This is the best idea. Even better than “fuck spez”, tbh.
There should be a mega thread on Lemmy for brigading Place.

Let’s get organized then! @Ruud
This sounds desperate. Like, their monthly traffic stats must be bad and they recognize that r/place drove traffic and this will hide the dip in traffic.
If it wouldn’t direct traffic to Reddit I would suggest we create a team and map to make the whole place just a simple “FUCK /U/SPEZ”
I’m quite certain there are already people planning to do just that.
Yep, this discord server just dropped this template with this detailed docs
do you know how they made that template? Would be great if we coordinated a template that pointed to a lemmy thread with all the third party apps and info
Lmao I bet they are going to follow up by manipulating their own thing and pretend that the are a lot of dedicated pro Reddit users rather than just being left with the users that just accept things even if they are shit.
That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.
“Protesting” a site by using it even more. I don’t get it. If people are upset at reddit, the best way to demonstrate that is to STOP USING REDDIT.
Knowing that guy, he’ll use his elevated admin permissions to remove it like he edited other people’s comments.
Don’t say “fuck u/spez,” say “join Lemmy.” The advertising worked out great for r/fuckcars last time.
…and change “r/…” to “c/…” for existing Lemmy communities
The last r/place was already heavily monitored by moderators with the ability to place pixels without timers, indiscriminately ban anyone thought to be placing pixels in certain locations from participating, and bury discussions talking about either.
Not sure if they’d bother for this, I’d say it’s 50/50 that any attempts to protest will be blacked out and the threads about them buried and/or isolated.
Currently there is a huge “u/spez ist ein Hurensohn” on the German flag, meaning “u/spez is a son of a bitch” (but exclusively derogatory).
It’s beautiful
Next up they’ll be bringing back r/Time at the worst possible place.
We’re bringing back something many of you actually asked us for.
The fucking nerve of them lol
Apollo users have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
former Apollo users.
r/Place was insanely popular… Popular enough that people bitched for a few years before they brought it back. Now Reddit’s in the corner and they’re trying to bring r/Place back. On one hand I’m very curious how it’ll turn out this year. On the other, I won’t be doing anything to it because I really don’t care for Reddit to use the community’s art as a reason for them to generate more traffic and more profit.
Just write “f*ck reddit, come to lemmy!”
I’m not going back to Reddit.
I’m ESPECIALLY not going back to see u/chtorr and other admins cheat on r/place just because they don’t like what someone else did with their master plan for it.
I hope it’s covered in protest-themed art they can’t erase fast enough. At least that way I’ll get a good laugh out of it.
I forgot they were actively blanking out things they didn’t like. What was that cat mascot they were butthurt about?
We should have our own /c/place
With blackjack, and hookers!
And the music from Twin Peaks!
How can you have that place w/o coke?
Reject r/place. Embrace pxls space
Real OGs remember drawball. the birthplace of polandball.
I love projects like this, but I wish we could recapture the limited nature of place along with the sheer amount of engagement. I have no idea how it would work, but I’d love to see large scale limited time events like this take place with instance administrator support and integration into the fediverse somehow.
I’d call it the FediCanvas. Could be a regular event from all over the fediverse.
What about “Canverse?”
I’ve seen it done at geek conventions, to excellent effect. They generally live on a big screen, in the bar, at such events.
Though they can degenerate into ego wars, in amusing ways. One event had to ask people to limit using external systems to access the pixel wall in the bar. Someone used AWS to run animations on it. It tied up 2/3 of the entire event’s fibre backbone, still they killed it’s access. I think it was a 10Gb fibre setup. So they effectively DOSed it.
They have jumped the shark, going the way of Digg, the death spiral. Bannings and mod replacements are the start. pr0n will be banned in 3… 2… 1…
tumblr 2.0 after they get their fat stacks of cash. But I think the VC’s are now aware and spez won’t get as much money has he hopes for that dead eye POS

They blotted out the nudity and banned everyone involved from further participation. They’ll do the same again
Pretty cunty website innit tho.
They had to be selling botted ad spots too. Look at how perfect the Dr Pepper can showed up right at the end. I watched it happen irl and couldn’t believe it.
I saw some chat about just voiding it, only black pixels everywhere, I’m liking that idea
Well, another desperate move to the list
Lmao the header image on their modnews post about it appears to have a pixelated dumpster fire.
Can’t make this shit up
Right dead center. That had to be intentional.
