There is an empty canvas.
"Word on the street is that many of you enjoyed r/place last year and in 2017 and wanted even more time on the canvas. So, we’re bringing it back."
I wonder why you’re doing this now 🤨
"was thinking the same thing lol, how convenient"
"Same here, I was thinking fuck spez was going to be everywhere and I was correct"
lets make it happen
Fuck Spez all over r/place and in the flags people have created
Respect to the people who used pixels for that
Aye don't worry. I've used some of my own
We all are doing our part.
What about respecting our freedom of pixel???
Who is specs and what did he do?
r/theswarm is the closest I've found yet. Our goal is to consume r/place in a void of black.
I’m doing my part!  Service guarantees memes
Same here #fuckspez
"Can someone explain, what is with spez? (i Am not using reddit All that much)"
He's the Reddit CEO
Then #fuckspez
Fuck u/spez
yeah but what did he do (just asking)
CEO who took away the API so accessibility is pretty much gone
And who has been strongarming subreddits into opening back up.
u/spez is the CEO and thundercunt that's driving Reddit into the ground.
From the post they made about it:
right people acting in here like we're sticking it to them when that's exactly what they expect lol
"They're going to use this for legal reasons. We need guillitines man, not some shitty image board"
67 so far
they reallllly didn't think this through
"Considering their business wasn't profitable, it makes sense they need people to engage more"
"Yeah, this is surely something they'll be touting engagement numbers on with the IPO coming up. Not to mention a convenient way to push app downloads."
It's like robbing someone's house but feeding the dog on the way out
"Would be great if we could get the whole thing to say ""fuck spez"""
YES PLEASE
"Wish granted! 🔮 I imagine he will use the secret ""Erase"" feature."
"People have started already lol, it's great"
They are already conquering the place. The crowd is talking.
You got my pixel.
I'm doing my part!
That’s already there
Its shall grow and millions must contribute
"It is, each time I see it more f spez pops up."
join the movement
"There’s already a fuck spez on there, let’s just mega size it"
Or just entirely black
Ask the French they got bots that can do that im sure. lol
On it chief
Germans are working on it
It had tons of fuck spez and looks like bots covered them in flags. We need a fuck spez community to organize pixel placement
U got it my guy
ig because of the decreasing traffic after the blackout
Seriously doubt that much traffic has decreased tbh.
No!
[deleted]
Also there are a lot of communities closed. I usually look for stuff on google about reddit to find the results (instead of using the search bar) and it sucks now because there are many communities closed so the results don't work.
"I drastically cut down myself, mainly out of refusal to download the official app lol"
"It’s screwing over a lot of disabled people because Reddit hasn’t done much to make itself accessible… folks rely on third party just to access Reddit. So it goes farther than screwing over those third party and small companies, it’s screwing over disabled people as well. Reddits app isn’t even compatible with screen readers"
"I don't use Reddit on my phone anymore. Fuck that shitty official app, and fuck these anti-consumer changes, and fuck the admins."
"Yeah, the instant they put a time limit on the protest, it's worth became absolutely nothing. Reddit obviously wasn't going to reverse any of the decisions. The only way they might've thought about it is if all of the top subreddits were down to go dark permanently. And even then, Reddit staff coming in to put power mods back in their place would have been inevitable."
"Can't speak for everybody but I've cut down my usage probably 90%. I also slashed my subscription feed so that I have only like 4-5 subreddits in it, and only browse reddit on old reddit with adblock."
"Yeah the protest is dumb, if people cared about this shit they would have stopped using Reddit by now"
And they added a required email verification.  Guess i wont be participating.  Fuk Spez
It's super easy to create a new gmail for your reddit account.
I'm gonna have to exercise some critical thinking skills to figure out why Reddit brings back r/place weeks after the blackout
Lame AF
Because they want to draw attention from the start of Diablo 4 season 1?
Free Site traffic
"but hey, what better time to offer a blank canvas to our communities than when our users and mods are at their most passionate… right?"
So fuck spez can be saved for all eternity?
"i saw your pixel as the corner of the biggest fuck spez on place, thank you for your service"
"The subreddit I was apart of last year got purged so without any other project to help with, there is one thing I can do"
Probably the api issues
"It was leaked that this was happening back in march, just a poor coincidence."
"I wouldn't mind it, but Reddit pushes it so hard, and I have no interest in it. It's obnoxious"
"It's despicable. The sad thing is that the majority of people care more about their subreddit having its own area rather than speaking out against the admins. The full voiding or ""fuck spez"" filling of the canvas would need to get a LOT of big communities on board to make it have any meaningful impact. Otherwise you know for damn sure they're just going to highlight the positive stuff during the timelapse and summary posts/articles. Everything else can be swept under the rug."
Only black dots. Fuck Spez
"Get that traffic up with advertiser friendly wholesome  fun! I mean, as wholesome as reddit can be."
did something new happen that I havent heard about? or do we think this is still about the API stuff?
I thought the same thing as soon as the app updated this morning and I saw the icon changed.
Ok. But how do we affect the money?
"User engament is down across the board since the 3rd party app fiasco, this is a CEO panicking and trying to artificially create traffic, it's going to go badly."
Who knows.
Fuck spez
Who is spez?
CEO of Reddit
CEO of sucking balls more like
CEO of jailbaiting
Hey now. Being associated with Spez is highly insulting to us people who like sucking balls
"Fair enough, calling him that was an insult to ball suckers"
Very fair point
Donkey raping shit eater.
A bonifying bastard uncle fucker
"Woah woah woah...there's nothing wrong with sucking balls, mate."
That's an insult to proud ball suckers
The worst thing you can possibly call someone
He’s the dickhead that ruined the API
Ok sounds good. What did he do that was so bad? I'm a 54 year old mother so these tech terms won't work with me.
He made it so alternate apps for Reddit don’t work anymore.
So you can't link third-party apps?
"3rd party apps ran better than the reddit app. So instead of improving the reddit app. He priced them out by charging to much for api calls. Now api calls are what 3rd party apps do to get information from reddit to function. It was a really dick move. So now he drops this to get us happy and uhh no, we didn't forget and you can see for yourself the ""fuck spez"" all over."
Apps like Apollo and Reddit is fun don’t work anymore because of Spez.
"I can’t speak for all of the bad his decision did, but for the disabled community he has made it virtually impossible to access Reddit (particularly for folks who require things like screen readers/visually impaired/hard of hearing/etc). Reddits app doesn’t support any of those aids that allowed those disabled people to access their site so it’s effectively removing those disabled voices who relied on third party apps to even participate"
WELL FUCK SPEZ THEN!!!
Here's the broad strokes of the controversy explained in layman's terms. (I might have some details wrong.)
A popular guy looking at the pixels spent so far!
"Here is some information on the issue, and why f spez is so prolific in r/place.
https://futurism.com/the-byte/reddit-rebellion-ceo"
Blackout Place for Spez
Fuck spez
Fuck Spez
Unarchive the subreddit
Oh they know what they are doing.
"all black and then in the very center we write, ""fuck spez"""
Or the Apollo logo
whos spez?
CEO of Reddit
The latest gobshite tech CEO to prove that fabulous wealth is rarely earned.
Team Void!
You're still interacting with it and giving them exactly what they want interaction and sight engagement.
"They just want to show their investors the amount of traffic, they don’t care what’s on it. Don’t place anything at all"
"I love how one of the top archived posts is titled ""Nothing to see here"""
void it all
You know why they don't want to do that.
They let the Bots in and that Fruit shit is one of them.

Black that shit out. Fuck this place
Fuck this place
"Then fucking leave. You sound like the sort of guy who would cross a picket line, take his wages and tweet about supporting the strikers. Fucking clown."
"Probably to show there are a lot of active users. They said it themselves in the post,"
Which is exactly why the John Oliver protests are dumb.
Except it's just a handful of bots making the entire thing.
"It's not just active users, it's also to drive people to the app and new reddit. old.reddit doesn't work with place anymore."
Probably to generate more traffic to the site
Void this bullshit. We aren't generating good PR for Reddit today
Only place black. Fuck Spez we aren't making you anything pretty rn

It's a meme from someone posting about what they thought was a bug in a chess game.

"Not a very good distraction considering half the map is some variation of ""fuck spez"""
More like a destruction technique
void it all
At this rate it's looking exactly like how last years ended. there's already a French flag on the bottom left and a giant german banner cutting it in half.
"I fail to see how that’s even fun, just resuming last year’s game. /r/place needs a few years between iterations for it to feel special"
they definitely did it at the last minute because of the api controversy
"imo they were gonna do it this year anyway just because the last one brought so many people to reddit. It's a giant free advertising event, so of course they'd get greedy and wouldn't wait at least 3 years before starting again."
Yeah also it's heavily integrated with the reddit app and is one of the few things it does well. The only reason I downloaded the app previously was because of r/place and I'm sure that's similar for others. This is only a bid to get more people onto their half passed mobile app.
"Yeah, not only is it feeling desperate, it also feels way too similar a moment in time as last place."
All of the Discord servers I joined last year are kicking off again today. It’s the same people building the same art.
It's literally all the same bot networks drawing the same things. Both boring and annoying as it completely goes against the point of place
Imo coordinates should be removed
"Yeah, likely a lot of botting going on."
"Exactly. 2017 was super special for being the first one. Last year was great too because of new things to put on the board and tons of users who hadn't been on Reddit for the first one got to take part in r/place. Too much will make it boring and burn out communities who coordinate artwork, leaving the bots to dominate."
the bots woke up early
No Bots. 20.000 active germans and nearly 3000 active on discord.
20000 Germans and all you can come up with is a flag? Again?
Thats all their collective creativeness lmaoo
The German Hive mind
And bots.
Tell your 20000 to come up with something other than a giant flag
Man it is like 3pm here
not really bots more like 25000 thousand germans in a discord server.source:i am there
The middle seems to be FUCK SPEZ
Good way to stop them from using it in advertising.
let’s ruin every fucking flag
They just turned the bots back on and let them paint the same picture. Yawn.
Let's make it one giant fuck spez
Fuck spez chain
"Can't wait until we see massive blocks of ""fuck spez"" pixels vanish in seconds."
Maybe they'll wait for the very end to do that
"They'll wait until the end for sure. Can't wait for it to disappear and be replaced by some random other thing because it was ""against the rules"" or some shit."
I'm seeing massive amounts of pixels disappear from the guillotine on the French flag all at once multiple times.
They have no usernames attached to them either
Can't wait for mods to cheat and silence the media
I know. Think about how much engagement and interaction that will get going and that is just horrible for reddit and its investors..

When does the pixel war actually begin? Can’t remember when it started last year. Dec 31st?
"They'd automate a bot to do it, but probably don't have the know-how, if the site's consistent crashing and terrible behind-the-scenes decision making is anything to go by"
To commemorate the Reddit blackout I think making every pixel black is in order.
"In fact, the center is already going black! I hope everyone keeps it up"
Multiple voids are starting to spread.
"In fact, somebody has been able to paint ""fuck spez"" and now there are several of those ""fuck spez"" lol"
Oh the void will win
"Tbh, I think this wont happen due to streamers and others who are apathetic towards that subject."
I love when streamers ruin things for other people!
[deleted]
I do. I do.
This!
We must create the void brothers
I wanna paint it black!
I see a canvas and I want it painted black
No colours anymore I want them to turn black
I SEE THE GIRLS WALK BY DRESSED IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES
The void can win this year. Would be a great way to rebel against their bullshit.
The void calls
I'm making every pixel black on purpose in protest of this sites shitty leadership recently.
Fuck it. Void
VOID
"I really want to see the entire canvas be black. No flags, just black."
ONLY BLACK DOTS
fuck spez
Void the entire canvas. Anything else is just good PR for Reddit
"All black but in the very center we put two words, ""fuck spez"""
r/voidplacenow
"This is how survivors of WW1 must have felt when the ""war to end all wars"" was followed up by WW2"
Void it. Fuck Spez.
no way you're comparing this to ww1 and 2
There is 0 shot you refered to Reddit's downfall to WWI and WWII.
The germans building a german flag faster then a fucking bmw E3 on the autobahn
There's just something about those Germans and their nationalism...
Don’t forget their fastism. They are the fastest.
That had some good fashion too. They were the fa.... Oh dear
Sprich deutsch …
what a fucking good chance to say
This canvas better be nothing else by the end of it.
Place is back
i mean 25000 people in a discord server where preparing for this moment.
That's really sad.
germans have thier standarts! let them do
But their ideas are so lame.
There are about 3000 people online since 3pm
"We are efficient, know how to plan and got time on our hands, the north banner shall never be conquered for we got a plan!"
The last time you had a plan things went to shit
"This is too early and clearly saving face. 
HAIL THE VOID"
r/voidplacenow help me get a community going so we can do this!!
Will third-party apps be able to place pixels via the API now that you’re charging insane prices?
Of course not.
"I was so confused as to why I couldn't get to the canvas, then checked on incognito mode with regular Reddit and behold, they don't even want old.reddit to access it."
Lol it’s broken as fuck even on the official app. I downloaded it to help black it out and report every ad for sexuality and it kept crashing. Back to old Reddit I guess.
[deleted]
Only black dots. We aren't making you anything pretty to put on the news Spez
place isn't supposed to be a thing because Reddit lost some members... void it all
Nice distraction
Only place black. We aren't generating them any good PR this time around.
Deutschland!!!
Speak German du Hurensohn
What happened to shame
It's been clear that u/spez has no shame since he didn't step down after editing users' comments
Did he do that? I'm out of the loop lol
Oh yeah. Was years ago to be fair: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-edit-comments
That's honestly so sad
Even worse is how he made an r/tifu post to laugh it off. He is an absolute child.
This is really what I was amazed nobody was taking about. Dudes been a fucking chud the entire time this isn’t anything new
This is a bit tone deaf.

Because fuck Spez that's why.
Fuck i hope it makes it into the news i want to see the fuck spez'es all over ABC

Oh this r/place is gonna be much different than before LMAO

It's back with less colors cause making things on reddit worse seems to be the trend.
Mandatory fuck Spez everywhere.
"Reddit is dead and meaningless, all hail the void."
"Running place again only a year after last time, on a completely random day in July, takes away the entire reason it was special and fun in the first place."
Api
Not even an hour in and Germany is already 10% of the canvas
Lol why do you losers care about API? The mods on this website are neck beards who are in a massive circle jerk. You know most of the popular subreddits all have the same group of loser mods? They don’t do this shit for money they do it for the control and power they feel to supplement there extremely sad lives.
fuck u/spez
"Wow I can't wait to see country flags and the same exact logos and memes as last year. Oh wow that country exists that's so cool, never heard of France before."
woooo cool distraction
"That ""fuck Spez!"" will look great in there."
u/spez should r/place the free cost for the API
lol I love seeing people protest on reddit like it'll make a difference.
hahaha all these comments about filling it up with “fuck spez”
It had that sexiness to know it's every 4 years. This will also slowly fade away like all good things in life.
i have waited 4 no 5000 years for this

"Big designs are probably coordinated efforts planned through a discord or twitch feed, no?"
"This is very clearly a ploy to boost usage of the official app and get emails. They are probably saying email verification is being used to prevent botting or other exploits, but in reality they just want those juicy emails.

yeah i'm sitting this one out.
"Pointless the moment a select few were allowed to spam multiple pixels, making the whole thing void of sense for anyone else."
Same problems as last time. It's just a war of bot armies. It is pretty hopeless as an individual user to contribute or try to eke out a small space. Makes participating seem futile.

Guess that user count was dropping too far
Sure is cool you guys did nothing to stop brand new accounts from joining in!
How do I enter?
lol half of it just a bunch of flags. how uninspired. i guess nationalism is always the hot thing.
"This shit is so goddamn cynical. Reddit has always been a shallow corporation, but atleast with the last r/place it was fun when you were with a group of people or formed up a community together, but here it’s just a desperate imitation of it in an attempt to recapture the good press the last r/place had."

How do I do it on the mobile app?

