It warms my heart to see so much fuck spez amidst the normal nation-state flag spam.
Thank you for the screenshot so I don’t have to give Reddit any traffic.
If you sort by New on /r/place people are asking who is Spez.
This is appalling
Sounds like that Spez person is a very popular porn star.
Aaaah, is it the one who is a doctor, an engineer, a police officer, a firefighter, a teacher, a carpenter and everything else? Is that very talented dude?
Johnny Sins would probably be a more competent CEO than Spez by wearing a suit and fucking someone on the couch.
At least he’d only be fucking one person
Yes he’s the guy that flirted with doing underage porn while moderating the jailbait sub.
Dude probably loves getting shit on in his movies.
Close. He peddled borderline CP when he was a mere mod.
Would love to see some lemmy advertising there.
well this is going about as well as I thought. “u/spez ist ein Hurensohn” made me laugh
Kreiswichs showing up in a big spot.
Classic tactic. Let em rant in a special “freedom zone” and do nothing else. I know, obvious, but still maddening. I left reddit behind forever.
They’re doing r/place again? Didn’t they just have one last year or something? I thought it was supposed to be once every five years event, much like somebody telling spez he is loved.
It looks to me that they’re basically doing it as a desperate last resort.
“even though mods hate us, everyone else loves reddit. See these recent spikes in user engagement”
It can only be accessed through their mobile app, or on the web with the new interface (old.reddit.com won’t work).
They don’t care what people are putting on the board, it’s still an increase in people engaging with the new interface and the official app.
Just like they don’t care about r/pics turning into John Oliver only. It pumps up the numbers, so they can show advertisers and investors a rosy outlook.
Bread and circuses
Cringe flagspam ruins this shit every time.
B-but my defining character trait is the country that I was born in. Yes, I am the most boring person alive, why do you ask?
The giant French flag especially is ridiculous (and I’m saying this as a French person). Also, I was expecting more fuck u/spez, but I guess the normies don’t care
Edit: wow I sound salty (I am)
It’s exactly what would happen if facebook made r/place.
I don’t think it’s cringe, more of an indication on what’s going on in reddit. Rip another “cool” social network.
It stopped being cool like 4 years ago
Ah German efficiency.
Fuck him.
I’d rather see more “fuck Reddit” on there than spez. Spez isn’t the only one to blame for their issues, he’s just been at the forefront. He’ll get his golden parachute and bounce if all this anger is directly specifically towards him. My 3 pennies
Just like Pao before him. He’s the new scapegoat to bring in unwanted changes.
That’s crazy I was just thinking a few days ago how funny it would be if they decided to do it again, and fuck u/spez got plastered all over it. Surreal that reality is a step ahead of me.
r/place from 2017 was one of the things that really pulled me into Reddit. I loved the idea and I appreciated the strong community engagement with it.
2022 was fun but disappointing to see mostly just MORE flags and big douchy streamers covering up some of the actually decent artwork with their logos.
And now again in 2023? I predict there’s no way this isn’t a dumpster fire and a big bold fuck spez will end up on the final version.
Someone else mentioned it below but we should REALLY use this opportunity to get more Lemmy exposure on there.
What subs do you think would be most on board? redditalternatives? that modcoordinator one? I will sign up as a pixel trooper, this could help spread awareness on how far Reddit sentiment has fallen.
Finding the right time for r/place to return proved to be a challenge – but hey, what better time to offer a blank canvas to our communities than when our users and mods are at their most passionate… right?
This is the most blatantly obvious “please boost our subscriber numbers” statement I’ve ever seen without directly calling for it.
Inb4 every black pixel gets a warning that they’ll be replaced by a different user. Repeat black pixel posters get perma banned without warning.
That’d probably just lead to rainbow text insulting spez instead.
The canvas already has the same junk from last year. Looks like people are getting memory holed faster than expected.
What did they expect? Lmao
They can’t have seriously thought this would work in their favor lmao
People just want to consume mindless entertainment. I’m extremely jaded over the whole thing and I’ll be very glad to be proven wrong, but I betcha regular users will participate as usual and drown out any form of protest.
It still boosts their stats up.
Saying “Fuck u/Spez” on Reddit is like protesting McDonald’s by buying BigMacs.
