A note for probably incoming comments: If it is going to repeat itself here, we are forced to disallow such posts at all, to keep c/reddit at least civilized.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Wow Reddit can openly and unapologetically shit on their community and they continue to support the site. All of the "fuck spez" content is gone, and they're doing exactly what Reddit wanted in the first place, keeping it corporate and advertiser friendly. What a sad community that can't even defend themselves, this is why the state of things are getting so much worse.
There's "fuck spez" content in the middle around the 3rd party apps sign, but nothing like it was a day ago.
There's also "spez is a whore son", but I guess spez doesn't read German.
And "u/spez functie elders" in Dutch which basically means he should fuck off.
Also "Spez ist ein hurensohn" in the German flag at the top.
Kind of paralleling the real world, eh?
The guillotine got axed. Someone should do something about it.
There were plenty videos posted showing that reddit admins were using some tool that was just putting random patterns over it (they didn't even bother to make it look real, so it appeared all at once)
People who are engaging with it as a form a protest are just dumb. Reddit has full control over it so they can remove anything they don't like instantly.

this r/place is just a attempt to take just a little more traffic to the site to keep it alive
We should make our own r/place with democracy and hookers.
I already thought about something like this xd
Is there some technical difficulties in creating this in lemmy? I thought I would see alternatives by now
Its little bit difficult to integrate it into lemmy. Otherwise there are many website that is like r/place but most of them are crap
I could imagine like a post where its like a 1000x1000 canvas and everyone can color a pixel with commenting like
x:y HEXCOLOR
and it creates that pixel on the canvas and reupload it.
Yeah but people want to click the point on the canvas to interact with it. Its possible it just needs to be the authority on pixel placing to keep track of whose on cooldown and such.

Fu** spez is such a useless protest. Best way to protest is to show people there are alternatives. I wish the Germans change their message to something like join feddit.de
Hard to recode their 100,000 bots that fast.
they can do it. Never question German Efficiency 😄
We've already tried to build a join-lemmy.org banner and almost done. We made allies with some communities, but the bigger ones are too hard to reach out.
There is a Matrix coordination chat, join here to help us: https://matrix.to/#/!hiNoQZCxnHSsATzzmo:data.haus
The whole thing should just be "fuck spez" but people are so desperate to get their same designs on this like the last time.
Imo having a place so recent after the last one is super dumb. Completely kills the hype for it.
Having r/place be more than a one-time event is dumb enough already especially now that streamers are trying to capitalize off of it as well.
It's always same shit different day as long as people can't find other things that represent their country and interests other than flags and the logo of whatever they're interested in.
Not that I would want that, now after all that happened. Maybe a boring non-variant r/place is the best we can do aside of writing fuck spez on everything that lets us?
Would love to see more nudity and profane messages though since they would NEVER be able to use that to advertise Reddit.
Yeah this basically looks like it did last time.
Last time was way more detailed. It was sprawling with mass participation from so many communities that the more you zoomed in and looked, the more cool, creative and diverse stuff you'd find.
This time looks like a completely bare bones shell of the handful of communities that even thought it was worth spending time on. It's not even close to the same glorious effort that it was before.
I miss the amongus
Yeah, so they went through and "cleaned" it up, huh?
SPEZ IST EIN HURENSOHN
hurensohn = son of a bitch XD
literally it is more like "whore son", but yeah.
*whoreson
Son of a bitch is too weak and can be used admiringly
whoreson
I see. Google found me a more polite but less accurate translation.

What? Why do I see "removed" instead of whatever curse is uttered?
Lemmy.ml has a slur filter and b!tch is on there. Not only is it a slur folter but it's apparently the kind of implementation that people always use as an example of how not to do a filter. If you type something on it we will all see it as "removed". If @DarkGamer says it, you see "removed", I (kbin) see the actual word.
I found some old posts complaining about it and apparently some people trying to write St@rdew were having it come out as "S removed ew". Not sure if that one's still there but I put the symbols in just in case.
The word is censored on your Instance - Lemmy.ml

Those massive regions of untouched plain colour on the country flags are pretty telling. In previous years you'd never get that, they'd be in constant flux. The fact they can be so stable and so large suggests to me that there's a lot less activity this time around. I'd be interested to see if there's any hard data anyone has about pixels/min or anything like that.
Looks like all the ppl staying there likes licking spez shit so much
this r/place is just a attempt to take just a little more traffic to the site to keep it alive
Fighting(?) the good fight, O Canacha.
The bickering in the comments is entertaining but the amount of fuck spez and fuck Reddit has gone down significantly. Sad.
I’ve left Reddit - did Bananada make an appearance at all!