I’m spending all my time supporting #TeamBonerKebab
This is embarassing.
Where is the canvas?
Fuck u/spez
API
Groningen flag being made on Dutch display left of windmill.
where link
Ah yes... distract us from the API changes with r/place
Wait. This is back?
Fuck spez
I hope the entire canvas is nothing but messages to u/spez :)
OK who wants to make a frikkin’ massive Apollo logo?
Id love to show my kid the Bluey and Bingo that some folks drew on here.
Fuck spez
Oh boy I hope they remake Hasan's dogs. That was a blast last year!
There is an empty canvas.
oh good the u/spez guillotine being silenced is now immortalized
That moment when you try to record a piece of history but actually capture admins/mods twisting history to fit their message.
"Please clarify, I'm new to this"
"Spez, the current CEO and co-founder of Reddit recently killed 3rd party apps by increasing the cost of operating one to an unreasonable amount. The guillotine is a French invention and was on the French flag. Admins took advantage of their ability to place infinite tiles to remove it."
I'm just going to point out the irony of complaining about reddit management on an event started to keep people on reddit
People aren’t ready to give up on Reddit so they complain to the management. That’s generally how things works in most industries.
Nah. People don't want to give up the platform because they enjoy it and that doesn't mean that you won't voice/protest/disagree with management's stupid decisions
"Usually it's the most dedicated fan base that do the most complaining, because the less dedicated fans would have just gotten tired of it and moved on."
Also most gamers don’t post online. Every Reddit “boycott” has failed miserably because they think they’re bigger than they are
"Right, same with this Reddit situation even with all the posts and visibility the ""protest"" have done, most people on Reddit just use it and don't really pay attention to the details, they just use it and move on."
"""The Silent Majority"""
Perfect Summary. Fits current State of Disney Star Wars really well.
It is just going to be more fuel for the fire when the next reddit type random content in your face generator comes along.
"Whether I like my boss or not, I’m still going to work tomorrow"
This isn't a job
You literally said the same thing as the person you replied to
"It is, after all, our platform."
Why the hell should people be forced to give up shit that they really like when management keeps fucking shit up. Why is it so strange to want these shitty ass companies to do the right thing.
If there was an alternative to Reddit I would have left but Reddit killed the forums.
Lemmy.world
I'll check it out after work. What's it like compared to here?
Oh I would too. For sure
"Oh no we're entirely ready to give up on Reddit, have been for years. This place is wet hot dogshit. No alternatives, though."
But that’s also just why people aren’t ready to give up on it. There’s nowhere new to move. Similar to people sticking around on twitter even though Elon is a bigoted turd-man.
There is somewhere to move to: https://kbin.social or https://lemmy.world
Those who moved to Lemmy say it's getting bigger and better as time passes. Big influx of users since the Spez fuckery
"Yes, big influx.  It's up to about 2.5 million users this month"
"Wait, what’s Lemmy?"
"So was it a failed attempt or is there some sort of ongoing protest? Seems status quo to me, other than a slightly annoying pinned post to some subs."
"Also tens of millions left Twitter and joined Threads man, people will actually migrate when shit gets whack"
Can’t believe someone hasn’t asked chatgpt to whip them up a site based on the old Reddit code tbh
Hosting costs are more than developer costs for a platform like reddit.
Maybe if everyone who downloads our app chips in approximately $5-10 a month to use it we could crowdfund this genius plan
Voat's code is still up on Github. Anyone with the know-how can make a Reddit/Voat clone at any time.
It’s kinda like there is more than just the code that cultivates a community
You'd have ti ask chat GPT for a few million dollars and enough knowledgeable employees and tech workers to build / buy the massive among of resources it... and advice on how to entice investors to afford all that..........................
"Tilde and Lemmy/kbin exist. There are alternatives, all Reddit has over them is age and a large userbase. You could fix that by... moving to one of those platforms. I myself split my time between here and Lemmy now and intend to fully transition as this site's content gets progressively worse."
Lemmy is thriving alternative https://join-lemmy.org/
There are alternatives: https://kbin.social and https://lemmy.world
"You do know that Spez could be removed, right? If the backlash is strong enough, the board will bring in someone else."
"The board has little reason to give a shit about what users think, unless they are leaving."
"Okay but hear this, if you leave no one cares and the wrong doings are eventually forgot as people didnt hear them in the first place. If you stay, you can warn people about what has happened."
"Oh no, a ton of people who already use Reddit regularly continue using it? Anyway..."
"What's especially curious to me is that spez seems to be the scapegoat for an entire company that is clearly rotting from the inside to allow this bullshit. It's not ""fuck spez"", it's ""fuck reddit"". You can get rid of spez but still not get third party apps back."
Because plebbitors can't commit to their own protest lmao
[deleted]
"Holy shiet has he nothing else to do? Lmao, imagine editing comments on reddit for at least an hour"
[deleted]
He's just a lazy loser.
"Every year they must find the saddest and loneliest redditor and promote him to CEO, and Steve Huffman just has a winning streak of being a complete loser"
"also, he was a co-founder"
noo he edited a comment 7 years ago on r/the_donald as a joke and apologized with a full response!!!!!!
"best thing about the ""apology"" is that it wasn't an apology but just pushing the blames to others lol"
Thank you because I had no idea what was happening and now I'm just like 🤯
"So THAT’s who Spez is, I was wondering why it was mentioned so many times…"
I don't think I have long enough left on my mortal coil to explain the whole thing so I'll try a summary.
Damn- the whole saga. Thanks!
"Im liking the ""reddit chaos arc so far"""
"Great post! One thing I think worth clarifying is that Spez didn't ""miss the point"" of the protest - he knew what it was and barely hid his contempt for the moderators and 3rd party developers he was actively harming with his decisions. It was clear he hates the guts of the Reddit community."
he knew what it was and barely hid his contempt for the moderators
"Yup he actually spoke to tech media saying, explicitly, that he hates us all. No apology whatsoever. It's totally nuts"
"Lmao, even the CEO of reddit hates redditors. Love to see it."
"Hates mods and/or 3rd party devs, or the reddit users in general?"
"The first two, but also by implication the users supporting them"
Glad he fucked over the powermods for a day thanks spez 🙏🙏
"That's the best part about this. It so casually dismisses /u/spez like he's not important. Guy also calls him ""some boss"" like he doesn't know who he is. That would drive /u/spez crazy."
Barely anyone used the third party apps tho (around 10%). The userbase didn’t really protest. Power mods and their acolytes did but generally most people didn’t give a shit
I initially didn't understand the protest myself due to the seemingly 'small' number of users affected.
Shit I didn’t notice that giant guillotine until I read your comment. I thought this was happening to the FUCK u/spez blocks. lol
You can only place a pixel every 5 min. or whatever it is. French had a guillotine with the reddit mascot and the name spez in it. All of the sudden it got deleted instantaneously.
"""Spez ist ein Hurensohn"" is possibly my favorite thing of the whole first day of r/place"
"I mean, that's not them twisting history, that's just them enforcing the rules. It's the same reason pornographic drawings have been deleted by the admins. And just like that, death threats aren't allowed either."
Reddit is a private company. They can do what they want.
Where is the guillotine I can’t see it
Bottom right on the French flag
Am I …
"My right, your left"
Make sense.
Must be Australian
maybe
why do we use his username instead of just using his name? no wonder he doesn't care
"cause it's shorter, and you can actually link it. Look: fuck u/spez"
Also no one cares about his real name
"Maybe a boycott would be better than a protest, considering the admins can just do whatever the fuck anyways"
Join Fuck Spez!
"End of the day everyone watching /r/place to place their pixel every five minutes to protest Reddit, is defeating the purpose of their protest."
I don’t get how so many redditors can’t wrap their head around that.
/r/place rules
Weird how the guillotine went away so quickly huh
What is the point of this game if asshole admins gonna cheat like that?
"Even if they cheat we are still winning, They are just exposing their own cowardice and we should make more anti-spez art, it's not pointless, we can make them shame themselves on camera"
"Imma be devils advocate for a moment: clearly the protest didn't work (it only last 2 days) and admins thought they were invincible so they open r/place and abuse their power when anything against tos comes up, redditors fight back by embarrassing the admins, however the admins are nameless so they can't be identified, this means the said admins (100's of em) can't be pinpointed, however this angered the redditors and they wrote fuck the ceo (u/spez, he go fuck himself) and the admins prob gonna end r/place early cuz of it (fuck u/spez) 
One last note, it would be a good idea to go flood r/place with a shit load of bots and cover the canvas in black"
it only last 2 days
there only being 1 random who can post to the sub
"Without the protest being en masse, it's effectively pointless. We lost before it even started as the community as a WHOLE does not have enough resolve, let alone the will or desire to evoke change. The admins were right, we caved and the protests and what not is largely over, a minor speedbump in their revenue."
If i have to search for subreddits that are protesting it's safe to say it only lasted 2 days
"I don't see any WGA people striking, but it's still going on."
"I just want to point out, the German flag has a big insult front and center since not even an hour after it launched, that they won't remove, because the Admins know, at some point they are tired of removing it, while r/placeDE rebuilds and rebuilds and rebuilds"
sprich deutsch du hurensohn
"Why would they end it early, you're giving them huge traffic to show investors and the investors won't actually look at the canvass or care."
Idfk anymore I kinda forgot
"The protest did generate massive interest in reddit alternatives. I myself am moving to the fediverse, however at the moment not many people have made accounts outside of reddit, and of those, not everyone is on the same site. Honestly, the entire thing since the beginning of the blackouts was extremely poorly coordinated, and now we need to pick up the pieces."
Nobody is leaving reddit. It's all talk lmao
They ARE leaving.  The fediverse got up to almost 2.5 million active users this month alone and passed 12million total
“We are winning” bro you’re using the site that’s a win for them
we are still winning
Winning?
we are still winning
Users are also cheating by using hordes of bots with multiple accounts that have 1 karma.
"But I'm okay with users cheating. I'm not okay with reddit admins cheating. My side can cheat, not the other side."
"I don't know, I think there might be a slight difference between using multiple accounts to put several pixels or effectively reduce the cooldown for a single pixel and using admin tools to edit hundreds of thousands of pixels at any rate and whenever."
"I don't care about the difference. I don't give two shits about it. All I'm saying is that the users can cheat, and reddit admin shouldn't. My side should always have the chance to win, and if my side doesn't win, then the other side rigged the game."
The guillotine getting removed proves the point of it tbf
They literally admitted to using scripts on certain flags and icons that automatically place pixels to “prevent targeted harassment and bigotry” on last years rplace then shortly deleting their posts. So all this proves they delete what they don’t like and have automated dots being placed on things they do
How do you place stuff on mobile
you dont. canvas is mostly broken on mobile
Really? It’s so easy to do for me
"It works on mine, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S21+ if that means anything."
I have had no problems placing tiles on my phone?
No? It works PERFECT for me on phone
"If the canvas isn’t appearing, you can switch to anonymous browsing and then back to your account and it should appear."
This is the official app they killed off 3rd party apps for.
"It was a mass bot attack. Makes me think it wasn’t the admins since the admins were just dropping pixel salad on it with no name tied to the pixels, these were all newly created bot accounts."
Bring it back!
Where and when was the guillotine
Because of a french streamer. Not admins
"The admins/mods destroyed the blade and threatened to ban everybody that was on the project, so we destroyed it
(I'm in the r/placeFr discord("
POV: You’re in a tone deaf contest and your opponent is a reddit admin
"Whoa there chief, the admins cheated hard and got a head start on this contest yesterday. Shit isn't even fair."
they cheated multiple times last year too
TThhhose ro'n bastards!! :P
lmao
POV: You are in reddit
The Bad Apple!! animation looks super cool
"It's hard to keep an image alive, they managed to fucken animate that."
"I swear Touhou fans are some of the most obsessively creative and well-coordinated madlads out there - I mean, they literally drew their own anime series because creator didn't want to make an official one, lol"
"Yeah, ZUN's really open with the series. As long as you're not a corporate entity, you're pretty much free to use stuff from the Touhou series however you wish."
The best part of Bad Apple is that the song isn’t from the post Windows characters or a boss theme but Elly’s stage theme.
Yeah this rare to see a creator give this much freedom to their community. If this was something like Pokemon then the fans would've been sued to oblivion.
based off of someones storyboard
"Touhou fans are dedicated af, whether the thing is wholesome or unhinged. I don’t think I’ve seen as many fan songs or doujins from any other series."
it is with the help of osu! majority of them is also Touhou fans
where is it?
It's to the left of osu!
"wow, thats amazing! that is some crazy dedication, is there a way i can help too? i really dont have a specific country/subreddit im helping rn (expect r/anarchychess) so i would really like to be able to help the making of the animation"
you can join https://discord.gg/apl
thx!!!
Yea but at the same time you're talking about a community that basically can't shower and not because they hate water but because they mastered the ultra instinct and now they are able to avoid every atom of water. so this whole thing is nothing
"for those downvoting, it's an inside joke from the Touhou community. They are bullet hells, and people usually joke about top players learning the bullet pattern of rain and dodging it (or a shower)"
"Still doesn't explain the downvote, fuck me I guess?"
It's possibly because some people think you're insulting them (when in actuality it's just a fun joke).
Save anarchychess we are being killed right now
"its too late nothing can save us now brother, we got absolutely annihilatef"
Thanks for pointing that out! I would miss it if you didnt!
Whats your profile pic from? I like it
"We were really behind on the throw, but so far it's really cool!"
I'm a bit biased but that really is the best part
"Not even biased here, its the only part of the entire thing i give a shit about at this point. Literally everything else is just a repeat of last year. This is something new and interesting and breaks the idea of going for a static image."
We have been working so fucking hard on it!
Yes it does- xd
I like your profile pic what’s it from?
Yes! Its dope
It's actually insane
that amazing
It’s easily the most impressive piece on the board right now. Watching it slowly evolve over the day and seeing it actually “animate” in the Timelapse is chefs kiss Perfection
i loved working on it and i know the pride and accomplishment of placing one singular pixel in that one frame
Best one on the timelapse
woah that's super cool
Coolest thing I’ve seen on Place
"You can erase the guillotine, but you can’t erase the sentiment."
i'm probably blind but where was it?
It’s on the left side. 0:23 it starts to appear. Around 0:44 it gets erased.
Inside the white line of the French flag
Would be really nice if reddit invested in a good video player instead of using their developers to create a new r/place or block 3rd party apps.
"For real, for this video you'd want highest resolution - but it's clearly not"
"It doesn't even need to be the highest resolution the player can handle. It just needs to be the size of the canvas, that is pretty small."
"I mean, the mods are clearly ok with the ""fuck spez"" parts, they just don't like the depiction his execution, which is understandable imo"

2: Who took the time to make Bad Apple!! come to life on this thing?"
OSU! and touhou are doing the Bad Apple
I love the dedication 👏
Touhou fans are something else
"They can say fuck spez all they want, spez is still getting ad dollars from them."
Not if you adblock the everloving fuck out of reddit
Not from me :)
"Every Comment, and every upvote adds Value to Reddit."
I use Relay too so no judgement; but just want to inform.
Me who patched the Reddit app with revanced: What ads?
someone really cared since the guillotine got erased quickly
Technically the guillotine violates the content policy
"Devils advocate, they cared about the guillotine because it promoted violence."
You guys should change it so that only accounts a year old with 100+ karma can place tiles. Bots. Bots are everywhere
[deleted]
in b4 the “wE oNly UsE it To MaiNtAiN oUR ARt” comments come in. Maintaining your art is part of it.
[deleted]
[deleted]
What are u talking about? The streamer had 30k viewers. No bots needed.
[deleted]
And it still looks bad lol
"A big brazilian streamer built that flag in a live so thats probably why you found some new accounts helping to build it, if we were using bots we wouldnt be having so much trouble making the diamond shape of the flag atm."
Very frustrating to the point that I don’t care to even participate anymore.
Go lol at Germany and France. Their bots are open source too so anyone can steal the code and rework it for their own bots.
That's when India just hopped onto Irelands flag lol
So it's just like the rest of the site then..
They wouldn't even consider it given the fact they are using bots
"They are not, they are straightup using commands"
"Yeah, they don't need to bot; they can place without a delay while everyone else has to wait."
It defeats the purpose of this r/Place and the last r/Place. The idea is to artificially squeeze user numbers before the IPO. Real users or not.
"Exactly, the whole point is to pump their numbers with false engagement to offset the recent decline."
Idea: you have to have gained at least 100 karma between your account creation and a month ago. That way bots cannot karma farm to qualify
"They want the bots. It increases the number of total accounts Reddit has to help their IPO. People are dumb as fuck thinking this is a distraction, it’s all to make people create more accounts, and it’s working out super well."
the bad apple animation looks so good thanks to everyone who worked hard on it <3
Where/when is it?
It begins almost immediately. Look for the black square at the top left of the purple circle that eventually becomes neighbors with the Osu! logo.
"Oh wow, that looks lovely"
agreed! :)
i don't know a damn thing about touhou but bad apple is a cultural anomaly and i am absolutely honored to help animate it
"I know right, the moment it appeared I thought ""oh hell yes it's back"""
osu! bad apple animated is coming together
I just saw it it's incredible! wow
Bad apple guys are killing it
We will do the entire thing
Godspeed. o7
Way better than drawing a leaf for Canada
I love the bad apple recreation coming along
yes! It's so cool some people did a whole animation!
I am inevitable.
We will continue
WATCHING THE BAD APPLE IS AMAZING
I am honestly surprised the anti spez stuff wasn’t blurred or something in this video
They knew it was going to happen. So long as you keep giving the platform engagement they're happy.
"On the flip side, we're stopping them from having a nice screenshot to share to their official social media"
Why would it be?
Because 1984
cause admins already tried that on the canvas
Funny how half the canvas is Fuck spez
ah... it's beautiful
Bad apple
Funny how they silenced the spez guillotine.
Germans went full blitzkrieg
"Germans are not allowed to have any normal national pride outlets, so it gets bottled up to come out all at once during things like this or the world cup."
you can say we know what we are doing lol. Honestly the dedication and comradery (i have no idea how to spell that..) in r/place is something i am proud to be a german for lol
"poor india tho, their flag got erased"
"india is low on manpower no streamers support as reddit isnt mainstream in india even no support from r/india, just few small indian subreddits with absolute 0 coordination trying their best (due to inner conflicts b/w subreddits)"
"We're too busy fighting each other, speaks volumes about our ""democracy"""
"As much as I love all the spez stuff on the board, can we just appreciate for a second people getting together and animating Bad Apple in the corner with Osu?"
Annoying was the Romanian streamer who tried to invade
Holy hell look at bad apple. Truly one of the Touhou Project moments of all time
osu! bad apple animated is coming together
i cant belive the bronies were able to survie the void
they somehow survived a fucking meteor last year im honestly not surprised but still impressed
Always.
they can’t escape “my little penis” though
"Yeah but it says “my little pennies”
Love the internet"
German flag speedrun any%
Sprich deutsch du hurensohn
Speedrun mit Deutsches Flagge alle%
Geschwindigkeitsrennen mit deutscher Flagge: jeder%
alright but… fuck u/spez
"Ngl some of the communities that organized themselves early impressed me, was not expecting the like 10 people who still remember hytales supposed to be coming out to be so organized (and survive the ducks)"
i heard the group running canada's flag had a civil war because of the dimensions of the maple leaf
I can actually see the Bad Apple animation in this. Nice!
[deleted]
"Fellow Canadians, We cannot under any circumstances let the god damn Maple Leaf on our flag bone us again."
The struggle is real
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
What is even the point of this shit? The admins can cheat and draw their own artwork without disruption. But the maple leaf on the Canada flag gets attacked by bots and trolls all day as a few people tried their hardest to complete it.
The German stuff was definitely not bots
How are people actually making pictures? I’ve been trying for hours and everyone just covers them up.
Discord communities
[deleted]
"Im not even in that server and I hopped on the German Flag creation, same with the huge French one, and the Nordics. Also the Netherlands."
The flags are so boring and take up so much space
"Man, r/touhou is trying to replicate the video clip of the song ""bad apple"". This is fucking legendary."
"what do you mean ""trying""?"
Indeed! :D
r/osugame is helping so basically unstoppable
I wonder what happened to the guillotine 🤔
No windows taskbar :(
When the canvas expands it'll happen.
i have news
germany and france ruining the fun for others yet again 😮‍💨
The German subs defend various other creations. The map would look completely different if they wouldn’t.
The Germans just fucking deleted my country's flag for a shitty logo of a stream service. Fuck this shit
"It was a specific German streamer and not the actual German place community dumbo, they’re not responsible for one person's community"
who cares?
Your mother
how does it feel when you countrys flag gets deleted a second time?
Germans be like: I am speed!!!
Can we all collectively come together and cover the canvas with “Fuck Spez”? I’m sure we can all put aside our differences for the common cause.
we do that at the end
When they take the photo of the end result it will just say FUCK SPEZ. extended canvas and everything. I am honestly okay with this movement
"I get it Canada, drawing that maple leaf is HARD."
"It isn’t we’re getting trolled, it’s now tradition. Sadly 🥲"
It's not. But since we keep getting messed with every time it has just kind of become a meme to never actually draw the maple leaf properly
I can see how the germans are going to do it again lol
No pink pixel.  This is a downgrade from last year.
Wow! (fuck spez)
What’s the point of r/place if the mods are going to remove anything they don’t like? (Fuck u/spez)
Isn’t it a little silly to make a day 1 timelapse when the day isn’t over yet?
boner kebab battle is legendary
Bad apple!! :D
"Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you all a very fuck u/spez"
"Reddit has gone to shit and they decide “let’s open place, that’ll appease the peasants”"
"The peasants: ""Look what I learned in France yesterday!!"""
DGG 4 LYFE

