The point of opening it this early again was to garner traffic. Don't go there at all. It would have been best if only mods and corpo shills were placing pixels.

This 100%. Engagement to show your protest is still engagement. Give Reddit your absence.

I wish I did this. I went to check if there were any signs of the protest and couldn't help but contribute to one of the "fuck spez" signs

I then realized that place already felt kind of overdone last time they did it, this time it just feels completely meaningless

Place is cool when its people just working together to draw things. What is not cool is the corpo bots instantaneously placing their logo and people fucking with the art outside of the given rules to users. That ruins it completely.

we can do one thing, pretend like a lot of the engagement is fake, being a chill for myself real quick

If you want to take a peek without sending traffic to them then there is a YouTube livestream of r/place.

My response to this was to delete my modded Sync and transition fully to Lemmy. Done dabbling.
