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.
Is that the pixel art thing?
…how much of it will just be “fuck u/spez”?
Considering the top comment on the announcement post is basically nothing more than
“API”
I’m hoping A LOT. This will be fun to see.
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 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.
Fuck it let’s make c/place, there must be some talented programmers here. We can make a better version
So reddit becoming very desperate now, Fuck u/spez and those greedy assholes, using the internet tradition for the sake of the money.
Probably looking to increase engagement so the market is more favorable during valuation.
Just make every pixel black.
Man I wish I had the reach to actually make that happen
I’m torn about r/place revival. I’m excited to see how people embarrass reddit management, but it feels like management is allowing it cause they know it will drive up daily active users they can brag about before the stock goes public.
Probably the best protest, because it’s something moderators CAN’T fix
Quick we need something fun!
There’s a meme about angry boss throwing guy out window here.
Boss: We need ways to smooth over relations.
1: Write a non-apology apology.
2: Host r/place.
3: Don’t be a dick in the first place.
[Thrown]
Feel free to make it.
Lol I like it (though I’d include mods with users) feel free to post it.
Like this?
Something like that, I’d say “don’t be a dick to the users and mods in the first place”. If you can Photoshop, put spez’s face on the boss.
I’m having more fun with this than I should.
Looks good, make a separate post for it! Final correction it’s not “on first place”, it’s “in the first place”
Done.
What’s the over/under on how many “fuck /u/spez” there will be in the final piece?
My guess is that at least 10% of the canvas area will be “fuck u/spez”.
I remember at least one employee was caught cheating the last time.
Wasn’t it spez himself?
Desperate.
They would need jet turbine-loud hearing aids with how tone deaf they are
Reddit’s equivalent of a Pizza party.
