r/place is only available on our mobile apps (iOS and Android) and new Reddit. The new r/place features we are introducing this year are only on our mobile apps and moderators can opt out of these if they want to.
This seems kind of desperate.
App analytics go brrrr
Especially considering, as far as I can tell there seems to not be any new features.
In fact, they’re limiting colour options now and the canvas is smaller.
Last year the canvas got bigger and there were more color options over time.
not sure if it did this last year but when i opened the canvas it started causing firefox to eat up a ton of ram, this is how it was after leaving the canvas open for 15 minutes
What else would you expect from the company that has its app’s video player load every single available resolution simultaneously?
Hahaha what?! Fuckin oath. That sounds like such a noob design….
“protesters”… I’m sure Spez is sadly walking to the bank to cash all of his checks from all the money he made on r/place from the “protesters.”
this image is also from your linkSurprised Pikachu!
Grotesque? Maybe I missed seeing something else, but “Fuck Spez,” isnt grotesque.
Nor can you really call using the canvas as intended “graffiti.”
the following image is from your link and I believe not from this year.
That was the first place IIRC. I am fairly sure we in the nordic countries made the viking ship on top of the Union Jack in the first place.
They are still getting publicity and engagement so it’s working for them.
Aw, I hate to admit it but I feel sad to be missing place. I liked it
Place was good once, but you’re not missing anything now. Trying to recapture that magic just feels like Reddit is out of ideas and just desperately trying to remind people of the one good thing they ever did. It’s like Al Bundy still hyping up his high school football career because the rest of his life has been downhill since then.
I said yesterday in another thread that this was going to be a shit show because of Huffman…I loved last year’s r/space. I can say I miss it, but I gave up that community for what I believe to be a better one. They can have it, we can build better communities in Fediverse
