I really appreciate these posts; this way I don’t need to actually go to Reddit to see what it’s looking like.
The more they censor, bigger it gets

Exactly what I was thinking every time I saw one of these.

Ok but… Why the are people criticizing the reddit CEO on reddit and thereby USING REDDIT? There is no need to spread that he’s shit anymore at this point for everyone to see. Everyone knows by now. If people don’t approve of his ways, they need to boycott his platform. But if they keep participating on r/place, they are literally supporting him by using his platform?!

This is not a hot take, people are aware of the dissonance of using Reddit to complain about Reddit. But many folks are still upset but not upset enough to leave, or would like to leave but aren’t ready for places like Lemmy yet. It still needs work and polish before the average Joe will be comfortable here.
So in the meantime I say go for it, having fuck spez be one of the main focal points of the whole canvas is incredible and sends a message. Yea most folks have heard about it by now but might be surprised users are still upset, or never really understood what the big deal was before but maybe they look into it now. Every bit of negative sentiment on Reddit about Reddit will slowly push users away. This is more than a bit of negative sentiment.

Thank you, now it actually makes more sense to me!
Shippuu@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’d also like to add that this might be good publicity (or negative for Reddit). r/place gets mentioned in the news too.
Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, we need to make it closer to Reddit with things like flairs and a more intuitive browsing system
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Kiky@feddit.de 1 year ago
No. It’s pretty easy to not participate in r/place.
Ad4mWayn3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can’t talk for everyone, but for the case of rplace, I’d say propaganda.
I know of people who still use reddit as they always do, and its likely because they don’t know reddit’s latest (and terrible) corporate decisions, so using rplace to spread a message that tells people something is wrong with reddit is the first step for these people to find the right path: leaving reddit.

Roughly speaking, there are three different ways people handle when something they enjoy is changed in a way they don’t enjoy.
The first simply cut their losses and move on, abandoning the thing. Nothing wrong with that. Things change and it’s okay to move on to something else. Companies that are causing harm to their user base should suffer the consequences of their decisions. Do this too much, though, and you may find you abandon your loves too easily.
The second just accept and bear it. Arguably nothing wrong with that as long as you still enjoy it. Just be careful that apathy is not taken for permission for further change.
The third will attempt to fight back in an attempt to preserve it. These are the type who still use Reddit even though they know it’s broken. They do not abandon it because to do so is to lose it entirely. They are trying to work within the system to change the system. (“You say you don’t like society but you still participate in society. Curious.”) Nothing wrong with that either, as long as you know when the battle is lost. They obviously don’t believe it has been lost yet.

Hey, what better way to convey how people feel about Spez than to collaborate in such large numbers on his own platform to draw it out pixel for pixel…
r/place isn’t gonna last much longer either, I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the people that collaborated on the Fuck Spez messages end up ditching Reddit more or less altogether after r/place is over.
Honestly I can’t wait to see the final time lapse.

I’m not giving them any traffic, thanks
xavier666@lemm.ee 1 year ago
001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
But they are giving us traffic! (There’s a join-lemmy.org message in the middle of the canvas)
cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I helped!
chk232@lemmy.world 1 year ago
it’s under constant attack
chk232@lemmy.world 1 year ago
all my traffic goes into fuck spez works
001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Fuck spez is a meaningless message. Join-Lemmy.org however… 😎
lowleveldata@programming.dev 1 year ago
Same. Which is why I enjoy the drama remotely here at Lemmy.
Geo_bot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I like how u/spez ist ein hurensöhn was still there last time I check
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
Spez is a Whoreson? I know literally 0 German but I’m confident that’s what that says
scottywh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes… Son of a whore / son of a bitch
Geo_bot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
The translation that everyone knows which came from Google translate is spez is a son of a bitch, but I think whoreson might be more correct
Willer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The phrase “Sprich deutsch, du Hurensohn” has evolved from an insult to somewhat of an insider meme in german subreddits. It was an answer to english comments flooding german subreddits and making communication difficult.
And now we basically can call anyone a Hurensohn and it now counts as transformative art lol
cokane_88@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel dumb because I stopped going on reddit a month ago so I have no idea how the dumpster fires smoldering…
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean as the image obviously suggests, the community hasn’t forgotten all the previous actions of reddit (on command of u/spez)
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sadly gone now. Admins won’t let this stand. Although the time lapses are hilarious.
anolemmi@lemmi.social 1 year ago
Uhhh no? I just checked, it’s in the middle far right, and if you’re looking at the whole things it’s one of the biggest single pieces that jumps out at you.
I’m so proud 🥲
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Weird, I totally don’t see it. Am I supposed to slide the image around or something?

oh is it already white pixel time?
somerand0mcat@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
yeah, r/place is about to end
sociablefish@lemm.ee 1 year ago
they should change it to fuck reddit because when spez gets fired, they will think the battle is won, which will lose them the battle
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 year ago
So, uh, reddit added OCR with banned words but allows flags, or what’s going on?
another_lemming@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.
x4740N@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just use fonts that OCR can’t read
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It has become a competition for who has the biggest bonnet
fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Spez is and will always be a hurensohn.
jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 year ago
Continuing to rebel against the site by using the hell out of the site and driving its numbers up, I see. Have fun with that.
I am curious about this IPO, because I want to see what a clownshow their cash flow statement is likely to be.
Clbull@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Regardless of whether you’re Mexican, Italian, German, Croatian, , French, LGBT, Trans, Indian, a brony or whatever other flags are here, we can all agree on one thing
Fuck Spez
Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t really like all the nationalism, or the lgbt flag nestled in there among a bunch of nationalism, but they’ve got the spirit.
Deme@lemmy.world 1 year ago
On a side note, I’m pleased to see that the void demon is looking beautiful as ever.
MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I still don’t understand what r/place is /:
3valc@mujico.org 1 year ago
Mexico get out of there that’s not your family.
MrPeach4tlanta@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I agree with them! Fuck spez! He is a snivelly little turd!

holy crap they really added a description for everything
FormlessMartian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yea this is pretty cool.
jerkjaguar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The “Fuck Spez” is much smaller when you view the whole thing :(
Syndic@feddit.de 1 year ago
They have expanded the canvas several times. As far as I remember more quickly and frequently than they did before.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they did that to achieve this very effect, way more space so protest art isn’t so prominent.
PupBiru@kbin.social 1 year ago
still one of the biggest prices though

i love how no one has created a paid-not-payed bot for lemmy. (your second-to-last word)
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
You can include the moderators in that.
KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Love it, this is great, there’s even a search.
