‘FUCK SPEZ’: Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest::Reddit’s collaborative art project seemingly has one overarching message to Reddit’s CEO.
Over the last few hours, many of the “FUCK SPEZ” drawings have started to be taken over by other image, causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this).
Except the fact that the over writing pixels all arrive in large blocks at the same time rather than individually like real users would place them, and also that they appear with no username attached to them like user placed ones?

The point of opening it this early again was to gsrner traffic. Don’t go there at all. It would have been best if only mods and corpo shills were placing pixels.

This 100%. Engagement to show your protest is still engagement. Give Reddit your absence.

I wish I did this. I went to check if there were any signs of the protest and couldn’t help but contribute to one of the “fuck spez” signs
I then realized that place already felt kind of overdone last time they did it, this time it just feels completely meaningless

we can do one thing, pretend like a lot of the engagement is fake, being a chill for myself real quick

As much as I’ve been enjoying Lemmy and really like it as a platform, I don’t think any of this this is fine because there are just too many niche communities that are either unwilling or unable to just pick up and move, which means that in practice to the extent that I only participate here and not on Reddit I am missing out on a lot of content that I used to look forward to.

If you want to take a peek without sending traffic to them then there is a YouTube livestream of r/place.

My response to this was to delete my modded Sync and transition fully to Lemmy. Done dabbling.