FUCK SPEZ
The more I see the endless lame flags the more I appreciate the black void
The Bad Apple animation gotta be the best thing ngl
[deleted]
Can we ban flags from the canvas? If it will be like last year were it expands then the current flags can stay but no more added. They are just so boring and take up so much space. Much more fun if it was filled with creative things.
Reddit admins and investors don’t care if you hate Spez or curse at him.
I hate it when people use bots to make their thing I can't even have the chance to make my own but it is also funny seeing the bots fighting each other
I can see the bad apple is really moving
Everyone else is watching the guillotine but I’m watching Bad Apple
The Bad Apple animations look actually good.
THE BAD APPLEE
Ban bots
Meanwhile: pride flag getting turned into a black square
Yeah it's taking so much heat. Are there really that many anti-gay people on Reddit?
"what did spez do, idk whats happening"
CEO of Reddit.
"Someone else summarized why spez is unpopular, and some of what's going on with the pixel madness:"
The animation there is cool :)
Ah got to love the admins/mods abusing again
no one's appreciating the bad apple video besides the osu logo 😔
Almost everyone in this comment section has pointed it out
"Oh great, seems exactly like last years…"
Im bummed about the trans / rainbow flag are being messed w so much :/
People here tried to claim it wasn’t happening but the rainbow flag (which is gone now) looked like TV static.
It’s moved to the top now (rainbow flag) but still is under attack. I’m trying to start a war with the bigger flags and hoping people will join in. As people have mentioned so much creativity has been lost due to the larger flags :(
I dunno if it’s the one you’re talking about but there’s one that says fck afd in the flag’s colors and i love that 😌
Sadly the one I was talking about has been obliterated and now turned into yet another German flag :/
Actually in the my little pony area there is now a pride flag as I’ve just checked  :)
Happens every time.
It’s just a replica of the last one lmao
"What a sad r/ place, they used to be so much fun."
The “Bad Apple !!” Animation is seriously impressive. It’s a great part of this
Still going! Come help

I LOVE THE BAD APPLE ONE
It was fun when I realized what I was helping with
This years feels dumber than ever. It’s all bots
"It was obvious that this is going to be embarrassing for Reddit, but showing the world that they are unable to make a properly functioning official app just days after effectively killing all third party apps… that’s more embarrassing than I could have imagined."
I hate that how a huge chunk of the canvas wasting  by flags.
lol so garbage it's mostly just national flags
It’s amazing how the designs are made so fast. Reddit sure is creative lol
I know no one will see this but will someone help me doing one? It doesn't have to be big but I would like to throw my hat in trying to make something (even if it doesn't last for 5 min)
"A few people wouldn't be able to do much of anything, you need a whole community"
"Come one y’all, do we have to do this every time. Pick a small region for your own and respect others enough to leave space for them. There’s no good reason to take up giant regions of the space and erase other peoples’ work. This shit makes me lose faith in humanity every fucking year."
Its not an infinite canvas yk
I see the void is trying to make a comeback
I just saw the comments on this post go from 387 to 75…. Reddit broken or something sus going on?
fuck u/spez
"Oh, Canada…"
The Canada still struggles with their leaf being attacked…
Yay I see the trans flag :3
"All these flags are so lame, losers in these nations have no creativity and have so much free time all they do is cover the canvas with their shitty flags"
fuck u/spez
This must be so embarrassing for the Reddit mods to have to post this
"So many bots. So many unexisting users. 
The intervention from admins makes me dislike reddit even more."
where can i play ?
Click the 'P' on the app or click the 'Place A Tile' button on the sidebar here.
Fuck Reddit administration
It’s poetic how no one messes with the “fuck spez” messages
Pretty sure they only redid the r/place thing because all the subreddits went on strike
Canada still cant draw a leaf 😭
People like to mess w it
We’re getting trolled and you know it 😑
imagine ruining everyone else's fun people a bunch of soy losers are crying they can't scam reddit out of money using 3rd party apps
Deutschland mal wieder ganz vorne mit dabei
Why do so many people make huge fucking flags? It’s not very creative and simple compared to what others do
the bad apple animation is sooooo smooth !
"Wow the bad apple folks are making an entire movie, props."
The Bad Apple animation is probably one of the most creative things I've seen on here ngl
Why do people still believe this shit when they have super account to put more pixels to “guide” the crowd
Happy to see the obligatory fuck u/spez
The fact that turkey went to the quebec subreddit saying they wanted peace and to make a heart between the flags and then turkey immediately betrayed them is very funny because that is exactly what happened last time r/place was open
they should rename r/place to r/fuckspez
Flags are so boring come up with something creative
fuck u/spez and his mom and his non-existent dad
Ah! seeing f u spez is oddly satisfying.
"Just to be clear, should u/spez be fucked?"
Fuck u/spez!

Haha sure would be funny if the admins didn’t interrupt
Fuck u/spez
LOL!
people keep messing up the michigun and technoblade memorials
It’s mostly bots and admins abusing stuff. It’s also why the lgbt flags are being erased :/
Fuck u/spez
FUCK u/spez
admins having to work overtime to delete the guillotine was fucking hilarious.

Fuck u/spez

You guys are so childish
I do t see the guillotine. Can someone point me in the right direction
Long live the blue corner
good job admins you now have footage of you guys removing the spez guillotine
That bad apple timelapse 😭
Turkey invaded the femboy flag! This will not be forgotten!!!!
OMORI WILL NOT SUCCUMB
Why does the map always fill up with fucking flags. No one is going “Oh shit no way! The French flag!!! Pog!”
the space is back?
How to Do that in r/place
u/savevideo because bad apple and also to save it in case admins try to delete this as well.
r/omori being invaded by checker grids because they dont know to draw a blanket is the funniest shit to me for some reason
I just love how the Touhou community is trying to recreate bad apple.
"The flags though they get soooooo tedious, no? Every single time … :-)"
Why am I not surprised the US flag is gone but all other flags are up?
The gullotine thing proves why r/place is just a stupid in the first place.
"half the board is just flags, make it have cool art please"
Touhou community literally animating bad Apple in the Timelapse is the coolest thing on here
"The touhou community is truly keeping their promise of playing bad apple on everything, like come on this is just insane"
Show us what you got
Lo de bad Apple es increíble
Can I just put grunt from madness combat. Any picture?
anyone gonna notice how some people are trying to animate bad apple? looks cool in my opinion!
SPEZ got a lot of love today 🤣
I’m sad about how the Canadian flag is turning out
the bad apple animation is actually looking really good
Fuck u/spez
THE BAD APPLE.. IM SHITTING MYSELF
cant wait to watch the canadians struggle to draw a leaf again :]
"For those wondering about the guillotine, it’s not the admins that erased it."
this is more like r/botfillthecanvas
once again canada is trying their best to create their maple leaf symbol
i love how canada's struggling to make the leaf and right beside them is r/touhou animating bad apple without any struggle except making the frames
"Keep bots away from this
I can't believe it's back so quick"
The bad apple timelapse is crazy
"What's the point of making the video widescreen if the capture wasn't? Learn to crop.
Especially with a video that has so much going on that bigger the view of it, the better."
ok but that bad apple got me quivering
My blue dot is in there somewhere.
HOLY SHIT THE BAD APPLE!
"god I love the touhou community so much, it's def the highlight of this year"
Fuck u/spez

I wonder why the guillotine just faded away isn't it weird?
i wonder why it dissapeared
India got erased
YO GUYS HERE IS THE UPDATE: The guillotine is back
"admins, you are pathetic...   so this new place is now adminbot generated and completelly worthless.... congrats , you've ruined another nice thing... be proud of yourselves"
"Can someone please help Canada make the maple leaf, because this is critical"

WHY ARE THE COMMENTS IN GERMAN
For anyone looking for that one English comment. USA #1!
SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN
Win a world war and I’ll consider it
Our flag is under attack! Wake up America!
Can we all join forces and remove that Moroccan eyesore? They can’t even be arsed to do it properly so ruin it for them. Botters suck
Lol. Could this mean that American pixels were used to create images of actual interests rather than trying to keep up a flag?

"How are accounts with no karma , no posts,no comments, able to even participate? This is a scam. Plus all created july, 20, 21th."
There is an empty canvas.
AKA: The rise of the bots and admin censoring being incredibly fucking obvious.
Barely can enjoy place this year cause of all the bots and bullshit
It was always filled with bots but it's downright silly this time.
THAT FUCKING MOROCAN HOTEL BUILDING THING WHATEVER THAT SHIT IS CALLED
Cover it up. Join forces with more people and cover that thing up.
We’re trying but their using bots that immediately cover it up
Yeah they are in with this nonsense. But now it seams we are gaining traction! Keep it up!
I aming
[removed]
It's been obvious everywhere else on this site for years to be fair
cough cough 2balkan4u
rip to a real one
"True, i guess it was only a matter of time before it outweighed the fun creative projects."
Good thing they haven’t learned German yet
"Or French, or many other languages on the board. Lots of people with their own versions :)"
The admin censoring is made even worse by their nonresponse despite how obvious it is. Shows exactly how they feel about their user base.
Admins once censored our entire huge artwork of Alice from Everlasting Summer because some respected people tried to make her naked
"NAKED?! good heavens, imagine what the advertisers would think! /s"
IPO price would drop many cents per share
"a tragedy, truly."
What? Do explain?
"There are many bot accounts being used on the canvas to draw. They're programmed to draw a specific thing, detect pixel changes e.t.c. People can set up entire networks of bots to draw whatever they want. It's like having a whole army of people dedicated to maintaining a drawing, 24 / 7, except they're not actually people. It makes it much more unfair for actual community who just want to participate, and it takes away from the authenticity of the canvas."
I wouldn't even say 'unfair' and more 'boring'. It just makes everything static and uncreative.
Yeah I'm on a last warning for fuckinSpaz

"Something about giving you an award but they are going away anyways, thank you so much for explaining that to me. Sad that reddit went this way"
Fuck Spez was constantly being covered by bots and admins.
"So none of the ""fuck spez"" was bots, right? sure... lol"
"Well, considering that the letters were not of the same height or width, and sometimes misspelled stuff, it's really unlikely that it was coordinated using bots."
A lot of them were definitely bots.
"No, I and many others have done nothing but write fuck spez, I think that aspect is a lot less bots and more regular people and people making lots of accounts.it’s why it’s so randomly formatted and poorly executed."
Just look at Morocco’s expansion
[removed]
That Bad Apple animation is probably the coolest thing on the entire canvas... love the pure devotion and dedication
its the only thing ive looked at because it is insanely cool
[removed]
"A bit right from the flag that's supposed to be Canada, top left of the Osu circle"
A bit right from the flag that's supposed to be Canada
They even ruined reimu
Sad Canada noises
Nice pfp
"no, YOU have a nice pfp!"
we have a nice pfp
"Insane how bad apple is so small, yet it is one of the best things if not the best thing on the canva"
"It really look cool from afar because the messy transitions are almost invisible to the eyes compared that if you look closer, they are definitely noticeable."
"even close up the transitions aren't that bad tbh, everyone is doing an incredible job with it"
It was a smart part on the organizers because it's such a small part of the canvas it's more likely to be left alone (and it's really fucking cool)
It's right between osu and cananda who are taking the large brunt of the attacks. Kind of the perfect spot tbh
osu! is the one making it so no one will destroy it
The irony being Canada attacked and ate their Reimu in a bot wave [you can see it at the end when Canada expands]
"I remembered 1 hour in, even before osu logo even created, I saw the black and white potrait and I instantly thought ""they gonna make Bad Apple here too now? wow"""
Wait where is it I can't find it
"Top left of the ""osu!"" logo"
Ahh I see looks cool
by the osu logo
"Just next to the osu logo, on the left"
The touhou community has a mission to play bad apple on just about everything
Meanwhile the Canada flag go expanded in an instant (most definitely by using bots) to cover the touhou character right of it. Fuck them nationalism shit.
if they were using bots there flag wouldn’t look like a used pad
Check 1:24 of the video and tell me they can organize that expansion by humam while not being able to paint the maple leaf.
Too bad bots ruin the actual fun of it
Yeppp frrr
"The timelapse is inaccurate, the Toggo logo was gone way before the second canvas had came"
"Yes and the german/technoblade attack on turkey right before the expansion did not show up, though it was pretty visible for a good time."
it did show up but later
"Also the speed is inconsistent, you can see it best by looking at bad apple which is supposed to be smooth but it speeds up towards the end"
Trust them to fuck up something so incredibly simple.
and portugal was there earlier. i was also very confused when seeing this
Yeah Germany was already fucking the US flag pretty hard when the expansion happened but in the Timelapse the US flag doesn’t even appear in its new place until after the expansion
Yep. The Jet Lag Logo in Among Us land was created many hours before the 1st expansion.
Cannot be right... Toggo was gone and became indian flag for hours as the canvas expanded.
Yh the canvas expansion was shown much earlier than what actually happened
The Bluey Reddit did their white boarder way before the expansion as well. Just totally off timing.
"The Turks are looking as bad as the Canucks and the Welsh,it's WAR."
"They’re not even getting trolled, and it still look like shit, wtf?"
"because the original plan was to just place a flag and some art but then toggo took over and manu where angry
go to any meme or news subreddit of india you will find people posting to help and joining dc"
he is saying the timing of the timelapse is wrong
"If he could read, he would be very upset at you."
get corrected lmao
“it’s correcting time”
how can someone misunderstand something so much
3 things.
"Compared to last year, it feels like nothing is happening."
looking at last year there was so much more funny shit that happened that made r/place way more entertaining. also looking at the diversity of different communities with unique artwork covering the canvas is way better than flags taking up 70% of the canvas
"The precious Sad Banana Cat got fucked over by the Mexico flag, dammit it was one of the only things I was watching over besides the Bad Apple animation. Though, it's quite cool how the white space it was taking up got replaced with cool art."
"Fr this year sucks, really feels like a blatant corporate attempt to shirk off any drama from the API stuff, most of the map is blatantly botted with flags"
"I hate the flags with a passion. I get why but they're just boring, though last years Canada flag debacle was entertianing I will admit that."
The only thing worth watching is the Bad Apple!! animation honestly
"It quite literally is an arms race for bots, notably AFIP (American Flag in Place) started to use bots solely to defend their own flag because of other bots attacking, etc"
I hope bad apple pulls through that's gonna be the highlight of this year's place for me
THEY WILL!!! osu! people are fast as hell
This time lapse has been completely screwed up. The right part was cut in much too early
"No point talking about it. Everybody watching knows this is entirely out of season, out of order and in general just a garbage attempt at increasing user numbers. Featuring all the same problems and disappointments."
God that fucking morocco art work just being poofed into existence.
"Loved the part where it went black and said ""3, 2, 1, updating..."""
Went from updating… to 3 in less than 5 seconds when i looked at it at the time
"Compared to last year's canvas, this one is boring as hell. So many more bots, so much real estate is consumed by flags. Seriously, just compare them side by side - there are still flags, but a there are also a lot more smaller designs."
do people have literally no hobbies or communities they can join to draw things? Flags are SOOOO boring
"flags are the result of communities my friend. /r/placeDE has 80k users, for example"
The same community that has a pinned post detailing how to set up a script to automatically place tiles for you?? Lol
seems like last year were less flags taking up space. also as a german i must say i hate my own community now. after they made it political this year and obviously used bots i left their discord and subreddit.  all these flags make it impossible for small communitys  to have a small place for them
"Only thing to look forward to is the Bad Apple animation project, it already looks really good."
There is an illegal site promoting illegal stuff on the canvas. On the top left just right of the Runescape clan. It is a runescape bot client seller. Is reddit gonna do anything about that?
"No, but Germans will"
Us Germans are on it!
Not really illegal lol just against game rules
Ronaldo’s piss stream appearing and disappearing is the second day’s example of admin abuse. Wonder what we’ll get for day 3.
"Day 1: the spez guillotine. Day 2: the pissining. Day 3: Bots only, humans are insta banned."
Where?
"Middle, lower-right around 1:10"
[removed]
It's literally the building of a school for coding.
[removed]
It said: updating… 3 2 1 watch this
Where is it on the Timelapse? Feel dumb I can’t find it 😅
"around 1:25 when the building in question becomes black pixels instantly. I gave some time, so you'll have to watch for a few seconds but it's obvious when you finally see it."
Thank you!! Yea it was obvious when I saw it! I appreciate your help!
[deleted]
[deleted]
I really hope bad apple ends up a success
It will success it's made by osu! no one can stop it
Good job showcasing your admin abuse and the ignorance towards the bots!
A lot of small intricate work got destroyed by flags
"why represent a community like sport, favorite game etc and draw something cool when you can be the most boring person on the planet and create a giant flag."
"There's so many flags, and multiples of each *cough* Germany and France *cough* that the Discord I'm in for last year's r/place can't find a good area to put our work this year without having to go over a flag or something. We were gonna wait for the canvas expansion, and we have everything planned out, but a spot to finally commence, but the flags are hard to work around. Especially with the more obvious usage of bots and admins fucking around."
One that felt personal for me was the canada flag taking Reimu away from the Touhou fans
Love these timelapses!
"That’s not Canada anymore, they switched locations and there’s an independent bot army putting up the Canadian flag."
Both are fucked
I think you mean cannabis 🤣
Canada is getting very close to a maple leaf
The whole thing is dogshit bots. This sucks.
Bad apple hasn't been botted
Admins when they see a small piss stream 🤬🤬😡
"Look at all those fuck spez's getting taken over by fucking flags, sad"
"Youd think theyd use this opportunity to run another protest, like team up with other groups to build a giant 1000x1000 fuck spez. Or have a coalition of subs that each make a prominent fuck spez, this way there'd be too many for admins to cover up."
"What has the osu community done to this man, every community has their right to do something on the canvas"
"Exactly, every community has their right, which actually they dont because the giant fucking flags eating their stuff."
"You can re-read big man's message again, and see the issue, hold on lemme quote it for you"
"comparing the flags to Osu is really dumb, osu is an actual unique community thing and not a boring fucking flag and its way way smaller"
"You're being harsh dude their boring ass flag NEEDS more space, how could they settle for it not stretching across the entire canvas?"
How do you mess up a timelapse so badly?
The time lapse is really inacurrate
Did an admin make this? Like an official Reddit employee?
And imagine fucking up the timing too
Has America learned nothing from the stars mistake from last year.
we've been fighting off peru germany and some random streamers all day today so the stars are gonna be a bit sloppy till we get shit together
I love how america just did a D-Day on the Spez guys lol
honestly the amount of times we’ve moved and placed our flag up is kinda fitting
They had oil.
France taking up too much damn space as per usual
fuck u/spez
This timeline is wrong right? Just doesnt look right
Yeah it's wrong. The right Side appeared much later
two enormous french flags... Really?
And a third one is being made with the newest expansion
"This year r/place suck ass since 99% of the community is too small to compete with the others, the whole canvas is taken by a bunch of flag and the bot situation is still bad as usual.  The only cool part are the Bad Apple animation"
So sad that you can literally see the moment the Bots activated. Because suddenly flags took up so much of the canvas in an instant.
Anyone saw how the morrocco flag and building appeared instantly like it was pasted in
"It grew right in front of my eyes, like a time lapse bit actually in real time."
morroco clearly botting
Everyone is bitching about Morocco but the Swiss flag is also nothing but bots.
"Fuck all flags, especially France and Germany, too much space taken by them. Place is supposed to be about the internet, not a culture war that has nothing to do with internet. I'll die on that hill"
Bad apple my favorite
Does Morocco have a grudge against Argentina?
It’s amazing how obvious it is with fuck spez being covered… wow…. Would never think I’d miss the older r/place
Needs more fuck spez please. It is required
Marroco sucks #banbots
"Very very inaccurate timelapse, we portugal expanded way before the second canvas, we spent all night long protecting our new grown flag so its impossible that we expanded after the second canvas came"
Do you see the small community of jojo fans changing Germany’s ViO water bottle to DIO?
"From the ashes, our flag arose"
Joy boy has returned
"The marroco discord doesn't have anything to do with that building, it's all that singular school (or whatever they are)"
"“NEVER FORGET WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM YOU!” Said the Reddit “protesters” who are now using the official Reddit app to participate in r/place, 3 weeks after the API changes"
we're just using the adblocked website.
The pissing Ronaldo is glorious!
Love seeing 75% of the art being fucking flags
Viva el gato inmortal
The first thing people do when a new part of the canvas shows up:
the trans flag stands strong 🫡
The morrocan bot art and every one who uses bots are dishonorable as fuck
wow. watching the fuck spez text get wiped out in time-lapse like this is even more pathetic. fuck u/spez
Wtf is going on with those buildings??
going to do anything about the bots?
Fuck spez
Touhou users still doing great work! Also that tic tac toe game lol
It's being lead by osu!
"Not really, they are mostly helping."
"Bruh, https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/154mxcm/rplace\_is\_happening\_again\_join\_discordggapl\_to/"
Fuck u/spez
This is such a shitty place. It’s just full of bots and admin abusw
Must protect /r/bluey at all costs!
"Hmm, weird how the guillotine disappeared, hmm"
Bad apple is just playing in my head
That bad apple animation is still the best one in the canvas for me
Diese Kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
bring back the guillotine that you removed
"i’m kinda sad the massive chunk of “fuck spez” spammed was taken over, should’ve been like 90% of the board tbh"
Why isn’t there a karma limit people are using 10 accounts at a time just to cover people up
come on my friend is using alts solely to protect a community we’re in
It’s because r/scotland is being covered up by a green haired girl we have no clue who they are they’re all alt accounts
Good on you for protecting a community but I’m protecting my own heritage here
Canada down there just struggling to live
We need Dio from JOJO  on this stat
The left side is like 2.5 times slower than intendet for the first 52 seconds and then around 2 times faster than intendet.
How on earth do you fuck up a time-lapse this badly.
Can’t say I’m surprised the French flag is trying to conquer and colonize the entire canvas….
I want to kiss every one who did the bad apple one
I'm surprised Bronies still exists largely.
FUCK SPEZ
How did that Moroccan drawing appear suddenly
Fuck u/spez
Togo was removed much earlier
These Canvas dont fit together. The „toggo“ Symbol was Long gone before the 2nd canvas appeared
Canadian pls stop killing reimu
They aren’t linked to the same time when the new sides expanded the old side would already have been changed 12h ago from that point
They're still trying to destroy the LGBRQA+ flag. We can barely keep up!
Hey where is the guillotine at? I wanna help that one out.
"Yo, those bots are having great fun! But when the real community will be able to take part in this event? Ah, wait, we won't, because the bots are giving you numbers which you need, so you won't do anything about that."
Hi
Fuck denmark
Is someone gonna remove the bots?
Poland got eradicated at the end xD
jesus christ the techno memorial was gone in like a second because of turkey
I mean lets be honest we are all here just to watch Bad Apple animation
"I love how the building goes black for a few seconds and say “updating 3…2…1…ok” bots are so obvious, but admins rather demolish beautiful guillotines art and piss"
And also fuck spez
Fuck u/spez
Bad apple animation going great
"To the assholes botting the pride flags: Please go fuck yourself and go back to being the sad, pathetic human being you were before you decided to start seeking attention."
To much France
Something is not correct in the timelapse
Bots ruin the fun.
People are amazing I could never do any of that shit in a million years.
I propose 3 pixels at a time.
"Bad apple being on there is soo cool
But poor Canada…. They are once again being targeted by bots and trolls when we are literally trying to do what every other county is doing…. But fsr we are the only ones constantly being bombarded with attacks….
Like… why not make the American flag one giant trans flag"
would be so funny if the american flag were replaced with the transflag xD
What even is the point of this if bots are allowed? I remember the French people last time swore they weren’t botting but when the pixels turned to white the French flag disappeared instantly because of their bots.
It disappeared instantly because of their haters bots*

