xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!
We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25

I’m not saying that, I’m saying that we should just leave Reddit alone. r/Place was a PR move to drive up engagement. Doing this is exactly what Reddit wants. Anyone who wants to move already has.
Honestly, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with what you said and I respect that. But I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree (for “major” events like r/place). :)
I never go to reddit anymore and only went to r/place. My reasoning is this: they will get their views whatever we do. Bots, streamers, and the sheer popularity of r/place in reddit guarantees that. A few thousand lemmings definitely won’t make a mark, anyway, so why not use that for our cause?
There are still a few people on the fence (on leaving reddit) and more people (certainly more than i exected) are still ignorant of the whole API debacle. It’s a honestly rare now, but we still get someone who is trying to migrate in our discord.
