/r/place going full-on French Revolution now

The admins are blatantly censoring the drawing, putting checkerboard squares or circles of random color over that part. Here are some screenshots I took only seconds apart.

I refuse to help Reddit artificially juice their active users metrics by signing back in to contribute, but this is pretty funny

These people cannot control themselves. They're protesting a company by making them money.

Don't participate. It's a literal trap. Fuck spez by using Lemmy, friends.

I love seeing this, but they hold all the cards... They will censor all of this.

I turned it into my Lock Screen.

It's also being griefed using obvious bots. Every 30 seconds or so the entire blade gets blocked out by a perfect checkerboard pattern done all at once. Or a perfect square will get whited out. Either spez is directing it or some reddit fanboy is defending his honor with a bot army

and the admins nuked it.

yeah I guess you could say place is going well

Lurker on Reddit, first comment on Lemmy. Let us hope this will become the better alternative 🙏

I still remember how much fun the 2022 r/Place was. Now it feels kinda sad to watch the current one

Just leave, ffs. It's annoying that in the end of the day people still remain in droves. The only hope is that reddit drives itself into being unusable.

Redditors on their way to do everything except stop using reddit.

I don't understand why they'd do another round of place at a time like this. Like wtf did they think would happen?

Reddit is using it as a honeypot to attract the upset users, so that they can swing the banhammer.

Still engagement.

c/places when?

Reddit is doing Place to demonstrate continued engagement despite protests. People should stay logged out. But if they’re going in, people should hit them where it hurts:

“Reddit ads support Child Porn”

“Short Reddit Stock”

“Reddit Fakes Views”

Time lapse this year is going to be hilarious.

Anyone else remember when they had the last CEO institute a ton of egregious shit and then instead of running it back, they replaced her with spez and everyone then forgot about it?

Honestly, I don't blame reddit for censoring this. This is cringey, and also just wrong. It SHOULD just be the Snoo under the blade, with spez pulling the cord.

Am I the only one who thinks place is lame? It’s just another Reddit circle jerk and everyone is falling for it hook line and sinker. Shit like this reminds me why the human population is mentally deficient and why politicians have such an easy time controlling us.

Based.

For someone that does not have a reddit account and joined lemmy from hearing about the api crap on mastodon and linux podcasts. Reddit sounds like a dumpster fire worse that twitter.

r/RedditCensorship should have a field day about this getting censored. 🤡

and its oficial the reddit moderation menace to ban the entore r/placefr if the y continue. freedom my ass.

Chef kiss, perfect.

Who the fuck ~~that~~ thought "hey, we just made millions extremely mad, let's give them r/place now so they can tell us what they really feel"? 😂

Can someone ELI5 this r/place thing? Despite my 10+ years on Reddit I have managed to not understand wtf is happening right now with this.

looks like everyone is having a good time on Reddit again

Obligatory reminder that 99% of executions during the French Revolution were of commoners, not the nobility.

Vive la révolution! ✊

Ze Germans are also taking over large part of the canvas.

WEN MURICA REVOLUTION?

Two words. Get out!

Reddit will not last.

This pleases me.

I've removed my modded Sync from my home screen and replaced it with Voyager for Lemmy until Sync for Lemmy is ready. This r/place BS is pathetic.

This is excessive. I know they're angry. I know they have a reason to be. I know they don't mean this literally. But this is not okay. Maybe it's less not-okay than what u/spez did, but it doesn't justify doing this.

Please, let us not follow the same path this far.
