I feel like this might be a great chance to get the general reddit audience to hear about us better. Idk how many people we will need to pull this off. But if 155,000 people currently in the threadiverse is enough to take a large chuck of the /r/place map, we should do it and get people asking, whats lemmy?
Like “JOIN LEMMY!” and have the lemmy icon written next to it.
What does everyone think?

No, as others have said, the best protest would be a blank canvas.
Us going there to do that is the same as breaking up with your girlfriend then heading over to her house and making out with a new girl. “SEE, LOOK, WE’RE SO HAPPY WITHOUT YOU, SO HAPPY. GUYS YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW”. Tacky for everyone.
I’m leaning in the direction of “don’t agitate the pit of weasels.”
This is inadvisable. Reddit has already shown itself to be an untrustworthy company and Huffman to be a dishonourable person. Do you think spez will allow the final version to have his name all over it or allow competing organizations like the fediverse to take away more of his customers thus reducing his profits?
All he have to do is push a button to get have the final version of place the way they want it. Remember what he got caught doing in the past.
It’s their game and their rules, so I think it’s best to just stay out of it. What I mean is, it could so easily be manipulated by Reddit in their favour - I can just imagine admins fixing themselves extra pixels so our areas get mysteriously vandalised. Even if not, joining in is what they want us to do.
It would be a surprise if “fuck u/spez” doesn’t spontaneously emerge.
I just took this, quite a bit of it actually lol. Also “Hurensohn” apparently means “Son of a bitch” in German according to google.
It was inevitable.
The only real surprise is the number of people still over there who are angry - just leave.
Unfortunately I’m sure spez will be happy with how things are going so far. Even the protesters are flocking to Reddit to have fun - such irony right now that right in the middle there’s a link to a subreddit where people can complain about 3rd party apps… on Reddit! Apart from that most of it is people drawing flags and stuff like usual.
Could be good, a final FU to reddit
