/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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Still engagement.

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”

c/places when?

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?

Time lapse this year is going to be hilarious.

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. 🤡

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.

Today I learned that the French Revolution was about people taking selfies with Louis and Marie while continuing to prop up the monarchy

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.

Chef kiss, perfect.

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.

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"? 😂

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

looks like everyone is having a good time on Reddit again

Vive la révolution! ✊

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

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

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.

Bloody hell. They're not holding back their anger, are they?

That's amazing

LMAO how do I even access to it? I read that you need the official app? Fuck that.

WEN MURICA REVOLUTION?

Can someone please explain to me wtf r/place is? I'm so confused.

Two words. Get out!

Reddit will not last.

Permanently Deleted

Someone is mad.

Oh, I miss place 😕

It's a cultural thing.

The site will go down in a year at max.

Well that's not at all threatening.

Wow that's a bit wow ok that's ahaha yeah that's quite something

Censorship are everywhere, especially big tech platforms

ayy

@Ertebolle Voici la grande peur!

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.

I'm not big on spez but this particular one is a little bit in poor taste to me.

Isn't this personal harassment and threats? technically this content violates lemmy coc
