Current state of Place 2023

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.

Can you at least make it like one image per X hours? Or post multiple images into one post only? I want to keep it updated somehow, but if not...
- Live stream on YouTube.

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.
- Also "Spez ist ein hurensohn" in the German flag at the top.
Cause they are actively removing it
- Are they though?
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.
To be fair, the guillotine was a step too far so the admins intervened rightly in my opinion.
- You make it sound like it was a death threat and not a metaphor for the death of Reddit.
- "we want change, but we're against any meaningful protest"
- I'm with you. Imagine if everyone decided to draw gore there, regardless if it had anything to do with spez, it's just kind of inappropriate and feels really childish, in my opinion.

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

this r/place is just a attempt to take just a little more traffic to the site to keep it alive

Yeah, seems like a desperate maneuver
- yeah, a little out of place

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?

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

Looks like all the ppl staying there likes licking spez shit so much

SPEZ IST EIN HURENSOHN

hurensohn = son of a bitch XD

whoreson
Son of a bitch is too weak and can be used admiringly
- I think "Bastard" would be the right level of intensity.
- whoreson
  I see. Google found me a more polite but less accurate translation.
literally it is more like "whore son", but yeah.
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
- What? Why do I see “removed” instead of whatever curse is uttered?
  Maybe it's a lemmy.ml setting? I still see my original uncensored comment on kbin.social.

I like people having fun instead of complaining which won’t work sadly. Just have fun then I’d say.

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.

Top right, a little bit left of the elephant:

human dignity shall be inviolable

The bickering in the comments is entertaining but the amount of fuck spez and fuck Reddit has gone down significantly. Sad.

Fighting(?) the good fight, O Canacha.

I’ve left Reddit - did Bananada make an appearance at all!
