I get more Reddit news on Lemmy than I did on Reddit.
- Completely logical as much of it is removed on Reddit and many of us are curious about our old stomping grounds. It's the people complaining about it that are getting tiring.
  
  Yeah I'm satisfied by reading about it though Lemmy so I don't actually have to go there
  
  Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I'm both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don't want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.
  Plus I don't view this as a meme.
- I think this should be the last of it until Reddit's IPO, the administration team is just going to sit back and pretend nothing happened in the mean time.
  
  It depends on how much Reddit wants to follow in Elon Musk's steps in destroying their service.
- I tried to escape from r/place posts, but couldn't

Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.
It's like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.
- you criticize society... but you participate in society... curious
  
  Sorry if I'm misinterpreting your comment, but that's usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn't a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.
  
  I'm sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.
- meh. I'm not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they'll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.
- Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.
  
  Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who've taken to advertising it on a daily basis.
- It's mostly bots anyway.
- Personally only use Reddit read-only, with ad blocker and anti-tracking. Though I find that I don’t like read-only very much, so I’m spending less and less time on Reddit.
- yeah but lowkey how funny would it be if that was the final r/place image they've gotta solidify in history
  
  Have they actually been censoring it? I keep hearing that the fuck Spez stuff is being deleted but Idk if they're doing it or it's just getting overwritten lol
- Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?
  
  Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this beautiful piece of art🫡
- Whose spez?
  
  He’s the Reddit CEO and allegedly has sex with cats
  
  Not me.

Fucking cowards erasing it
- That's how it always ends
  
  It's beautiful because it existed for one fleeting moment in time.
  
  That's how the second one ended, not the first one. The first one actually had a final image.
- That's how it ends. Only white pixels can be placed now, and eventually they'll turn the rest white as well.
- Erasing the art that had nothing to do with the protest. Now they’re just turning the bystanders against them as well.

You should use his real name, so people outside of reddit will fuck him too.
- Steve Huffman, that the piece of shit you talking about?
  
  Yup, that's the one. Hit him professionally.

More like "botnets strong". That's what really soured me on the second /r/place, it was completely taken over by crypto fanatics and meme stock morons running bots.

why are people indulging this company after all they did?

stop using reddit

How does r/space (or whatever) actually work, anyway? Do you only get to edit X amount of pixels per day or something? I imagine they’d have to limit it in some way, or it would change too much too quickly.
- You get to place one pixel every so-and-so minutes only. To build anything of size people need to collaborate.
  
  But in reality it's just a bunch of neckbeards with 100 reddit accounts each and a script to paint a bitmap
- previously it was one pixel every five minutes, I don't know about now though, as I deleted my account

Man yall really showed spez by using his.website and giving his site traffic!

Apes together still dumb

Buy DRS repeat