Woah
How do you even do this? I’m on mobile
LET'S GO IRELAND 🇮🇪 WE BROUGHT IT BACK
Como juego en el rediit
The right side is not in synch. The second Technoblade image appeared to the top right at the same time as the first one dissappeared from the Turkish flag on bottom left.
Get rid of all the bots idiots
The guillotine lives on!
they fr played tic tac toe up there
Who was playing the tic tac toe game?
Uk shall not fall 🇬🇧💪🏻
I like how it’s sped up to the actual speed of Bad Apple at some point. Best decision Reddit has made in…. A few years.
Ban the morrocan subreddit
Germany & france is dominated
switzerland 🥷
"Never really thought I needed this, but this should also come under r/satisfyingasfuck"
Are we gonna ignore the symbol on Ukraine's flag?
Bro dont type anything if u don't know what are u talking about
I want to see just a Timelapse of the bad apple area tbh.
DUDE THE FUCKING ANIMATION UNDER CANADA! THATS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF IMPRESSIVE! HOLY SHIT!
"Isn't it just about time to expand the canvas again? Not the little 50% more this time, OK?"
So focus on the black and white area between OSU and Canada/Banana. It is an actual cartoon
Fuck u/spez
Fuck Steve Huffman
The French frenching again
"There seems to be something wrong with the timescale. I first realized this when I remembered that Portugal's expansion happened before the canvas expansion, but here it happens after."
Justice for the guillotine
Joyboy beat the void
what is the source for the audio. that was some decent head bobbing house music
french is the best community
"Fuck Steve Huffman, fuck u/spez"
"The countdown and the blue death screen was neath, also the tick tack toe"
This TikTakToe game is Legendary
France always has the best flag one in my opinion
Fuck Steve Hoffman

At least we have Vietnam :>
BRING BACK THE UK FLAG WITH THE CORGI
Anyone else finds it funny that the French steps aside to allow the horizontal German Flag to be complete?
Canada struggling once again with their fuckin leaf
u/savevideo
Reddit is just the best.
God damn it Canada
"I think the right half appeared way earlier in this timelapse than it actually did.
It only came after Technoblade took over the Turkish flag and was only about becoming retaken by Turkey. According to this it happened way before which doesn't make sense"
morroco bots are the main deal look at 1:27. so obvious
What is OSU?
"Time lapse is a bit scuffed, techno taking over turkey happened before the canvas expansion I'm pretty sure (I was active in both turkey place and technoplace servers aswell as on the subreddit when that shit show went down)"
"god, turkey has managed to destroy 2 memorials, the technoblade one and the michigun one. such a shame how no one is talking about it."
DGG 4 LYFE
French bill cipher
bro played ttt on the canvas
God
This is reddit history in the making and its beautiful
The morrocco building saying updating while black before the whole country being filled in and being copied and pasted 4 times is ducking hilarious
Wish I could zoom in on this video…
"so obvious who’s botting, germans need to be banned or something this is absurd"
"Marruecos y sus trampas, este ha sido el peor rplace de todos y más por la cantidad de bots y manipulación patriota opacando a muchas comunidades."
Morocco came out of nowhere
I’m so glad that Reddit does this for its users.
Not accurate timelapse. Togo logo was erased way before canvas expansion
u/savevideo
We talking about Canada not being to draw their maple leaf but what about india? They literally cannot draw their ashoka Chakra. What happened?? They did it correctly last year.
"Timelapse seems to be inaccurate, the canvas expansion happened much later than it did in the timelapse. It should have been at 1:25 or so, in timelapse it is at 0:57"
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
2 Indian flags 🥹✨
The marrocco biilding litteraly spawned
Watch the green countown top right (papaplatte)
The ads are fucking stupid
Lol
How is there no skibidi toilet artwork yet in r/place?
Die deutschen sind immer ein Schritt vorausgesetzt
Hey that’s my pixel
Turkey as usual :D
The red box with black and white is the coolest little video
"everyone is complaining about the admins and bots, but Im enjoying my blue pixel at 300 -380"
So many bots for Turkish flag lmfao
Couldnt they stop all accounts with 3 or more numbers from getting in? Most bots are with many numbers
Ronaldo’s piss going back and forth😭😭😭
El Gato Inmortal!
bots fight
Fuck that hotel
I remember using Apollo and being able to zoom the fucking video
Bots and admins fucking killed r/place
Booom
"I love what is going on just above the indian flag. The crash, the tic tac toe."
Why is there among us people and flags everywhere?
"Who's up for turning all of the ""fck Spez""es into ""Fck Huff""s?"
"This Place is probably the worst, bots are everywhere and obvius (look at what was the italian flag, now bots have made it the Perù flag) and admin, instead of doing something, just decide to do nothing."
This is so wrong lmao. When canvas expanded we had our flag and toggo was not there. Technoblade appeared beside our flag only
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
So fun with all these bots!
You can tell where the bots
Do you se that white dot there under 18+25 that me trying make japan flag
"Wow, I didn’t think Reddit would post the actual proof of the admins censoring the canvas."
The map expansion is being shown way too early. It should have been at around 1:30. You can even see the little bottle on the german flag being cut in half because it’s not shown correctly
Widać
All my homies hate spez
"Its insane how out of sync this is, mark rutte came almost 12 hours before the expension yet here he is getting built right after, strange"
He les français placés un p’tit drapeau albanais sur le cote rouge du drapeau pour les albanais en France 🇦🇱🤝🇫🇷❤️❤️
What a day to see!
Love how because of the mods Peenaldo looks like he is constantly dripping instwad of one solid pic
Is there anything that can be done about the bot accounts? (such as having a minimum karma requirement to contribute?).
"I recognise that pixel, I put that one there"
Fuck Morocco
The french did it.. again
The fucking hotel is soo real wow its so good how people made it so fast woooow and the moroco wooow -_-
"Imo the admins should do a prank occasionally and turn all colors white for a moment, so bots will sabotage their own work as they can't tell the difference probably, just button placements. At least when they did that at the end of the last place, bots turned their flags and ponies white instantly."
The laps is wrong bro
German flag so fast conquering unclaimed pixels
Shoutout to the admins for helping make Ronaldo piss like a gargoyle.
Either I missed it or the people haven’t made a soyjack yet
"Looool that piss is animated, thx admins"
[deleted]
the expansion starts wayy too early in the timelapse
It's wrong. the timing of the 2nd canvas is way off
Honestly so sad why people keep ruining the Canadian Flag.
Morocco rebooting is the funniest shit ever but also the most sad because of all the bot use
"Some parts of the original canvas didn't update during the timelapse, especially both german flags an the associated art"
MIREK 😭😭😭
So boring... It never changes...
Fuck denmark
It felt like the french and the Germans never learned to share
Rip doner kebab ;(
Why are so many people trying to undo the American flag? I’ve put my white dot on the 50 stars I don’t know how many times and each time I come back they are being erased or colored out?
"Olha o Brasil
🇧🇷🇧🇷"
"So ashamed to ask this but what is the shame I again ask myself…..”how to add pixel, what is this r/pixel about”. Can I get help please.?"
Its crazy how touhou fans is doing bad apple
DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!!
The Sun God Nika drawing is crazi
argentina cant take with Portugal lol
"The fact that you're encouraging Turkey, Chile, and France's blatant use of bots to takeover spaces that were either added or occupied by other groups well before them, is insane."
Ukraininan bots are too spammy
How can I play from my mobile ?
This R/Place sucks. It should’ve remained a “once every 5 years” tradition
The Irish flag had one of the most brutal anime deaths smh
New nemesis discovered: danish
Wir müssen toggo zurückerobern!
not the bigot bots breaking the pride flag
Way too many flags
Truly riveting stuff here. /s
Disgusting to watch.
Dive into the Turkish flag
god I hate the void
can somebody PLEASE DRAW A GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG 🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
All I can see is that bad apple one lmao
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
THAT TURKİSH FLAG MAN >:D
"Its shit because since the mods delete shit they dont like, its not authentic and is a controled pr stunt."
literaslly savreddit.com just tryna get people to go onto their site yet we just erase it
Dude the second the canvas got bigger the Germans were already done hahaha
r/place is the worst place to show your country's love lol damn the amount of flags taking unnecessary space
Song name ?
🇩🇪🫵
Place continues to get worse with each iteration as we see more admin interference and more idiots who only make flags on a huge pixel art grid.
Papaplatte mega W
What is this a video for ants
Canada :D
The bad apple video is so satisfying to see in these timelapses major props to the madlads that have been working on it
Something is messed up with it when the new section opens
Another day of admins taking the piss
You can exactly see when r/placenl was asleep.
"Are people really so unimaginative that they feel the need to just plaster massive fuckin flags everywhere. There are two massive french, turkish, and indian flags. Would it kill you all to have some creativity?"
Rubius

Calm down.
Can someone explain to me  the story about this Spez guy? Why do we hate him?
Spez is the CEO of reddit. It's not only hate towards spez but aganist all of reddit and reddit admins.
Wow thank you! Fuck Spez indeed!
This is the way Fuck Spez
"After reading that I agree, fuck spez"
It looks like you've requested information! I found this article for you.
Not my CEO
"Unless you work for him, that's correct."
"+1 also, obligatory fuck u/spez and the admins."
"You will never be a real tech CEO. You have no profits, you have no users, you have no functional app, you have no inv3stors, you have no leadership skills. You are a pathetic little man twisted by greed and ineptitude into a crude mockery of big tech’s greats. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your rat-like appearance behind closed doors. VC’s are utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of years of markets have allowed inv3stors to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even your “verified” users behave like bots. They’re uncanny and unnatural to a human. r/Place is a dead giveaway. So is the popular page. And even if you manage to get a drunk r/wallstreetbets user to invest in you, or a drunk marketing intern to adv3rtise on your platform, he’ll turn tail, bolt, and short the second he gets sober. You will never be happy. You will never IPO. You will never be a billionaire. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, that you’ll reach Jack’s or even Zuck’s or Elon’s networth someday, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Resign. Resign. Resign."
Mega cringe.  You've been here for like 5 days and you are already so unrationally angry.  Just take a break from Reddit.

I think they got a number of people upset because a few started attacking a memorial to a popular streamer that died last year to cancer.
Yeah Technoblade but he's up there now in r/place
"I know, but that doesnt mean there arent still people griefing turkey because theyre still upset about it. And to be 100% clear I am NOT saying technos subreddit is behind it. Just probably a handful of fans helping with the griefing efforts that arent related to the subreddit itself."
Ohne pixel + techno fans made it in the live stream
I had completely forgotten about Mexico’s until now. Definitely one of the ones where you saw a lot of love involved.
"Same with USA, we just got our stars and we had great art last year"
they seem to be struggling with their flag for the 2nd year in a row. 🇹🇷
"I don’t think any of their flags are coordinated, just random people attempting to make a flag, so they look a mess."
Every pixel I selected in the Turkish flag was from a bot.
You mean gasp like it’s supposed to be?
Who says that it's supposed to be like that? As far as I know there were never any rules stating that people are supposed to work alone
Yeah you right. I guess I’m just disappointed that the coordinated effort of 20k people and X bots at their disposal and all they do is make flags.
"I feel ya, I'm in the german place discord and it's frustrating how the people there not only hold the large german flag but also have an alliance with france to protect all 3 of their massive flags. Just fucking let other people have space too! Am only helping small communities now but it feels fruitless to do so tbh"
"That alliance isn’t working too well then, one of Frances flags has been taken over. I thought it was the Germans getting rid of it."
were constantly under attack but i also hope that art is added soon.
Germany are DOING art on turkshi flags
Pretty sure bots are #1....
"Nah, the admin are the #1"
Yeah because of their bots
And in second place are the shitty admins. Fuck u/spez
american bots. USA #1 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Most Reddit users are American
Why are you being downvoted? You’re correct. Nearly half of Reddit’s user base is from America.
That’s why most of Reddit is brain dead
"Idc, but ""most"" would be above 50%. There are more Americans than anyone else here but they are the largest minority and not most. Maybe that's why he got downvoted."
The bots are clearly German and French lol there’s no way those flags are legit
Germany’s 90k discord server begs to differ
"bro we have a night watch comprising about 1.5k people
The discord is coordinated, we did that last year as well
https://i.redd.it/q10w4202htr81.png"
Click on have the tiles outside of country flags and it's like 90% 1 karma with random generated avatar accounts.
I was checking the French flag. It also has a bunch of 1 karma accounts.
Likely people are using alt accounts and bots but they are also doing this legit too. I am not saying these communities are not botting I am saying that they are for the most part doing everything legit.
I have 1 karma yet I'm not a bot!  I just use redit very rarely.
Somehow Morocco has the capability to put 2000 pixels at the same second.

