Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.
Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.
Spez likely doesn't want an alternative that is doing well being advertised on r/place, I wouldn't be surprised if admins didn't do some sussy deleting like they have before.
It likely also won't look good that the picture is covered in "FUCK SPEZ" everywhere.
Unfortunately the admins will be able to replace any pixels they don't like.
They don't give a shit if they're getting ad money and gaining more users than they lose.
They already have tools to censor these things in a variety of ways to make it not look totally off, absolute scumbags.
