Someone's already made a subreddit to coordinate using it for protest https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaceAPI/ (likely more than one, this is just the one I saw)
edit: discord link for coordination https://discord.gg/KeH5PzUN
I wouldn’t put it past the admins to actively try to remove protests on r/place
I'm counting on it
They censored a lot of stuff on r/place back in 2022 (I don't remember the 2017 r/place). It seems basically inevitable that they're going to remove all of the "FUCK SPEZ" stuff at some point (or try and put something else on the canvas where the "FUCK SPEZ" stuff is). It would be really bad publicity for the site if a picture of the canvas plastered with "FUCK [the CEO of Reddit]" ended up in the media before the site's IPO. I'd love to be wrong though as it'll be fucking hilarious if the final canvas picture has at least one giant "FUCK SPEZ" on it.
They might do their mass censorship operation when their most active users are asleep to limit the outrage.