"Turkey is throwing flags around, that is actually it. There’s 3 different Turkish flag on that canvas. Come on people do better."
"There is some art for turkey, just not on the flags because they keep getting destroyed, there are two things east of the North Cyprus flag"
yes because they destroyed the memorials of 2 people that passed away
"Yeah, one for the maiden's tower located in Istanbul and the other to mourn the losses in the Turkish-Syrian earthquake. Pretty nice to see them finally making art."
Why don't you shit on french too? Theirs are worse
And there were even more. At some point there were like 5
"Look at the artwork done on French flags, then look at Turkish flag, they can't even have the stars and moon done right"
Wait there were other countries? I thought only France and Germany.
"turkey only exists by destroying memorials, and replacing them with poorly drawn, uncoordinated symbol/flag."
Your statement makes no sense. They're doing the non-flag related arts you're seeing in canvas.
"No, you cant make a leaderboard other than this. When do you count someone as a community member of something? When they placed a single pixel in the area of the community? Could be a griefer. If they placed a right pixel in the area? Could just be that they wanted to be nice. It doesnt make sense and you can never get the right parameters. Showing this however is pretty good, of course a lot of Americans are going to be involved in a couple of different projects and smaller communities, but they are still american"
American people aren’t making giant flags.
I don’t think a lot of younger Americans have a lot of national pride and would rather support their communities over a flag.
I live in Germany and know almost no German having national pride haha. I don't even know when the last time was that i saw a German flag anywhere
"Im saying there is some shame in being American nowadays especially in the world stage.
You all are the backbone of the EU and should be proud of what you all have done for the European community."
"With all the things that you have listed still, as far as I know, it is not uncommon for liberals in america to hang up a flag. I might be wrong!
German redditors are mostly liberals as you can see in the ""fck afd"" ( afd is a far right political party) and it is really uncommon to show any type of pride. It is more part of our culture to complain than to see the good parts of our country. If I would hang up a German flag in my garden people would think I'm part of the afd or something haha.
I do see your points though!
Excuse my grammar :)"

Canada being hard carried by Quebec once again
I'm pretty sure the amount of pixels being placed trying to maintain the Canadian flag is higher because it's a constant war to keep the flag up
And we are losing too. Looks more German right now.
Why are the Germans doing this? They already have a flag across the entire image*. Meanwhile it took me 5 minutes just to find Canada
The official German r/placede community with the big flag supports Canada and rejects the German flag in Canadian territory
As far as I have seen this not done by any german community. So might be someone else that wants to make people angry about germany. Happend a lot last year aswell.
Sadly it's some group of trolls that decided to ruin canadas flag in our colours. The official German r/place community is in no way associated with them.
Yeah the flag didn't do too well overnight
I’m actually not bothering you guys this year lol
germany has 82mill people
Based on these numbers it seems like Germans make a flag and Americans are making everything else on r/place.
"everything else might be a bit stretched, don't you think? I mean what about all those flags the average US citizen can't even assign to its country?"
Hyperbole?? On the internet??? I can't believe it.

The Americans on Reddit were never obnoxious. the republicans aren’t on here

Apparently France’s culture consists of being a giant shit towards everyone else then. Checks out.
You make a good point

Number one and our flag is so fucked up.
Americans are probably making all the other art on the canvas.

US flag is complicated to make.

"I'm kind of impressed with my country (Canada). We can't get even a modest flag happening, but we're somehow still in the top 10? I'll take it lol."
USA! USA! USA!
"This is ridiculous.
This thing is full with bots."
All these flags are super ugly
Either Swedes are amazingly organized and effective or there are a lot of Americans proud of their Swedish heritage.
Why everyone is fucking Spez? What’s the deal?
Argentina pixels come from destroying UK flag while we sleep. UK pixels come from restoring it when we wake up.
Ya ampliaron
Y compte tu les pixels du Qc sur les pixels du Canada par ce que c pas méritê
Türkiye?
1.5 million pixels and they still can't draw a maple leaf.
Fuck u/spez
What’s the point in taking part in this when every time we comeback someone’s erased something you’ve taken part in or started?

"I was no bot but had the same no comments/submissions, last place's trophies, 1 karma before this even."
hell yeah! ban mods and bots

Shego is hot. Nsfw ATM lol
Where
Left hand side of the live map. She was nude recently
"Hold fast, brothers!!!!"
Where is it?
Bottom left corner
"Oh yeah, they almost managed to do it on Shego, but then came a bunch of random green blotches."
Bro I saw that and I witnessed war… internet war…
That artwork was mostly made by bits anyway...
"Agreed, let's go for a bot-free, organic r/place experience!"
"We aren’t using bots, we have a discord server we get people to give us ideas and we then orchestrate them"
Yeah at some point there just came these Big green circles on her… you know
Mkay speak in a language I can understand plz.
The bad apple animation is insanely cool!
Is that the little black and white one next to Canada’s flag?
Yup! We are about 2:57 into recreating the original animation atm (Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtutLA63Cp8 ).
"How do you even coordinate that?
It's amazing, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it."
we're using a template manager that's updating what color specific pixels need to be in real-time
Do you happen to have a link to the template manager?

"Pretty well through a mix of using the discord we set up during last year's r/place, and being a bunch of nerds and what not lol. I'm not the most proficient at organizing these sorts of things, but people have made alliances with other communities to help out. There's also a general overlay to help guide where to place the pixels, using a template manager. Not everyone is using it, but it has helped a lot."
"It's been so fun to watch it change over the days, the discord has been so chill to sit in too :)"
you guys  are hard carrying r/place this year
The osu/Touhou/Foxhole content this year has been insane
And Canada just slogging on their flag 🤣🤣🤣
Watching Canada try to make a maple leaf is my favorite
I’m trying to make a bright yellow Bananada flag but the usurper country keeps messing it up with its flag.
You mean Canada trying to defend their flag from people trying to make it a banana or a marijuana leaf? When they get left alone they can make the leaf just fine.
im not part of any discord or reddit sub but i do place a few pixels over some colored ones ik aren't supposed to be there :D glad to be a small part of this
I've been helping despite not being in either communities
"It’s incredible, I’m so glad it’s lasted the whole time so far"
Yes
"Bad Apple is the only thing I’m doing this r/place, the rest of the canvas feels so empty and soulless compared to last year."
You mean you don't like FLAGGGGGGGG?
You don’t like streamername???
Except for day 1 xd. Then the mr jeb (asshat) didn't like all the feeback and replaced it with bots. Fuck jeb
Was it a year ago already? It feels like only a couple of months. Maybe that’s why it feels so souless. I adore place. Even though I don’t have the time to dedicate to it anymore. The last one still felt really fun because it had been so long since the first one.
Imagine Bad Apple playing in the background of this vid
I Love touhou.
I really wish there would be something like this just bigger
"It's really hard to coordinate even at this size for the difficult parts of the animation (if anyone wants to help out over the next hour it's gonna be real tough, please check out BTMC on twitch and place some pickles!)"
The server we coordinate in too is here.
We’re almost done let’s gooooo
The bad Apple animation is single handedly carrying this year's trash r/place. I don't even know what it is but I'm gonna help around because it's one of the only things worth contributing to. 😐
I don’t even really know what bad Apple is and I see it everywhere but this is next level
"Its the video to the song bad apple, that has been recreated everywhere."
"Rule 86 of the internet: If there is a screen, it can play Bad Apple."
"If it exists, it can play Bad Apple.*"
I'll try doing it on people skin
Draw a frame in on your hand or somewhere in the body
Same with Doom
next r/place gonna be doom
"They finally had some ideas on what to put on it the moment it got trashed, the idea was to give it up to smaller communities as a protected canvas but they took too long."
"Yes, we ended up doing this on the parcel we eventually tool back (Japan finally found a place to build the 🌊!)"
"Osu and Badapple communities were almost nuked out by the Morocco thing botters, that are now keeping with blood the whole thing whole"
"Lol my dude, we felt defeated and there was nothing we could do about it. I can assure you we did try to stick around.
But also let's be honest, we felt so overwhelmed by the amount of pixels we were supposed to build on, we soon realised it was a blessing."
"Shit, I was giving you guys credit. At least you're being honest 😭"
With every big french streamers boycotting this year r/place it is hard to stay as strong as last year.
Is it just me or is Place really boring this go around? If you look at this timelapse almost nothing changed.
"No I thought the same, really dull compared to the last one"
that's what happens when you drive off a huge chunk of your userbase
"They didnt drive many people off, they just made people mad"
They did drive off a lot of people from participating. I don't even know what you're talking about.
Can you tell me how they pissed of users last year?  I participated last year but was unaware of any drama
"The drama happened pretty recently. I don't know all of it, but from what I do know it was something with the API changes and something with 3rd party apps. It's also why on day 1 a bunch of people put FUCK SPEZ all over the place."
thank you!
"Reddit changed API pricing which made it impossible for third party apps and mod tools to interact with the site. Since the third party apps were much more useable than reddits own (and ad free) and since the mod tools were much more powerful, many communities that depended on one of those chose to leave."
"Just corporate run bots on Reddit now , AI interactions - I consider deleting my account since most people have left"
Lol no they didn’t.
"yeah the only noteworthy things apart from bad apple are people botting their flags or streamers destroying stuff for their ugly logos, no natural changes or overtakes at all"
"Streamers at least are engaging communities and making different pixel art,having 3 giantic german and french flags is so anoying"
"yeah i guess it depends on the streamer, i really like the big artwork in the lower right but the ones like the cat which just dump themselves on smaller communities suck. if you wanna grief, at least grief some of the 500 flags lol"
All the German flags except for the one with actual artwork on it is the result of streamers. They’re not part of r/placeDE
Because 90% of the users are bots. You can't do shit if every single piece is protected by a military
"Yeah, I tried to do something with a community and we got overrun by bots in like 6 hrs. You can actually kinda see it lol, the red almost ‘fuck spez’ thing"
The only fun thing I did the entire time was someone made a little dino on the top left and (at least for me) randomly started growing its tail
bots make sure nothing changes
FLAG FLAG FLAG
"Not even a diverse flags, I been trying to make an Ethiopian flag even 9x6 flag it’s been impossible but germany gulps up a huge chunk and for what?"
Who are the German assholes who keep doing this?
Check the Outer Wilds square left-up from the Morocco school building- the spaceship has been landing and taking off from different planets the whole time.
What are the coords for that?
"282,43 to 325,73 - though as I type this it's in the middle of a transition to a new scene"
The only thing that actively changing is bad apple and bot sabotaging
And it looks really similar to last years place as well.
It’s because the French and Germans are taking up a quarter of the canvas space
blame the german and the fr*nch
Yeah it’s because the stupid Europeans keep betting their flags everywhere so it’s just boring
"The only real highlight is the Bad Apple team’s work. Between the mod abuse, bots and flags erasing small communities instead of coexisting, this year’s Place is rather lacklustre."
It’s because the Europeans just bot their shitty flags everywhere and get rid of the actual interesting things.
"Like, I can get small flags, but having three huge ones is just way overkill."
The only official German flag that was promoted in basically all German subreddits is the first one organized by r/placede and actually made and maintained by humans. The other ones are made by trolls using bots and I think the lower one with a bit of art and a lot of ”fuck spez“ was made by a streamer.
Don’t forget it was mainly the Germans who attacked the left French flag to make room for smaller artworks and communities.
"Baltics have by far the coolest flags, because they actually made art with them and not just a big rectangle."
"Yeah, a community I'm in has had to move and restart on their art project like four times because every time they start to get a foothold, some flag decides to wipe the board so that it can become even more ridiculously oversized..."
The Nordic countries also good

Can admins stop fucking interfering using bots?? AND DELETE THE BOTS??
[removed]
Bruh france and germany is entire europe now?
The admins aren’t using bots they’re using admin powers.
But if they get rid of the bots who are they gonna blame for stuff disappearing
"No because bots show new “contributors” which helps their IPO, plus admins fuck up stuff like the guillotine so they can show a pretty picture to investors."
Bad apple is easily the best thing on the entire canvas
"Agree, it's really amazing how coordinated the touhou community is haha. Makes me wish that some other places could do the same and also make animations."
We also have the help of the Hatsune Miku community and the Osu! Community on our side. They gave been of great help.
Outer Wilds does something similar with the ship landing on different planets and the sun going nova in the end
BAD APPLE STAYS COOKIN RAGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Bad Apple looking so good !!
What is bad apple? Evrybody is saying its great and I want to look at it but dont know what to find. Lol.
would be great if your admin would stop interfering...
No it wouldn’t. I don’t care that y’all wanna see shegos tits!!!
a little quick cut there before kim appears
And gets immediately lewded
Lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed 💀💀💀💀 admins are busting their asses off covering her up lmaooo
"It's especially funny because after their blatant censoring with rainbow pixel-bombs they finally seem to have fallen back and used more discreet/""fair"" tactics, just for this to pop and and ruin their day"
I thought it was Shego?
It was definitely shego i have a pic of her boobies
what coords
Why has Turkey got so much space with that shit crescent and moon? Please do better.
"The better question is why they haven’t been able to fix that crescent and moon in 3 days… like it’s consistently looked shit and people are doing proper artworks, like this shouldn’t be that hard.."
Us over here at the bad apple server and making a moving animation with zero bots and they cant even make a damn moon.. Same for canada even with bots they cant make a damn leaf and keep becoming a banana..
Ok but the leaf is actually kinda hard
It's because unlike almost any other flag people won't let canada finish the flag even for 5 seconds.
"Well, it’s about time people realize that Canada is banana."
it’s because no one likes them around europe and they are under constant attack lol
They’re under attack because they refuse to put any art on it so it’s just a huge waste of space
Pride flag fighting for its life down there.
"Pretty messed up how people are constantly trying to black it out, but I guess the LGBT community being under attack here is just a reflection of reality."
It's bots from 4chan. They're also the ones expanding the pride flags onto other art in an attempt to make others add at the pride flags and join the attacks
"There's no way the blacking out and message about gender were done legitimately. You'd think the admins would do something about it, but they're too busy covering their own asses"
"yeah the blackouts of it were in waves almost perfectly timed with eachother, that couldn't have been many real people"
On what grounds would the admins do something about that? This is how r/place works and is designed to work. Tons of stuff is attacked daily
Same with the Israeli flag
Wtf is Germany’s problem?
They need “Lebensraum”
They're ambitious and misunderstood
Seriously it’s not a good look though
"I don't think anyone is concerned with PR, it's more of a capture the flag game on Discord and streams."
"sorry, old habits die hard"
The entire nation of Germany is participating
Thanks r/touhou and r/Osugame and all the others who helped in making the only thing that's keeping this event hype right now
woah seeing the bad apple animation like this is cool
Destroy the bots since it is of no fun nor enjoyment for the ppl participating
"The European flag bots are just so annoying and ruin the entire thing, and just invade everyone else, though they are European, invading things is what they are best at."
Fuck the Zeein cat. Glad it got wiped out.
The only thing I have done is try to keep the r/Save3rdPartyApps and r/blind spots from changing. When that Zeein cat came out I almost lost my mind.
Yeah that's been my favorite one this year I've was heartbroken when someone coverd over it I thought it for sure was gone
Thank you for your help! We appreciate it!
"I've been alternating 3rd Party's Place, that Bacon Reader (rest in peace) sprite will never die, and Pride, whichever needs it more.   When I came back and saw that wipe, I about died. I helped fix it and the lettering, but damn."
"Us Foxholers really can’t catch a break this r/Place. This is the second time we’ve been wiped, and while we are a lifeless bunch we wouldn’t have had the numbers to come close to pulling through without our allies"
Respect you Foxholers! I was glad I helped in the recovery of your spot as a roomba for the swarm!
bad apple is quite literally so insane. big fucking ups for the team behind it. my favorite piece of all time so far!
Right before the invasion of France
I think the r/placeFR decided to let the flag on the left for others because France did already have too much space
"They didn't decide to let it go, their streamers desperately tried to defend it..."
"So it's not just me, right? This year's Place sucks?"
Only interesting thing is bad apple
"We really gotta stop with all the country flags, that’s boring af. Bad Apple is looking amazing though. I’ve just been defending the blue corner. Some of the other things are looking really cool."
"Stop the censoring of things you don't like. You're just using this to show off how ""cool"" reddit is. It's despicable."
glad someone finally acted against french flags
Funny how they also cut it off RIGHT before it became porn
fucking shego
We could if the mods stopped removing her penis.
we just gonna build it all again
THE KOROK IS DEAD! DAMN YOU MOROCCO!!!
"They killed argentina flag too, and is so obvious that there are just bots, try putting a dot and disappears immediately, also you can see how it changes and they are event teaching how to set up bots in their subreddit"
absolutely nothing happening over on the far left do not worry about it
I wonder what tomorrow's timelapse will be like
The guys who animated bad apple are crazy
rise of the flags
Love that bad apple is still ongoing.
The bad apple animation is absolutely insane😭
Where is the void? :(
"You can see the void trying to spread a few times. I’d rather keep the void out of here though, it’s just wiping out people’s work. Unless it’s a country flag, especially France and Germany. I’m fine with the void then."
The bad apple animation tho
Can we just give Germany and France their own canvas to fight over while everyone else can make individual art pieces and stuff
whoever got rid of the mlp i fucking hate you smh
Instead of saying fuck spez we should just draw penises everywhere to piss them off
"THE BAD APPLE ANIMATION IS ACTUALLY FIRE 
POP OFF TOUHOU FANDOM"
It would really help the Bad Apple people if Canadians could stop killing Reimu...
Stop interfering!
Place is never gonna be like the first time it came out smh
It’s a PR stunt at this point
Who just drew a explicit person?
Canada flag 2 had the leaf down before the trolls  got to it.
What’s with all the German flags.
Bots
Nächster Part mit Shego ?
"Let the green line live? Last time was super cool with teams incorporating it into their designs, building bridges, riverways, etc."
"Yeah there’s too many bots this time round, can’t do shit. If you tried to join in at this point, you just couldn’t do it. The community I wanted to do something with tried and got wiped out in 6 hours, we had to abandon it so I’ve had to fall back on helping on the UK flag lol because I’ve got no idea what any of the other people are trying to do lol"
Sad that the ponies got destroyed :c
Ooh cool
Oh hey video proof the bronies were robbed
Eat my shorts
"People are saying bad apple, but where exactly is bad apple?"
directly above+to the left of the osu! logo
Bruh the Bronies got destroyed. What happened to it.
"German streamer had his 30k viewers attack us all at once. Then blackmailed and bribed all of our allies to get them to not help us take the space back. Finally offered a ""deal"" where we agree to move our art and the streamer won't attack our former allies, and we agreed to take a bullet for the team and move. Only to almost immediately fall under attack by a different streamer."
"Turks doing nothing with their first flag, yet complaining about griefers and telling others to ""wait"" for their art while making a second one. Mhm, for sure they will create any art on their flag and it won't be a blank space that could be used by smaller communities for art."
Bruh the whole bad apple thing💀💀
I hate how the bad apple animation keeps getting smaller compared to the board
Who else just watched the bad apple one
u/savevideo
How about fix the bot situation
2nd falklands war has kicked off
If you look right under the r/OnePiece thing
People see blank space on the canvas and say “That’s free flag-estate”
nobody talking about r/OshiNoKo pulling off a Madara Uchiha on the left void smh
That animation though
The bad apple is getting louder
Ban bots. They r so f annoying
poor canada cant even make their flag
"As I canadian, I give up."
Everyone thank the touhou community (with the help of osu and miku) for making this place even the slightest bit interesting
"Bunch of bots and streamers, wow, so exciting"
Fuck morroco comunity they only way they do something is bots fuck morroco
Think someone can coordinate adding a little wind spirit venti on the Genshin part?

