This makes me sick honestly. r/place is one of the nicest memories I have of Reddit and now they’re using it as a cheap tactic to bait us to come back. Really a low blow.
I'm betting it's going to be either overrun with protest content and Lemmy advertisement, or it'll be so heavily locked down and curated that it'll be an obvious shell of its former self.
I’m going with both. It will be a free for all at first with a ton of protest stuff and after a day (maybe less) they will realize “oh shit we forgot this was the internet” and then lock it down.
