Still engagement smh
Nah it’s been confirmed that admins banned the guillotine. It’s unbelievable.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It just needs to be a giant picture of Goatse or LemonParty. Either that or a QR code to one of them.
So as a way to spite Reddit, y’all are gonna go to Reddit and contribute content? Smh…
!place@lemm.ee had a pretty good “join-lemmy.org” banner for a good while until we got wiped out by South Africa. We’re currently getting more allies to work with so we can defend each other. Join our matrix chat if you want to help out.
You sure it was SA and not admins cleaning up disguised as a flag?
Driving engagement on reddit while doing something they can and will easily censor. Solid plan.
I’m a long time redditor and I honestly still don’t know how /r/place works. Do you have to pay to place a pixel?
there is a timer. if you set a pixel, this timer starts new and its 5 minutes. after that 5 minutes, you can set a new pixel. but because other users also can do the same, its usually a huge sabotage against everyone. if you don’t have a lot of friends who help you, bringing even a tiny picture on the board is impossible. i yesterday just tried to spell “lemmy” in a region where nothing was posted. took me almost 30-50 minutes to get the “L” done… and then suddenly 3-4 users came along and killed all of my work. then i said fuck it and stopped trying.
its just too frustrating solo. so i stopped trying. i hoped when i can get the “L” and “E” started others would maybe get the idea and help, but nah. there are more people who love to sabotage others on purpose for the lulz. so meh.
Thanks for explaining this. I can finally understand how it works.
The last r/place, the one before this, my sub coordinated with at least half a dozen other subs - borders, overlaying images etc, basically collectively defending a few sub’s patch of images. At least a few hundred people collectively constantly reworking and defending from takeover, it was hectic.
subs would have pinned coordinating post, we’d cross comment in bordering image’s subs, a few users who were relaying messages back and forth to discord servers - massively coordinated effort even for small areas and extremely satisfying making it to the end.
Cool, so now we can go and make anything. What about a flag? Where are you from? /s
you’re welcome :)
No, anybody can place a pixel once every 5 minutes
It’s a giant white canvas, anyone can place a pixel once every 5 minutes. Obviously works way better when you are coordonating with 100s or 1000s of people. You can place the pixel anywhere, even if someone else put something there first - hence how the images changes or some groups come up with small animations.
We need some kind of symbol, like the Chinese used to call their president Teddy to avoid censorship

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the guillotine is a step too far. While Spez is absolutely a shitbag, it’s important to keep in mind that sensitive millionaires like him tend to misconstrue symbolism like this, and may take it more seriously than you’re intending for it to be taken.
Well it is just a symbol for us french. Nobody would behead someone nowadays, we won’t even behead our president. It is only a graphic form of saying “fuck you”.
Ok, maybe one or two strange dude would try to really use a guillotine, but fuck them as well.
Well it is just a symbol for us french.
I get that, but it has “Hang Mike Pence” energy to me. It’s a dangerous line to step over, IMO.
The former vice president ? Oh I get that, coming from those crazy MF following Trump, Q etc that would be frightening as they’ll probably do it and celebrate the act.
You’re right that violence should not be encouraged, I believe this is why Reddit is censoring the guillotine but not the fuck u/spez.
So?
So, maybe don’t contribute to something that a petty bastard like Spez could present to a court as a death threat. He’s already shown he’s not above childish antics and that he genuinely does not care about anybody in his community.
You guys are walking on thin ice with the guillotine, is all I’m saying. Don’t go catching a case over a shitty forum admin.
If so, that’s on him. Fuck u/Spez!
