@FixedFun I know what happened on r/place only because of Kbin and Lemmy. :D

I don’t think about r/Place at all.

Same here. I didn’t even know what it was until I saw articles about it on kbin.
I wish all were the same lol if only everyone moved we could have a great site, not that I like big crowds, but Kbin and Lemmy run on community service for a lot of stuff so the more people, the more we could see this site grow in many ways

I get the sentiment but I’ve also seen decent media coverage of it and I’m sure many folks googled what was happening as a result, especially since twitch was more formally involved this time. I know the German word for “son of a whore” surged in google searches so that’s something lol
Does it drive traffic? Yeah. Does it make Huffman seethe? He’s childish and thin skinned so probably lol

Exactly. Huffman wants people to forget, so the whole point of the protest is to remind everyone that he’s a scumbag.

Wonder if that’s actually what affected the timing? The John Oliver protests were drying up perhaps? Losing protest traffic - so they reopened r/Place now in the hopes of getting folks to come back to reddit to protest one more time, on redrdit itself, while increasing traffic and ads revenues.
