Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.

Its a trap. The best way to fight reddit is to not even engage. Imagine r/place was left blank because no one was there.

Imagine r/place was left blank because no one was there.

That would be amazing but also not gonna happen

Edit: instead maybe the mods at r/pics can convince everyone to only place white pixels on the canvas

Especially since it was revealed Reddit employees had access to /r/places without a timer. They'd just fill it with random shit if it was dead (which it won't be, because streamers will get people to flock there regardless).

One massive, throbbing, pixelated John Oliver.

It's funny how individually we can do the right thing but together is a whole other beast.
