Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time

What's the over-under on how long it takes before fuck u spez or API get spelled out?

My bet is about 90 seconds.

75

The first one was beautiful. The second one was ruined by censorship. The third is pure desperation, its not even April 1st.

The whole platform became a joke though, so there's that.

That’s what I was thinking, they must be hurting to do r/place out of the blue like this

Got to get those engagement numbers back up for the future share holders. I like to think the code was kept in a little glass box that says exodus use only.

I didn't participate in the second one. What kinds of censorship happened?

An admin was caught editing pixels without cooldown to draw over several communities' art. Iirc, it was mainly to overwrite NSFW art. When people noticed, the comments that mentioned it got deleted

I remember thinking it was bizarre how angry people seemed to be about that, like it was a huge scandal. It doesn't matter, it's not important! Go do something else!

I’m pretty sure the second one was where we did the iconic “he laughed” panel from One Piece - so not a total loss IMO.
