I don't understand why they'd do another round of place at a time like this. Like wtf did they think would happen?
Reddit is using it as a honeypot to attract the upset users, so that they can swing the banhammer.
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?
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.
I turned it into my Lock Screen. 
Unfathomably based
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.
Still engagement.
Isn't this personal harassment and threats? technically this content violates lemmy coc
Even if you think the original content on reddit rises to that level, this is merely reporting on behavior taking place somewhere else; it's not threatening/harassing spez in and of itself.
Can someone please explain to me wtf r/place is? I'm so confused.
It's a subreddit/event that they do every year (or I think it's only once a year?) where every user can place a single, colored pixel on a large digital canvas.
Your pixel can be over-written by another user, and each user can only place one pixel every 5 minutes or so (and there's a lot of bot-use, which is lame)
So different subreddits will band together to try and orchestrate a picture and protect it from being over-written by other users (or bots... if possible)
So alliances between subreddits are formed, fall apart, some backstabbing and deception... all until the event is over and the final canvas is locked-in.
It was actually a pretty cool event. You could maybe join a discord, a pattern and placement would be followed, and you'd just drop a pixel where it needed to be when you could, to help the overall picture. Or go rogue and try and etch a tiny little corner somewhere yourself
I had fun with it last year, but c'est la vie. I ain't going back there for anything. Would be cool if the different instances could somehow do something of the same nature across the fediverse one day. It was the comradery and light-hearted fun that really made it
WEN MURICA REVOLUTION?
When they piss us off enough.
I still remember how much fun the 2022 r/Place was. Now it feels kinda sad to watch the current one
Especially since it happened right after they killed apps from the third party
They did this to try and make people happy
we asked for bread and they gave us this circus
We made clown sandwiches
