Just found this for viewing place without Reddit:
This is a cooperation between France, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Germany, LGBTQ, Trans community, India, and more.
France
Costa Rica
Venezuela
Germany
LGBTQ
Trans community
IndiaThe real G7
Why is the trans community listed separately from LGBTQ? Isn’t the T literally for transgender?
Yeah it sure does. Probably just because trans people specifically have been having a shit time lately with all the assholes.
So it’s nice to call them out specifically in a positive way. That’s my assumption at least.
holy crap they really added a description for everything
Yea this is pretty cool. I can finally identify stuff I’ve seen on there before but could never figure it out.
The “Fuck Spez” is much smaller when you view the whole thing :(
They have expanded the canvas several times. As far as I remember more quickly and frequently than they did before.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they did that to achieve this very effect, way more space so protest art isn’t so prominent.
still one of the biggest pieces though
How tf does that work? That’s incredible.

I really appreciate these posts; this way I don’t need to actually go to Reddit to see what it’s looking like.
If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT… Every time “fuck spez” shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.
Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?
Every time you go there and write “fuck spez” I’m sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on
I’ll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO
This doesn’t make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that’s simply Reddit users? Can’t be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else … Great amusement lol
It only takes a few dedicated people with bots, but it does probably benefit their metrics.
Trying to convert those metrics into revenue is what started this whole thing in the first place. If they were so effective at turning any engagement to their advantage, we’d still all be engaging there via whatever third party app we were using before they got disabled.
Have you tried to actually go to r/place? You can’t even view the page on your phone unless you’re using their garbage official app. It’s definitely meant to try and increase app engagement
At this point it is big enough to gather the interest of the media whether it stays up or gets wiped, and investors watch the media like hawks.
Sadly gone now. Admins won’t let this stand. Although the time lapses are hilarious.
Uhhh no? I just checked, it’s in the middle far right, and if you’re looking at the whole things it’s one of the biggest single pieces that jumps out at you.
I’m so proud 🥲
Weird, I totally don’t see it. Am I supposed to slide the image around or something?
You can click and drag to move around, or zoom in and out with scroll wheel
Aha! My mistake then! Thanks!
All the time and energy they’re spending moderating this, could have been time better spent improving literally anything. Usability, moderation tools, mobile app.
I’m not giving them any traffic, thanks
But they are giving us traffic! (There’s a join-lemmy.org message in the middle of the canvas)
all my traffic goes into fuck spez works
Fuck spez is a meaningless message. Join-Lemmy.org however… 😎
Here’s the thing. Most people into the federated alternatives aren’t really going to the old place any more. I mean I’ll admit I’ve been taking a look at r/place every now and then. But otherwise I’m not engaging with my usual haunts there. That’s why there’s not so many people to make a big impact on the canvas for any of the federated projects.
However there are still a lot of people still active that are unhappy with spez and his activities. Which explains why that message has a lot more traction there.
Whats this new r/place everyone is talking of ?
From time to time reddit does a community project, where you have a canvas of 1000x1000 px and every user can set the color of a single pixel with a cooldown period of 5 minutes.
I believe it had the origin in a legend that some guy in the old web sold ad space on a 1000x1000 px canvas for 1$ per pixel and got rich with it.I believe it had the origin in a legend that some guy in the old web sold ad space on a 1000x1000 px canvas for 1$ per pixel and got rich with it.
Not so much a “legend” as an easily verifiable known thing that happened which is still online.
The million dollar homepage. Man that was a while ago.

Whoever decided to turn the S into a dollar sign is a fuccin artist wwwwww
oh is it already white pixel time?
It has become a competition for who has the biggest bonnet
Mexico get out of there that’s not your family.
Spez is and will always be a hurensohn.
Continuing to rebel against the site by using the hell out of the site and driving its numbers up, I see. Have fun with that.
I am curious about this IPO, because I want to see what a clownshow their cash flow statement is likely to be.
Obligatory fuck spez
I feel dumb because I stopped going on reddit a month ago so I have no idea how the dumpster fires smoldering…
Unfortunately no ad for lemmy
There is! Right in the middle! “JOIN-LEMMY.org A Better Reddit!” It’s been up for 2 days
Although I doubt many would actually join. I mean just look at the page, so many servers to choose from, most would just quit trying to understand it within 10 seconds.
It is very hard to see mind you. So I’ll help anyone else struggling.
[-29,-26],[39,-11] corner to corner
Actually quite easy to see. I mean, the “Save 3rd party apps” is bigger and will draw a lot more attention, then they look right next to it and see the lemmy message and think “hmm whats this?” and potentially join lemmy.
Ok but… Why the are people criticizing the reddit CEO on reddit and thereby USING REDDIT? There is no need to spread that he’s shit anymore at this point for everyone to see. Everyone knows by now. If people don’t approve of his ways, they need to boycott his platform. But if they keep participating on r/place, they are literally supporting him by using his platform?!
This is not a hot take, people are aware of the dissonance of using Reddit to complain about Reddit. But many folks are still upset but not upset enough to leave, or would like to leave but aren’t ready for places like Lemmy yet. It still needs work and polish before the average Joe will be comfortable here.
So in the meantime I say go for it, having fuck spez be one of the main focal points of the whole canvas is incredible and sends a message. Yea most folks have heard about it by now but might be surprised users are still upset, or never really understood what the big deal was before but maybe they look into it now. Every bit of negative sentiment on Reddit about Reddit will slowly push users away. This is more than a bit of negative sentiment.
I’d also like to add that this might be good publicity (or negative for Reddit). r/place gets mentioned in the news too.
Sabotaging the quality of reddit also hurts spez. Advertisers have been pulling out, ipo valuation is going down. If the super users make it a place people don’t want to go, they will stop going, and it will get worse. If they make life hard for the mods, some of them will say “fuck it.” And stop being mods because they will realize it’s not worth it.
It’s not just about raising awareness
So, uh, reddit added OCR with banned words but allows flags, or what’s going on?
Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.
