Users are already planning protest art. I personally wouldn’t encourage people to join because it’s more traffic for Reddit, but that’s just me.

On other news, apparently requesting a subreddit now requires a 28d old account with 100+ karma.

EDIT: it's on again, since 20min ago:


The only two recognisable things are the “fuck spez” and nationalists spamming some government flag.

EDIT 2: better view:


I think that the meaning of the sentence in German up there should be rather obvious. It’s on-topic.

      Considering the top comment on the announcement post is basically nothing more than

      Is that the pixel art thing?

      Yup.

      …how much of it will just be “fuck u/spez”?

      No idea - the ones who were pissed the most left. But hopefully quite a bit.

        I think some enterprising souls may come back just to coordinate on making /r/place an advertisement for how shitty Reddit is being, as well as increasing awareness of alternatives like lemmy. And I think that’s great.

      I suggest, make an art about Spez getting gangbanged by investors and the admins and power tripping mods getting cucked

      Since they’re banking on streamers once again competing with eachother, they’re expecting almost none.

      Although depending on if/who gets involved there might be a lot.
