It is happening! r/place goes out with a bang

3 minutes later

... And just like that, Reddit is down site-wide. Awfully convenient.

We all want to have an immortal legacy. Any good he's ever done is going to be overshadowed.

You can build 1000 bridges and fuck one clown. You won't be known as a bridge builder but a clown fucker.

It also successfully distracted the userbase and isolated their protests from the rest of the site.

People make fun of Place but I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

Reddit admins right now

A cat beat everyone to it.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

Well the join lemmy ad made it until the end at least

The final hour: https://piped.video/watch?v=UnrnLd4tzGM

Nice and all, but pretty pointless if you stay there after.

And spez will always be a hurensohn no matter what.

Worked for me, quit Reddit and in the lemmyverse now. They did this to themselves.

Based! Hopefully everyone can abandon Reddit soon

When does place end?

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

Thanks for everybody helping us. Glad to be a a part of it. For those who don't know. Lemmy got a nice banner at the center of the map. We also took part of the Fuck Spez project.

Every time anything negative towards reddit has gone up on place, mass unattributed changes have happened. I expect the same will happen here.

All the images are so clean. Like if they were all created by well coordinated robots.

Lmao! they thought we can't create art with just white pixels

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this beautiful piece of art🫡

Lol is this why Reddit has been flaky for the past hour?

Trying to view some posts and get random “community not found” errors or page loading errors.

Best possible way to end

This is gold

fuck them for shadowbanning me, but allowing most bots to roam free.

I guess spez won't do another one

Did r/place always increase the canvas size after a certain amount of time?

Glorious.

Man they really showed Spez who is boss by contributing to all the engagement KPIs they’re going to use to position the opening valuation of the IPO. Truly the most epic prank of all!

HAHAHAHAHA

LMAO🤣

That...is impressive.

I can only imagine transitioning from the 2022 whiteout to the 2023 start, and then if r/place happens in 2024, transition from the 2023 whiteout to that.

beautiful

This is actually amazing.

This is very much a real thing. Hope spez grows a braincell tho, reddit was a fun thing to lurk in.

It's finally habbening

Waiting to see how they gonna spin it when (if) they make a post about how great r/place was this time around.

got what he deserved.

Hope spez fades from reddit like his name in this pic

I allow it

Think about it for a minute, do you really believe it's true? It's just something people say