Glory to the Void
"Fuck u/spez and the other admins for interfering, they can’t take feedback can they"
The bad apple is so cool man and enigma of fear too!!
We killin it at bad apple
"Who's the madlad who made ""Bad Apple"" in r/place?"
very large group of people working and coordinating even across multiple communities. It's real fun to work on it and watch it happen live
"WTF, r/touhou is recreating Bad Apple's WHOLE MV IN TIMELAPSE O.O"
woah no way they actually made a bad apple animation
"People are acknowledging Bad Apple for carrying. I agree, however we need to point out nsfw she-go as well as Morocco bot spam before the video ends. Bots and admin have ruined r/place this year."
I have no idea why but I have been fighting the Canadian flag all day today.
Can we stop attacking Canada please? We are too nice for 3 days straight of attacks.
I like how people just decided to turn the osu icon upside down
"I do not understand the hate against Germany. yes the Germans really have a lot of space but that is also the largest community in r/place and their flag is also full of artwork. The French were significantly worse in the meantime, and for the most part they only had empty space. I think the Turks are much worse, they can't even get their flag right and don't have a bit of decoration."
Not Japan crating a video here
You can literally see Canada get botted over. Get your shit together.
That one group making an entire animation 😨
will there be a mega timelapse of all the days together when this ends?
The Bad Apple guys are carrying this year’s r/Place. It’s literally the only interesting thing happening right now.
r/cockpiece
"Reddit posted “Protect Perry” on their twitter, even after seeing it was just twitch spam and meant to grief the ponies, literally right after they got destroyed earlier in the day. The MLP community on r/place defeated every raid, streamer, everything each year r/place was up, it took the official Reddit company itself to finally force them to move."
Canada is a battleground lmao
Thats probably the only spot where real humans place pixels
Bad apple will always impress
at this point it’s r/bots
That's insane... Playing bad apple but in r/place?
Is this the last day?
Fuck u/spez
attack the bluey community
Yes pls😂💀
Bad apple is crazy!
thanks to germany for cleaning the turkish flag on left that started after canvas expanded. as a turk ı dont see any reason for having more than 1 flag. but germany has more than 1 flag too and ı think ones that are empty should be cleaned up.
To many french flags.

omg i can see something i made!! :DD yippeee
For the people making just their flags can you at least put art OVER it so its actually cool? The main problem with flags is they’re not cool to look at but having your flag as the background while puting art that’s significant to the country or community is so cool to see
u/savevideo

I love how they kept Technoblade untouched
Been working with a small community trying to get some art in a small space and we’ve been wiped out 5-6 times already. It’s so frustrating because we’ve worked for hours to get a 10x10 space established and being decimated by a country’s flag in 5 minutes. It’s not fun anymore
I think over 50% of this is made by bots. That’s stupid. Doesn’t make fun

The fact random strangers worked together to create a realistic portrait of someone (even if it’s a community working together) is impressive af.
The blitzkrieg strikes again.

Is the canvas open?
"Oh, so Umamusume went with the fox goddoss group, huh?"
Just saw last night were German users were going on and on about American users and our flag while also doing everything possible to out French the French at putting their flag everywhere.
You can be invaded by anyone anytime be scared
You could've posted the time-lapse from last year and I wouldn't have known.
Ok
SOMEONE IS DRAWING OVER THE TECHNO ART!!!!
"Canada just resize back to smaller size please?
Still annoyed by the fact that their bot destroyed reimu."
"Every time, I just watch Canada’s progress on their flag."
Morrocco
r/place makes me imagine the ads of the future
Moroc ✨🐐
Rip lil  MF DOOM
Marroco is have bots
I just wish I knew how to place a pixel
also really clear evidence of mods censoring the qr code near that red skull :)
r/place
R/place
I’m confused why are there so many German flags
The one thing i liked reddit for is absolute trash this time around. Great going reddit
Bad apple fans r doing a pretty good job there
The french are so unbelievably botted it's not even funny
Great how no one touches the Technoblade memorial
u/Sorry_engine_6033
Bad apple is carrying 💪
I MISSED THIS
Why was Place so small this time? Hopefully it won’t end so soon
r/place
The animated gif next to the pink osu logo was fucking amazing
Lahwaaaaa
In case I make it just chilling in the middle
How do i get there?

