Im commenting before reading: I wonder if traffic'll go up a lot from r/place tomorrow. I dont plan to participate know some ppl even who are staying away from Reddit plan to participate in r/place to put a protest message. But what I wondered if Reddit trying to ensure the mothly activity for June look the same as other months so the dip was not so noticeable. But how much does activity usually increase when r/place happened before? (If at all)
But ik also some ppl said theyre leaving Reddit June 30th, so maybe itll look different then.
r/place Outside of april fools ?!?
Dang, they must be DESPERATE
Large communities organizing for r/place to discuss what they'll paint is probably a lot of traffic.
I'm sure that most of the mods that haven't been removed yet have some plans for r/place to really fuck with the admins
I think it'll end up with admins skipping the 5 minute timer and banning users that draw over the flags representing those admins' political opinions, just like last year. But the admins have made enemies now so the outcry will be much bigger.
I'll personally going to participate and try to get myself banned without breaking any rules and if that happens, I'll make sure to post about it. Let's hope the front page will be filled with posts of that.
What's going on with /r/place?
Wait they're doing place again? Not in April? That definitely strikes me as desperate to juice the numbers like you said
