Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time
(www.theverge.com)
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.
I find it stunning that they’ve decided to go ahead with this. Why the need for a 2023 r/Place when there was 5 years between the first and second? What the hell?
Likely an attempt to show that the platform is still able to generate traffic and engagement, plus a really awful attempt of bread and circus. It's specially bad as people will use it against Reddit Inc. and the platform itself.
