'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest - Lemmy.world

‘FUCK SPEZ’: Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest::Reddit’s collaborative art project seemingly has one overarching message to Reddit’s CEO.

Over the last few hours, many of the “FUCK SPEZ” drawings have started to be taken over by other image, causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this).

Except the fact that the over writing pixels all arrive in large blocks at the same time rather than individually like real users would place them, and also that they appear with no username attached to them like user placed ones?

QR code was a mistake and does not suite that use case. Changing a few spots would have corrupted the URL whereas a “Lemmy” sign would’ve been much better. Even with corrupted pixels, it would still be distinctly recognizable.
This is not true: QR codes have built in error correction, they are designed specifically for the purpose of working when many pixels are distorted
you need to configure it to “max” tho

QR codes have error corrections up to about ~30% error tolerance when using the highest error correction level

It’s worth noting the QR code from earlier went to this site and was not lemmy related

Ah, my mistake! I misunderstood when the post said “this site” I took it to mean “this site we are on”

I’ll edit my comment

Ah I can see that. I just wrote “this site” to keep the mystery of what the QR codes to a little alive like how it’s be if you scanned it