that animation is insane i love it (bad apple)
"Legit excited about r/place

Oi
Morocco is still botting

No one's talking about how the scary red demon face started petting the dog
The second techno blade came in almost no one has touched them. Technoblade never dies.
"ULTRAKILL LIVES!!!!
I WAS THERE!!!!"
Enigma do medo👹
"What’s the point honestly? Drop a pixel and it’s immediately changed back. As a regular guy I gotta tell you, the bots are killing my interest. It’s completely pointless to contribute"
Rip the Canada flag
I was there when the two bot Canada flags appeared. It was baffling.
Its such a pain to watch Canada flag struggling to make a shape
There is an empty canvas.
"We’re taking a number of actions on bots and scripts to open more space for everyone to participate. While we did anticipate bots, this year a lot of the action is actually script assisted real users and they are frustratingly difficult to detect. We will continue to work on mitigating usage."
"Why do you allow accounts that were literally made minutes ago to participate? The very least you can do is give them substantially longer cooldowns. So, SO many pixels placed are from accounts that are less than 3 days old."
you have not censored past years.
im pretty sure the french flag was just bots seeing as it immediately disappeared upon the whiteout occuring
IIrc both the 2b and vandalized Menchi art that xqc made got censored out last time o.
"I called out germans after taking screen shots of their autoclicker script on their offical discord and posting it on reddit all they said was ""We are not adding more people its just an autoclicker we are not violating any rule we are just working smart"""
They're using an autoclicker that places pixels with a precision and timing that is only possible by software. It runs 24/7 and never makes mistakes by clicking on the same pixel at the same time as another user. It works while you sleep or poop or cook dinner. It's an unfair advantage that is definitely cheating. Even a few thousand accounts like that would be a huge advantage evidenced by how much of the canvas Germany is hogging.
Well if you look at my comments they are still downvoting me for spitting facts
yes. there are 288 five minute intervals in a day 12 intervals per hour * 24 hours.
"Yeah I hate Germany's ""honorable"" bot usage. And whenever someone says something, they just bring up their 100k discord server and nightwatchs."
"I am part of the german group, and i also hat the bot. Its called ""Zinnsoldat"" (Tin Soldier) since it sounds better than ""BOT"""
Sad you were downvoted for this. I was also downvoted for calling it out by German trolls.
The Admins removed the guillotine
It's been remade about 10 times. A version of it is up now as well.
1: that doesn't make sense.
"Do you know what the API or bots for this look like? These seem like assumptions to me. They probably don’t use the UI, but colors could be done via index rather than color code (probably makes more sense) and when they go to whiteout mode, they could choose to accept all requests, regardless of color code (ie. Clients that haven’t updated to white out mode that still send a request) and simply place white instead."
The few who were suing bot ssaid that the bots did nothing when the whiteout happened. France was whiteout because it was attacked by the spanishs.
"Ironically, you're making a lot of assumptions yourself, ones wildly more outrageous than the ones you're calling into question lmfao. Throwing stones from glass houses much? In case you want definitive answers, we have statements from people who were using and making the bot scripts that the whiteout simply made any of the ones meant to place things besides white not work."
yes i personally had made a bot and know what it looked like
"The whiteout ruined so much great art today, fuck the whiteout"
What's the whiteout?
It's the final moments of an r/place run. The only colors people are allowed to place is the color white to wipe the canvas clean again for the next run (or when the admins need to jingle keys in front of us again).
"You say that like it’s happened more than once… the whiteout was just how 2022’s run ended, the original in 2017 didn’t have a whiteout period. We have no idea how this newest run will end."
"In my defense, I didn't know reddit existed in 2017 because I had a life."
had
I know what I said.
"The people who were botting admitted that the bots crashed when the colors was not available, it didn't paint white. It turned white becaus eit was already being attacked."
Immediately disappearing once the whiteout started says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about botting. It is usually a mix of targeting from steamers and being a very targeted artwork that caused the immediate disappearance of the artworks that did. Please do not keep saying nonsense without verifying it first
"No it was just that we were super active in this region, like more than 400k french on twitch and even more Spanish and American on twitch trying to destroying it"
Nah it was real they had a lot of people since people that regulary have nothing to do with reddit talked about it and maked it big in France.
Yeah I remember the same thing happened prior years. Was it the Amongus penis? Might’ve been
The Widowmaker ass comes to mind too lmao
And 2b’s ass
"Yep, I absolutely remember that. I remember coming together and organize with other users to make cool stuff, and having it all be worthless stung. That's why I'm not participating in this year's r/Place."
Everything I do disappears once I close or refresh my browser. What a fucking waste of my time.
They are only looking at this as a business and inflate their numbers. It's all about them pumping up for an IPO. Fuck u/spez
I often think about how I would have really would have like to see what the timeline would be like if Aaron Swartz (one of 3 Reddit cofounders with u/spez being one too) had gone a different route in Reddit's early days and had become more of a key figure instead of someone who really didn't like showing up to work.
"I doubt Reddit would be as big as it is today, because Swartz would probably have been pickier about who they sold ad space to."
"Frankly, we should have kept Ellen Pao. She was trying to make necessary improvements to the site while keeping reddit's core values intact. But a bunch of people on reddit saw the changes and decided that Pao deserved to be harassed off the site."
"Frankly, we should have kept Ellen Pao. She was trying to make necessary improvements to the site while keeping reddit's core values intact."
Unpopular policies like...
Is that all she did?
"pao wasnt even the ceo, she was an ""intern ceo"" and only had a year left in her internship. spez was always gonna take over, he just used her as the fall guy for the changes he was pushing back than so he could come in looking like a hero."
"Imagine if we convince the botters to delete their accounts inmasse, so that this strategy doesn't work."
"Why do you allow accounts that were literally made minutes ago to participate? The very least you can do is give them substantially longer cooldowns. So, SO many pixels placed are from accounts that are less than 3 days old."
cynically correct
Shareholders will ask how many of those users have been retained and are still active. Those numbers won’t be anything to brag about.
"You will never be a real tech CEO. You have no profits, you have no users, you have no functional app, you have no inv3stors, you have no leadership skills. You are a pathetic little man twisted by greed and ineptitude into a crude mockery of big tech’s greats. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your rat-like appearance behind closed doors. VC’s are utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of years of markets have allowed inv3stors to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even your “verified” users behave like bots. They’re uncanny and unnatural to a human. r/Place is a dead giveaway. So is the popular page. And even if you manage to get a drunk r/wallstreetbets user to invest in you, or a drunk marketing intern to adv3rtise on your platform, he’ll turn tail, bolt, and short the second he gets sober. You will never be happy. You will never IPO. You will never be a billionaire. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, that you’ll reach Jack’s or even Zuck’s or Elon’s networth someday, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Resign. Resign. Resign."
Is this a pasta? Cuz damn
An edited one
It is now.
why are you replying to this guy it's not like he's spez
Lol I'm riding off his coat tails for visibility. This is one of the top comments in the thread.
This comment is euphoric.
"lol. The whole point of this sudden /r/place is to boost traffic. Thanks to these new bots, Spez can go around bragging about how the number of users greatly increased after he stopped allowing 3rd party apps."
"Literally scamming adv3rtisers, who want to sell their product to actual people, in the process."
Fuck u/spez
"I'm pretty sure this event is in place to attract more new users, so ofc there will be new accounts."
The sole purpose of this happening is to drive traffic and pad their activity numbers ahead of their IPO. It’s an incredibly obvious move.
You’ve not outlined the fact that being SFW was a requirement
They have a wiki page?
and you have not censored past years.
"This is just another entry in a series of terrible decisions by reddit, inc. At this point, it's such a pattern of behavior that you could consider it standard operating procedure."
What’s Shego-gate?
"On the left edge of the canvas, Shego, a character from Kim Possible, is being fought over by users and Admins. Users made her naked, admins would not stop censoring over it every five seconds. This seemingly angered users to a point where they now refuse to stop drawing nipples onto her."
Lol thanks :)
"I hope this goes through. Apparently you can get shadow-banned from r/place. You can still ""place pixels"" and is still given a cooldown after placement, but when you refresh the pixel was never there to begin with. I tried making a post about this and it was rejected by mods."
I add a pixel and 1 second later mine is erased and overwritten. Happened all 10 times ive tried to start a pic. I give up.
"I just got banned from placing pixels in the bottom left quadrant (by Shego). They can block us from areas, how interesting."
"So the Moroccan 1337 building and flag should be gone within minutes then, right?"
for as long as 1337 stands we know that this rule means literally nothing at all.
"Yeah, the botting 1337 community is the prime example of their DELIBERATE INACTION to remove bots."
"Seems to have disappeared, for now."
They back
Yup and literally said “Attack Colombia” what a joke of a post tbh
They just destroyed the complete art that was on the flag :( this post is a complete joke. All the acc that are attacking are new acc
"I watch those fuckers destroy all that beautiful art, this is infuriating and a shitty experience, man I really hoping for a new site to replace this so that I can finally leave reddit and it''s shitty mods"
Worst of all the Marocco map features South Sahara as annexed part of Marocco
Western Sahara*
Fuck them to the ends of the earth. Seriously. That art was beautiful.
Blocking day-old accounts with 1 karma is too hard.
Meanwhile they do block years old accounts with plenty of karma. Every block I place disappears whenever I reload. Aweful.
"A 1337 guy told us on discord vc that effectively they are botted, and they can rebuild their shit in a matter of clics, they threatened to destroy our flag (r/colombia). It's insane. Everyone knows that they're botting and there's no punishment at all."
"Well RIP r/Colombia Morocco just botted you out of the map with a comment in their ""GUI"" saying ""Attack Colombia"""
"And yet redditors will be like ""bbbut France and Germany!1 and flags!"",  even as  Moroccan bots wiped out Colombia on both sides (and Colombia was there first, wasn't it?)"
it's a testament on how this post is a obvious lie and like always reddit fails to do the right thing...
If there just was any indication that reddit is a lying piece of shit that shouldn't be trusted in the last 2 months...
"Colombia got wiped out within a minute, with the "" Morocco land "" on it"
We need the German and the French to get on this and sort out what admins wont
Watching south americans review-bomb their school on Google Maps has been pretty entertaining though LOL
Yo do you have a link? Let's help. Fuck those guys.
Here you go link
Google already deleted all of the bad reviews.
So what the hell are y’all actually doing about this u/reddit_irl ?
"Yup, I was working on some art for hours with others, and it got wiped in seconds by them."
"the colombia flag destroyed what me and a bunch of collabers were doing in around a minute, i would imagine theyre using bots too"
"I was talking with diplomacy from Colombia and other hispanic countries, and I can fully assure you that we don't have any kind of bots, we have people"
"I wish I could help you rebuild what Colombia lost, these fuckers and their bots, I'm still using my pixels to try to resurrect their flag"
"Its ok, we have reborn with a flag next to Venezuela, however, the bots are still there too, thats what sucks"
And I can fully assure you that one person who didn't see bots is not an assurance
"AY HIJUEPUTA, NO OTRA VEZ  D`:"
"Ahh yes, they decided to make a ""No Bots?"" meme, and went right back to botting. Instead of the mods fighting actual people over Shego's tits, what if they do what they stated they would instead?"
You think the mods are actually doing that live? They scripted it on a 10-second timer ages ago and called it a night. r/place is safe once again.
It actually seems like they were doing it by hand
"There's also ElZeein's bot army ruining art at the top left of the screen for that garbage cat. Is this the ""hard to detect"" botting we're hearing about?"
That fucker is still trying to put his shit art out?
"It's all facade. Bots mean new users and they made this event EXACTLY for that reason, to generate new and new users to sell the platform for higher price after the IPO."
And finally we've hit the nail on the head - this now need us to shut up about it before the  investors see
"As one of the Colombia's official discord admins were very sad and frustrated with this situation that costed us several days of work, thanks everyone for all the support on this situation, were trying to rebuild and get rid of that 1337 programming school"
destruyo a colombia un señor es un crimen de odio
"Nothing has changes in a whole entire hour, you say."
"right, i watched it and the orange crap come up in SECONDS right over where me and a few ACTUAL people were trying to build a small build. over and over the bots come and ruin every space we try to inhabit. giant stupid flags over all the art."
And additionally the 3 giant French flags and multiple German flags?
"Just after this announcement, the Morocco bots destroyed the ENTIRE flag of Colombia. They even show loading bars while doing it... Difficult to detect... Yeah, sure..."
"I wonder why they allow newly created accounts to participate. it is more than obvious that a newly created account is a bot or an automation. They should demand a minimum of karma to participate, that it will work for something and it is not just a number there that adds up."
The karma cap is easy to beat if you have 1000 bot accounts that just upvote themselves on a random sub that isn't moderated.
"The limit could be set on account age, instead of minimum karma"
People will just make thousands of accounts a year or whatever in advance
Hmm. I wonder if that is the driving force here. Lots of new accounts to outweigh the people who deleted accounts with the recent changes.
This is definitely it. They took a hit with the backlash from the API stunt they pulled. Now they need to balance the books.
"Not only that, you can't use r/place without using new reddit. So they are also artifically creating data to prove that people aren't using old reddit anymore so they have a ""reason"" to remove it all together"
Sometimes I think I’m cynical and then I spend some time on Reddit and think I might be naive lmao
"Ahhhh so this is why I can't see the canvas. Oh well, still not switching to New Reddit."
"TLDR: bots are bad, Reddit needs to fix it, lets talk about specifics on HOW they can actually fix it for next year.
Still interested in this futile exploration into solutions that reddit won't give a sh## about? then come on in take a seat and let's get to business my fellow keyboard commando comrades!
i gave up on r/place this year because while trying to participate, i started getting push back from other users, which is 1000% to be expected. that's cool. it's the wild west WWIII out there, i get it. but when i messaged the various accounts that were making the changes to see if they wanted to negotiate or collaborate or compromise.... every account was a flipping one day old bot account with no human presence that would or could reply back. screw this broken system event. my only hope is that maybe next year they'll fix it.... but how can they fix it?
Reddit really REALLY NEEDS to address this (even though they probably won't because they're loving bots pump up their account numbers as they try to recover from their recent bad API decisions). r/place is supposed to be about community driven creativity, and bots ruin that for EVERYONE because bot farms destroy the magical human collaboration element of the event.
Here's my bot-blocking proposal (REDDIT DEVS I'M LOOKING AT YOU) Please let me know what you guys think or would change to make it better:
1. Account Age Check
account age should def be the primary gate check for bots. but (REAL) newer redditors shouldn't be punished because of fake new bot accounts. i think the best option for minimum account age would be to limit it to accounts that are at least one day YOUNGER than the number of days that r/place WILL be up are LOCKED by default and require captcha magic. no if ands or buts about it. so if the event will last for 4 days.... only 5 day old accounts or older are allowed without captcha. this will allow new legit accounts the chance to play hassle free while preventing bot accounts made on day 1 from participating on day 4.
This requires making the r/place go live date random each year
as well as keeping it top secret until go live date.
while that will be a good as a first bot deterrent, as u/CraftyPlayz_ pointed out that ""People will just make thousands of accounts a year or whatever in advance."" i agree... this can and will probably happen to some degree, but only after bot lovers experience being bot-blocked the first time this gate is put in place.). i would wager that well above 50-75% of active bot accounts right now were created by NEW bot lovers who didn't participate in previous years... and only jumped in to play because of FOMO (fear of missing out) and as we know FOMO ... ONLY kicks in once something has already started happening. too late, so sad... no bots for you johnny late-comers.
2. Account Activity/Karma Check (aka. dealing with pre-created accounts waiting in the wings for the next event)
bulk new accounts being created from a single IP address at any time of year should be detected, evaluated, and if necessary blocked and purged from reddit.
low or no karma accounts that just sit there for weeks/months/years on end with no logins or activity are by default LOCKED (not blocked)
accounts with algorithmically detected karma farmed levels are LOCKED, and all accounts that contributed to the farming account's posts will be flagged for a second tier more advanced bot detection algorithm to determine if those helper accounts are also bots. if they fail the second tier analysis then those accounts are also LOCKED.
LOCKED account procedure: because no algorithmic analysis will ever be perfect, some legitimate accounts might get LOCKED. to prevent reddit tech support from being flooded with protests, LOCKED accounts, can be UNLOCKED through performing a short series of automation-blocking ""are you human"" challenges, like captcha stuff (may God help the captcha devs stay ahead of the AI learning curve).
3. Bot Detection Check & Consequences
legitimate human driven accounts that share the same IP address as verified bot-swarms should be investigated and if found responsible for operating or supporting said bot-swarm, and forcibly removed from Reddit with extreme prejudice.
there are SOOOooooooooo many, easy to invent, bot-detection algorithms that can be easily put in place.
just as one example: accounts that place a pixel every 5 minutes or at a very specific non-deviating interval, or even randomized intervals 24 hrs a day are warned that suspicious behavior is detected and if the behavior continues without any changes, then BOOM .... LOCKED.... say hello to my little captcha friend.
What about countries or communities that illicit the aid of bot farms outside of reddit? how do we make them pay to deter others from doing the same... I've got two words for you: PUBLIC SHAME.
reddit users have a lovely 24 color pallet to choose from.
the color pallet is tame and easy on the eyes (ie. non-obnoxious)
when bots are discovered and blocked, all of the pixels they have placed, should be auto-updated to a non-selectable as-obnoxious-and-visible-as-possible color. like a eye watering neon lime or road-flare magenta. while this consequence won't restore the art that the bots destroyed, the bot-assisted art will be instantly utterly ruined, along with the reputation of the countries/communities represented in said art, and thus the ocean of valid art-creating users will now know exactly which communities need to endure their legitimate cancel culture wrath. hell, it's wishful thinking, if the PR is bad enough maybe cyber security department of a countries flag that's going to bot-hell in a flaming handbasket might even want to have a word with their citizen about the bad publicity. just let this disenfranchised man dream, ok?"
But at least it will help a little bit. It's better than not doing anything. Plus they will have to plan this stuff in advance.
"A lot of the bits are a year or two years old but with 1 comment, and no posts."
yeah but that way they become easy to detect as a group
"Cause it’s a numbers game. They want to brag to investors about tons of new accounts, but they also want to distract people from the repeated hurtful changes to Reddit."
It seems that after going public all the technology companies start to shit with the changes they make to please the shareholders
"Yeah like u/saddestofboys being driven out by the slime mould mods. Power goes to the head sometimes, even if it’s just a tiny bit of power."
What is a mod vs an admin?
Admins are paid and have more power than mods who are volunteers. They have the power to interpret guidelines in specific ways to throw their weight around and they can intervene in any sub where as mods only have power in their specific communities.
Thank you
"Daaaamn, I didn’t know! 
User interaction with SoB were the epitome of interest-based user interaction for me… sad to see that Reddit sure is dying out and already rotting inside… 
One can only hope that there will be a Plattform in the near future that tackles these toxic issues with more sustainability… 
Oh well! Thanks for sharing, and have a good one!"
At least one admin is directly involved
This has been my exact point. I was shocked when Place was already back. But once learning about all the changes. Then everything made since.
"There's plenty of old bots, and karma requirements don't solve anything. They can just go into a thread and circlejerk votes until they have karma..."
I saw so many under 2 hour old accounts. It’s just so suspicious! Like even some 30 minute old ones
"The point of r/place is to generate users. When it comes to number of accounts, bots look the same as humans in a business pitch. The fact that it’s not even April 1st, and they did this right after major controversy, shows they’re just trying to juice numbers"
"Funny enough, I created my account on the day r/place launched last year without knowing about the event lol"
German bots stop placing block in the canvas for some time and came back online
"honestly all flags should be destroyed.. r/place provides a creative opportunity for (pixel)art to thrive, and all people have in mind is their stupid nationalities.."
Why haven't you removed the Morocco thing then. It is the most obvious bot.
ElZeein's cat overwriting all the art at the top left and streaming it for everyone to see is another super obvious one
I'm still angry about that one.
Fr like I had worked hard on a small hollow knight thing and then over night it’s completely gone.
[removed]
"I’m OOTL, what happened?"
Started attacking several art pieces and overall being a garbage human. While we were making bad apple he tried nuking us because he claimed we attacked him (he literally covered up foxhole..)
Watching them destroying Grimm from Hollow Knight after we finished making it like an hour before was the worse feeling.
from r/muse. Our sign just so happened to be in the middle of the cat. Honestly it’s dumb that we small communities stand no chance against bots and streamers with millions of fans. One of our members was even muted for pointing it out in his chat🤣
ElZeein's cat
Morocco actually just consuming the board with bots
"Because it's one rule for them, and another rule for everyone else"
Blue corner has to be botted too they’ve not lost it and they fix changes within seconds. all flags are more than likely botted too.
"The blue corner is tiny (this year), and they do it literally every year. Maybe they use bots but it’s completely possible it’s an organized community keeping the blue corner, considering the blue corner is an established community since the first place in 2017."
"Exactly, if I can’t find what I’m looking for I can just go fix a pixel in the blue corner, it’s always there"
"Yep! I don’t think many users (especially newer users) realize that the blue corner has been in every right corner in place, in every year and every expansion. I do the same thing, if I can’t find anywhere else I go to the blue corner lol"
The most obvious bots are the Germans and the French
Admins: We've done nothing and we're all out of ideas!
I think accounts that are a week old should not participate in r/place
Bots I have seen are accounts all from 2 years ago. I have been searching usernames of people immediately swapping my tile they're all people with zero comments and 1+ year old accounts. Bot account created in past Place attempts being reactivated are a issue too.
The Moroccans are using accounts that were created today.
Germany and France's flags are almost all from bots with 1 karma and created 1-2 years ago. It really spoils the magic knowing that my few places pixels are drowned out by the power of a few hackers.
"Yeah, reddit needs to introduce mobile phone validation for main accounts so that each person can only have 1 participating account each. Then allow us to bank 3 to 6 pixels at a time with a hardcap of 24 pixels a day so that casual players can still contribute as much as any bot can."
There's so many low hanging fruit they can do to actually combat rather than lip service yet here we are.
That will ruin the chance of people new to reddit or joining reddit just for r/place to join in.
"Yep, adding Captcha in some way would be better."
Or just randomize the order/ inner name of the color palette from time to time
That one is quite good
Yes we think this idea is best.
"That's either inefective for the bots, or will just require 2 more instructions in the code."
Just add both. Captcha and randomize color order.
"If the servers uses a randomize function, the bots just have to use a sort function. Even a basic alphabetical order will suffice."
"Spot on, the bot doesn’t see colour it reads it. they would have to randomize the order and names for each request lmao."
[deleted]
It wouldn’t.
"most altgens use proxies, and 0.15$ can get you 1000 captchas solved
the problem is 7.5k french bot accounts and german userscripts"
"Captcha already exists when creating an account, but most bots can easily solve it."
while yes it shouldn't be a week there should be some limit with who can participate so that bots wont be as big of an issue
"But the goal of this event was to attract more new users, so that does not work out."
True. There's probably more efficient ways of detecting bots as well without punishing actual humans.
Bots were a huge issue last year too. The first place in 2017 had bot issues as well it’s just gotten worse every year. They’ve had time to come up with some sort of solution.
"If anything Place is a great opportunity to demonstrate their technical proficiency, with thousands seamlessly editing the same canvas in real time. It's actually pretty great from a tech perspective. Being able to detect and combat bots in real-time would add to that, and likely have a positive impact on their valuation."
"There's one major flaw in your proposition, bot accounts could just give each other karma in the private community."
"Great point! As a counter, bots that upvote eachother would be a convenient way to identify specific bot networks/clusters. A counter-counter would probably involve bots imitating users to gain karma from actual users. Something Reddit is already inundated with."
Ok and?
joining reddit just for r/place to join in.
"There isn’t really another fix for bots, and I don’t see any negative side to new users not being able to participate. If they like it so much, they can stick around and participate next time."
The other way around it will incentivize them for the next  around 🤷🏻‍♂️
How many?
I believe they should have a verified email at the very least.

