Can someone please explain? Out of the loop and don’t want to open Reddit

An art project called r/place is active again. Basically, it’s a giant white canvas and users can change the color of one pixel every X amount of minutes.

Since we left Reddit, the community is torn between returning to post something in protest or staying away and refusing them traffic to protest. A suggestion there is to simply watch the twitch/YouTube streams of people who are there.

Some suggestions: “join-lemmy.org”, “API”, “Fuck u/spez”. There’s currently a French flag with a guillotine about to chop the head off a Snoo with u/spez as it’s blindfold. There is also clap back. Bots or the moderators are actively blocking pieces of protest with checkerboard patterns.

I hope this answers your question.
