went over with a comb would find more that just got not recognized as crypto and got to stay.

Normies hate crypto. OP even says in the write up that the "FinalClean" team went into their editing with intent to delete crypto and NFT related art.
Someone else could edit the place canvas and remove all the flags. Or remove all the video game art. Or whatever their personal biases cause them to dislike. Doesn't mean shit... it's just their interpretation of what they wish r/place had been.

It's because Loopring and Immutable X are directly associated with Gamestop and the hedgies literally influence this narrative that crypto/NFTs are evil.
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
The Gamestop situation has been ongoing for over a year and is actively revealing criminal market activity.
So the criminals use their seemingly unlimited funds to create public dissent against anything Gamestop related.
And people fall for it because nFt BaD

Nano was removed in two places as well. People seem to be doing an unbiased final clean in the next day or two. While any version will have a 'slight bias' in comparison to the final canvas, at least it will only focus on fixing of pixels and not removing whole communities' artwork.

we did notice all the crypto coin symbols, we just removed the one with plain text.

They specifically removed the texts of the crypto but not the art so that anyone who knows what they are can recognize them. Afaik that's the policy they said when asked and it's the policy you can see them discussing (in theur discord they left their workspace channel open to view to allow a look behind the scenes so there wasn't anything to hide)
