You missed the best part, in the German Flag, they’ve written “u/spez ist ein Hurensohn!”
Translation: u/spez is a son of a whore/bitch (Google says bitch, commenters are saying whore.)
Welp, that’s my vocabulary lesson for the day. Screenshot:
Also, the dino in the upper right is cute.
By opening up r/place again, they’ve stolen the magic from it.
The first time it happened, it was amazing and novel.
The second time was an incredible surprise each time the board opened up again. I was involved with the r/Beach House community to put up an homage to our favorite band.
But now… It’s become repetitive. It feels like just an attention grab, like a ploy to artificially increase traffic to the site. This time, it looks no different from every other time r/place has taken… place. It’s flags everywhere, there’s so much anger surrounding it, and it’s just not fun.
r/place was special because of its spontaneity. But now it’s soulless, like every other corporate-owned internet phenomenon is.
Fuck Steve Huffman.
“Hey, we’re still cool. Remember this cool thing we did, look, we’re doing it again, aren’t we cool”. Like that annoying kid in the class who had everybody laugh with one joke 2 years ago, and now he is repeating it time and again in order to get the same laughs.
Except in this case he’s after any engagement so hateclicks are as good as loveclicks.Probably gonna get censored.

I saw a suggestion to go put a “join Lemmy” banner on there, is it happening?
Still haven’t seen a “join lemmy” but gotta love “Digg 4 Lyfe”
Edit: It actually says DGG 4 LYFE.
I’m not 100% sure but I’m willing to bet that’s for the streamer Destiny who’s community often refers to itself as “dgg” for destiny.gg.
Looks like it.
It’s basically bots vs admins now. Most pixels are places by new accounts or by entities without accounts at all.
The highlight this year is going to be that animation by the Osu! I think.
