Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.

I’ve simply stopped generating content for them. Some of the third party apps still work without a subscription (probably rate-limited), so while I mostly browse Lemmy, I switch to Reddit when Lemmy’s feed runs out and just don’t add any comments or posts and don’t vote on anything. That way, because they get no ad revenue from me, I’m not benefitting the company in any way. I see no reason to avoid consuming content created by other people and posted online, regardless of what platform they use.
Neither am I, I do kinda wanna know the general consensus of this, cause r/place was cool when it was on April 1st after several years between, now it’s just over a year in between on a random Wednesday.
Someone posted a reddit link to the announcement earlier. The comments were some variation of “bring back.third party apps”, “API”, “fuck /u/spez”, “this is obvious pandering to drive traffic” or debates about how best to vandalize the canvas. And a lot of German people saying German things for some reason lol. The comments there are actually pretty similar to the comments in this thread, minus the Germans
