That doesn't seem like a prudent idea.
"Hmm, a lot of people are incredibly unhappy with decisions we've made in relation to Reddit, we should give them a highly visible visual way to express themselves and see what happens!"
Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.

You are missing the point. People will return there to partake. r/place was immensely popular.
Most people expected a 5 year wait. So for most people this becomes a refreshing surprise. And for the duration of the event, many people on Lemmy will return to Reddit. They will partake in organising pixelart and thereby getting pulled back into Reddit communities.

You don't need foresight when you can just go into the database and rewrite history.