This is what Reddit posts should be.
Great point
[deleted]
What a compelling argument. I’ll have to think about that
Shaft
r/place is for human collaboration. Automated activity is subject to removal.
they only care about pumping up the user numbers so they can IPO and cash out. this whole thing is just marketing stunt
How about banning 1 day old accounts with less than 5 karma from posting?
You are terrible at doing your job
"Genuinely, how do you stop bots ethically?"
Banning less than week-old accounts would have a huge impact though. Lots of people made posts last year where they were able to filter and identify bot activity. So those bots from earlier years could be detected and banned as well.
"ya think u/spez cares about the user experience? of fucking course not! its just to get user numbers up! If anything, u/spez would want likely brand new bot accounts!"
You’re absolutely correct. But this entire post is u/reddit_irl trying to convince us they’re doing everything they can - which is complete crap when they won’t even attempt the obvious solution everyone has suggested since this was a problem last year. Ban new accounts and accounts with previous bot activity. Then fuck u/spez and the admin who cover for him.
how about allowing only accounts with activated 2FA
captchas go for 0.15$ per 1000 solved
Thanks a lot because it's taking all the excitement.
it's taking all the excitement.
I prefer a r/place full of flag made by dumb real persons rather than a r/place full of automated bots
The flags are probably bots too
They definitely are.
Noooo what do you mean you're not amazed that we have 80k+ real people on discord and even have night shifts to create a flag that covers half the canvas and makes no room for others 😓😓😓 how insensitive of you
Especially if you have a bot to download pinned on r/placeDE just sad
"Meanwhile, Morocco and streamers like ElZeein using bots to overwrite art to make that godawful cat at the top left are both still up"
"He did that in 3rd party apps canvas but r/theswarm , blackcompany and fox hole games helped us to remove his botted logo"
"Yeah. That one only got voided after his stream and bots went offline though. And today should be the last day of r/place, so, unless it gets voided, admins actually take bots seriously, or his stream goes down, this one might not get removed in time."
Yep we don't have botters and script users helping us like Germany and France
Yeah… they’re not actually gonna do anything. This is all posturing.
Do something about Morocco coding school. They literally destroyed in minutes the Colombia artwork that they took hours to make.
Can we also talk about germany please?
Germany is letting people draw on their flags and were helping other communities too...
So? Germany is still providing scripts that do all the clicking for you.
"Yes, but nearly everyone in the placeDE subreddit is against this bot. There are maybe 20 persons who use the bot, the others are real persons."
"1 computer can run 100 instances of tin soldier. Even IF it was only 20 people, that becomes 2,000 bots clicking."
And France?
“difficult to detect” bro go with the simple solution and stop any account thats under a week old from participating
A lot of accounts used for botting were made a year ago for the last r/place
Some news outlets need to make a article about Reddit having a bot problem and using this year Place as proof.
"france has 7.5k bots that theyve been stockpiling since last r/place, and germany uses userscripts that are undetectable serverside"
I'm suprised the british are not stealing the land
I think it goes to show we're not the invaders we once were.
Oh they are definitely detectable. Just look at users who place exactly every 5 minutes over a certain time period.
"yeah no
2b2ts bot for example has custom delay so that doesnt happen
also, ping is a factor"
"This is easy to work around, just add random delay to your bot"
"A lot of the automated pixels are being placed by ''zombie'' alt accounts, those that are 2-3 years old but have hardly any activity on them. Better to do account age + minimum karma threshold but i doubt they will do this..."
This is probably the best solution but if they can’t even detect the extremely obvious bots….
Minimum carma won't help.  An army of bot accounts can easily upvote each other.  And place comments in a dummy subreddit like r/7shh6288
You allow accounts with less than a day of being created. SHUUUT UUUUUP
"There is plent bots one year old, still with 1 karma.."
"Sure, but both are not mutually excluyent tho"
Couldn't you just implement requiring a captcha when placing pixels?
It would be annoying when you have to do it every 5 minutes. How about a captcha whenever you go into r/place. That would make setting up bots incredibly hard.
well i think clicking a square is not really annoying...
"There are captcha solving algorithms now, that pass faster and more efficiently than humans. Captcha’s haven’t been effective against any bot since 2019"
Wrong. More advanced captchas are far from broken and anything close to breaking them required a lot of computational power
"By more advanced, do you mean the ones that are like ""select all the cars""?"
Correct. Anything image recognition is very computing intensive. Otherwise Google (ReCaptcha) or other services would be overrun by bots which they are not. They have pretty good bot recognition behaviour.
"0.15$ can get you 1000 captchas solved
not really a setup problem then, but a money problem"
"So, if you want 10k Reddit bots it only costs $1.5, it really does nothing"
Get rid of the OBVIOUS Moroccan BS then.
"Be creative, have fun, and give everyone room to create on the canvas"
But have you heard they have 1million people in discord in case no one mentioned it yet
God this is so true. Critique Germany at all and someone will just say their discord size. I swear they have bots working PR for them too lol
Germany is all bots and redditors lap up this weird narrative that it’s actually super efficient basement dwelling Germans no-lifeing the canvas.
We literally get more proof everytime the canvas expands. They control soo much of the board now and maintains it perfectly. Even tho the hype has definitely died down and we see less and less ppl in discord but same amount of control
At least Morocco is based enough to outright say they have bots. Anytime you mention how obnoxious Germany and France are you get a ton of people crying about how they’re “so devoted” and claiming that nobody actually uses the scripts their mods share.
True
What are you planning to do with Morocco bots? They are ruining the experience
hahahaha this is freaking lies Morocco is botting like crazy they just redid a pixel PERFECT rendition of their design that was reclaimed. The accounts are 1 days old this has been the case for 3 days straight now stop feeding us BS lol /u/reddit_irl
I can't take you seriously until you get rid of that moroccan building. It's easily the most obvious one
"The Moroco bots are back, can you guys do something?"
no morocco bots?
Admin abuse seems to be more of an issue than bots this year
Fuck u/spez
When will you explain how and when and why you use your admin powers to change our art?
"Will the FUCK SPEZ art be removed under ""targeted hate or harassment of private individuals hmmmm"
fuck u/spez let's see and find out
Fuck u/spez
thanks a lot guys
"My pixels aren’t registering and I’m not alone with this problem, please fix this."
reload the page
If i reload the pixel disappear.
I have the same issue. Sort of sucks. I contacted the mods and they just said to try the instructions in the support thread. Didn’t work and they never replied after that.
cough Germany Flag bots seem to try to hog more than they should cough
For a start DON’T allow accounts with less than 100 karma to participate.
"Great idea, but still might not work - the bots could bot karma by making posts in a private community and upvoting them"
"To be fair, we don’t really want a bigger canvas. What we really want is the removal of bots in r/place. Sounds hard but remember, you’re mods."
"Yes, remove the bots so admins can have all the fun."
reddit is corrupt istfg
"This Germany flag 🇩🇪 stuff needs to stop. Ruining it for other ideas, groups, and creations."
Germanys official flags at least have good Artwork. Look at Turkey....
Germans don’t like it when we “teach them lessons”. That’s how we got WWII
"yeah, honestly, we shouldn't have that many flags, maybe a few but not the whole thing being flags, it doesn't matter if you're lgbtq or doing your country, idk why they won't do it in a more creative way with there respective communitys"
"Just give them their own canvas at this point, let them make it one big flag"
"The annoying thing is they can create some great art with the amount of effort and cooperation they have. But they decide to just go fcking flags, the most boring choice for place design."
What about the German Skript? Who is placing exactly every 5 minutes a pixel for 12h or more?
For the love of god ban the morocco bots
they are frustratingly difficult to detect
If you removed all the scripters and bots the canvas would be mostly white space tbf Lmao.
"Alot of it would be, but it would be more creative."
True. most of the bots are just making boring ass flags.
I'm ngl if it wasn't scripters and bots there'd be actual incentive for people to try instead of giving up because it's impossible to draw anything over the bots.
Its obvious you let bot participate on purpose. Most of them on r/place are 1 day old. Shame on you u/reddit_irl crooks
too sorry too late
"nah we all know this is just to hold people over until the canvas is closed, they aint doing shit"
Needs French translation
Omelette du fromage
this year a lot of the action is actually script assisted real users
"germany has userscripts that inject into browsers, and at peak they had 1.7k in one vc"
"peak 1.7k? its 2:30 here in germany and we are 2.5k atm. (also please kill the top german Flag theyre NOT us, we dont know where it comes from). i think our bottom new one is more than enough, so..."
"well shit, i guess my stats are outdated"
"Groups coordinate in Discord, they have a script that detects whenever a pixel is not what it should be like according to their overlay. Script then changes that pixel right back."
That’s so much effort for a flag lol
Please let the Canadian flag be is all I’m saying
"Wait, overlays are a thing? Is that how people make such cool things?"
Yea a lot of groups make templates so work off of.   I imagine the majority of the really cool stuff is either bots or well organized groups using templates.
yeah! i think that's what r/place_the_wave is doing (i'm not on the discord where most of the convos are going on but it's on their subreddit). it's honestly cool to see some of the legit human collaboration going on on these things
Fuck u/spez
Morocco bots wiping out colombia as I write this
Y’all fucked it this year and you know it. The only reason you brought this back at all is soo your piss poor excuse of a CEO can get a bigger payout when Reddit goes public.
Remove access for new accounts would be a good start
"1337 comes back for 5 mins snd they invade half of the bottom map, such lies abt bots"
Can you do something about the morroco bots literally instant placing their piece and botting huge red stripes in before our eyes? Literally shameful to address the bots and then do NOTHING about it.
"Lol this is the epitome of reddit. This entire site is based on repost and dropshipping bots, yet almost nothing is done. It's worse than Twitter tbh, and look at how that is going."
"And finally, to top this pixel placing announcement off, the canvas has been expanded again to make sure the anti-spez drawings are less visible to our shareholders"
[deleted]
"when literally everyone is using bots and scripts, what's even the point of participating"
Hello many of us are “shadow banned” from placing pixels. If we try to place a pixel it times us out but never registers our pixel. It’s really unfair as we won’t be receiving the reddit Trophies due to us being “shadow banned” none of us even broke any rules. Please fix this issue.
fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
”Hey we hard that there’s bots and we’ve seen a ton of posts about who specifically is using them but it would be too hard to figure out who is using them and not allow 1 week old accounts to participaTek in r/place”
"The real reason you're not targeting bots or doing more to prevent 1 minute accounts participating is that this is all ENGAGMENT and that's all Reddit cares about now, the NUMBERS not the SOURCE of them."
It is actually insane how terrible you people are at your jobs.
a lot of the action is actually script assisted real users and they are frustratingly difficult to detect.
I’m hopeful
That makes one of us
Happy to see some action being done. Thank you for the update!
"User ""place_mall_cops"" placed a ton of pixels with in seconds ruining my among us art, clearly breaking the rules against botting, this is a no karma account with no history and is clearly a bot. How can you allow so many bots to break your rules for harmless fun like making among us pixel art to which there is already dozens?"
“hey guys don’t bot”
"Must be really hard to detect the bots at (-107, 25) repeatedly taking r/foxhole and baby metals art. It's literally a wave of wiping out pixels happening in unison"
"I think I am done with reddit. I tried to report obviously brand new accounts that are botting pixels, but there is not straight forward way to even report them lol.  I can now see the path reddit is taking and I am done with this bullshit.  I used to consider reddit a place to find real people talking about subjects, but now they just want as many bots as they can possibly get to inflate their numbers.  If there are admins charged with stopping botting, then they should consider themselves ultimate failures on all fronts."
Maybe you first stop abusing your power.
fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
Can you deal with Germany after the bots?
"Fuck u/spez, give us back the 3rd party apps."
Report Elzeein on Twitch. He's breaking the rules of r/place and in turn breaking rules on Twitch. Twitch is more likely to do something about it than Reddit.
BAN MOROCO
How about you do something about the BLATENTLY OBVIOUS Morocco bots?
"Ban all accounts that have no comment history, or any activity other than place from a few years ago. Then watch the whole mosiac be riddled with white pixels."
You clearly didn't care about bots
fuck u/spez
"ok this is cool and all, BUT FUCK u/SPEZ"
"So we're gonna get rid of the 18 German flags now, right?"
Morocco is back with only accounts that are 1 hour old. Working great isn’t it?
The moroccan building is a fucking joke pulled by bots
The way scripts and bots are being used this year should be a wakeup call to everyone about how comments and upvotes are also manipulated.
Please institute an account age requirement to use the canvas
Maybe don’t let freshly made accounts or accounts with 1 karma and no comments ever made participate?😒
Wow good thing your api change did so much in order to prevent bots on the platform 👏
"How was this posted two days ago, and botting is still rife, nothing has changed."
Disable new accounts participation.(upvote if you support this opinion)
Well that was a fucking lie.
"And finally, to top this pixel placing announcement off, the canvas has been expanded again."
fuck u/spez
[deleted]
domNounXXXX (<- X being numbers) to
r/place mods why dont you just ban the Shego NSFW Bot accounts because theres many people that are already fighting against it
u/spez ist ein Hurensohn
The irony of everyone that says fuck spez still being a chronic Reddit user. Y’all can complain but you ain’t going nowhere and pumping his numbers lol
Can you confirm that Reddit changed their stance on scripting as opposed to last year?
Start by banning all the Adjective_Noun-2314 accounts that have been recently created.
They won't do anything about bot lmfao
Can yall take down the ugly cat that keeps using bots to destroy actual effort made by humans then or is this just all talk with no action…
"Next time make it so accounts can only participate if they were made 2 weeks from before r/place opens up, and make some other requirement to be able to post pixels. 90% of the accounts placing have 1 karma and don't even have anything."
"“Difficult to detect” dog almost every pixel I click on is made by a 1-2-3 day old account, how tf are normal users supposed to join in on this?"
Can a subreddit run a “place” of it own. Like run a canvas of its own. Or is Reddit the only one who has the power?
We dont have fun with bots.  Its nonsense event.   Fuck u/reddit_irl and Fuck Steve Huffman
"You can't even block obvious bots whose accounts are a day old, much less accounts with no post history and 1 karma."
"You failed to even do the simplest thing of putting a ban on people with significantly young accounts and then pat yourselves on the back and called it a day, congrats on doing nothing"
"If you want your community to participate in good faith, your admins should also be doing this. There is no reason for there to be such blatant interference on art."
"""Taking a number of actions"" yeah, sure. If that was the case, then why is it that bot cesspools like the Morocco coding school are perfectly intact and unphased?"
Don’t let fresh accounts participate and get rid of Morocco
That’s all great but you kinda forgot making sure your r/place canvas was available to view on the iPad via the official Reddit app.
so... you are gonna do something with the bots or just making it worst by speaking without doing shit?
"it's absolutely bullshit letting 1 karma accounts participate because it's obviously not any real person, it's been discredited forever now, i can't even get 1 symbol on that huge turkish flag and literally every single square is a 1 karma account. it's supposed to be human collaboration but it's really bot city, then, it's edited tf."
r/place is for human collaboration. Automated activity is subject to removal
>  this year a lot of the action is actually script assisted real users and they are frustratingly difficult to detect. We will continue to work on mitigating usage.
Literally just block all accounts that weren't created before the start of this years r place. That's like 90% of all pixels placed. And maybe a VERY small karma requirement so people can't use their reserve bots. 10 or so.
"May I suggest maybe creating age or karma requirements because I even discovered the more accounts behind pixels you check,  you will eventually run into bots that has no activity, then placing a pixel.
Maybe even check ips if you have to."
"You absolute fuckin liars, the Moroccan bot army literally deletes Bolivia's flag and replaces their entire build in a matter of minutes, the Germans and French bot their flags all over the fucking canvas all whilst the mods are too busy focusing on deleting Shego's titties and anti-spez artwork."
So lame. Expansion happened and you can live watch art be pasted in.. this lost its luster..
"No one cares about place. 
Now is a bot place.
GG..."
"Is there anyway to report them ? I saw people on Discord threaten people with pictures of their bots now, so this should be enough proof right ?"
Here's a solution for free. Don't let anyone with less than 3 months and 300 karma participate. That should be doable for any real person
at this exact moment bots are blantly destroying the foxhole/babymetel art in a fucking wave of bots who where literally created TODAY.
24 hours and morocco bots still persist. What a fucking joke
next time... make only accounts thats been an account for minimum 1 year to participate. solves bot problems
"Accounts less than three days old should not be able to participate. This is your solution. It’s simple, probably easy enough to set in place (idk im not an admin, mod, or dev.), and effective at stopping bot accounts from doing damage."
Marocco is botting again… a lot of the old Accounts are banned but there are new Accounts created within the last 24 Hours
Hard to detect? my brother in Christ just look at the Moroccan flag
Germany and France they are using bots too you can see it clearly
France + Germany: maybe try and get some creative ideas. You guys are fucking embarrassing.
r/PlaceNL literally having a pinned message up for autoplacer (bot script) and ya'll are doing nothing about it.
funny how you're pretending to be against harassing individuals while also harrassing all actual users and pretending to be helpful when all you're doing is making r/place worse. By not giving ACTUAL users space it's all the more stupid to ask to give everyone room lmao. fuck u/spez
"Itu_republic, a Lithuanian streamer, was literally STREAMING HIM BOTTTING against foxhole, hurdy gurdy, and baby metal"
Will the canvas be expanded again?
One more vertical expansion downwards.
Super cool.
Sounds like your boss u/spez needs to fix his app If it's so broken that he can't even stop protests inside of it.
dile a los franceses
Cool. But fuck u/spez .
"Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn keine Ahnung was du mir sagen willst, waren sie aber schonmal in Baden-Würtemberg ?"
I understand it's difficult for you to detect scripts if you can't even prevent the botnets.
"If you really cared about botting you would've learned from the last r/place and limited pixel placing to old enough accounts (sure, sockpuppets from last r/place would still be used but it'd be an unfortunate consequence of acting too late) but you didn't for the same reason as before: To please the suits by artificially inflating the amount of accounts created through an interaction farm."
"Wow , so helpful. Also, fuck u/spez"
"Why do you allow people with less than 1000 karma participate?
The solution is extremely easy."
"Stop saying, ""Fuck u/Spez"".  Start saying, ""Fire Steve Huffman."""
"Why not say both? Also, Fuck u/spez"
r/place was activated again to boost numbers for the upcoming IPO and to distract from u/spez's stupid bullshit. I'm sure that the DAUs have increased by an order of magnitude just from bots and scripts. Save the handwringing. This was cynical and intended. You guys suck lmao
You guys actually did something good by expanding the canvas but yet you let new accounts to participate immediately? And you never told us the canvas has to be sfw so you can kiss your advertisers ass?
fuck u/spez
The Germans aren’t going to like this
"Great, now tell my why aren't my pixels showing up to others"
"Glad to see all of the effects this change has done,  botting has gone down a whole 0%!"
"""pixels should add to the overall experience, not to subtract from it."" can you do something about the big ass flags?"
Fuck u/spez
I hope u/spez stubs his toe every day for the rest of his life
Fucking prove it you liars
"Why are the mods removing art? If you want this to be human collaboration, why would you be removing art that the mods dont approve of?"
"After the events of the past month, do you genuinely believe Reddit's words mean anything to the community?"
Yeahhh you made the canvas bigger so there’s more usable areas for marketing purposes in the future that don’t have “fuck spez” in the middle of them. You’re in hardcore damage control. Suck shit.
Ok so are you actually going to do anything?
Allow nsfw stuff you puritanical cowards
fuck u/spez
"It's not even funny anymore, almost every pixel I click on is from a bot... r/place makes no sense or fun at all with this..."
"You should also curb the admin abuse, assholes"
Thanks for making r/place suck donkey balls this year
the morocco bots are back
I just wish I knew how to place a pixel
I'd love for someone smarter than me to do some coding magic and give us the data on how many pixels have been done by bots.   I'm sure it's nearly impossible to get exact numbers but I bet some nerd could get close.
Me waiting for someone to do something about the Germans occupying at least a tenth of the board
"pls make accounts with like 1 karma not able to place pixels man, Morocco is just blatantly botting right now"
I absolutely see boys in this image ruining the experience. 100% of what I placed is then copied over with two different bots every time no matter where I place
Bullshit
Karma Post 1. Literally every user of each pixel I replace.
How about an r/place NSFW???
"I was asking the same question. How's it possible to draw something if you get a pixel every 5 minutes that is undone in 10 seconds?
There's got to be a hacking, thousands of bots or this is all fake
Can someone explain how people manage to make those big detailed drawings?"
When are you taking action against admin interferen ce?
"You havn't done anything to resolve the issues, there are blatent botting on the r/place canvus but yet nothing has been done to resolve it"
"Ya'll are putting more effort into censoring art than eliminating the bots... literally just don't let accounts with under 100 karma join. That's the simplest fix, but instead, you guys are censoring Shego so it can look good to investors when reddit goes public. There's gonna be no community or good will left by the time this goes public."
"why don’t you have a rule where you need a certain amount of karma to access r/place like in some other subreddits? this is a serious suggestion, it could maybe stop the bots and second accounts"
No one is talking about germany. R u guys all germans here by any chance lol
Simply don’t allow accounts created hours ago to place pixels. Aw naw wait we can’t do that cos you need to boost your active daily user numbers …..we see through your shit
"Germany openly admits to using Tin Soldier to automatically place pixels - https://place-army.translate.goog/?\_x\_tr\_sl=auto&\_x\_tr\_tl=en&\_x\_tr\_hl=en&\_x\_tr\_pto=wapp
It was the pinned post on r/placede until recently."
"Every single issue with bots could be easily avoided by just adding an account age and / or karma requirement. How is it that porn subreddits have been able to figure out and implement this, but Reddit admins can’t?"
"You incompetent morons. When a user is taking place in bots operation, he should automatically be banned. Oh wait, your not incompetent, you just don't want to ban bots that are undistinguished from real users so you can bloat your user count, so you can run to investors and tell them how many renewal users you have. So your not incompetent, just greedy, want is from my standpoint way worse."
Please just delete this version of r/place.  It's a sad sick parody of the first two.
I told you that the french had bots
"Scripting, like using cluster bombs is unethical but when you get griefed by a Twitch streamer with 50K followers, needs must."
"1337 school is still there.
This post means absolutely nothing."

Could you not just stop accounts under a week old from placing pixels?
You want to mitigate it? 100 karma requirement to place a pixel. Problem instantly solved.
Yeah that dog thing just appeared and destroyed lots of art
Coming back to this post to laugh because it's relevant now with all the spam discord links haha...ha..
There is an empty canvas.
The global leaderboard reflects the pixels placed by each redditor's country determined by their IP address.
"How many pixels did bots place? 18,000,000?"
Bots are also participating? That isn't fair
"That lady over on the left, I've just watched an epic battle between bots n the amongus guys. They wanted give her lil pink amongus nipples, but the bots kept mass deleting them. I'm not saying this example is right or wrong, just that they're there"
I don't think those were bots I think its censorship by mods

"Definitely bots, I watched a few hundred pixels being placed at once"
"Weren’t bots that covered up the nipples. If you hovered over the pixels that censored the pink delights they had no name attached to them, which signifies mod censorship."
"We have 90k users on our discord and barely anyone even uses the bot, which btw only maintains artwork on the flags, it does not build the flags itself or expand. Most work is done manually and everything is highly coordinated. Also these bots dont add additional users, they are just a script to place the pixel for the user, we do not gain additional pixels/min through them."
"Only comeback you have is that like ""we have 100k members"" you know only 1k users are now on channel and 2k users are using Tin bot i don't understand where this 97k users go?"
"We have an overlay that tells us where we have to place pixels, we dont need to be in voice. Also on larger events we get pinged with coordinates. I dont see what point you are trying to make, i just said that the big majority is against this bot and doesnt use it. We are not a singular organism, some people will use it regardless. Though even without those bots we are able to hold the flag, we have done it several times already."
"The Discord shows how many people are online at a specific moment. When the canvas expanded there were over 40k people online, not 1k."

Bot says hii
"I think the fact that Americans lead the pixel count, yet aren’t trying to dominate the whole place with their flag (France, Germany) is something to be proud of."
"We're too busy making sure shego gets nipples and defending the other countries that are getting attacked by bots and streamers, typical american things"
busy making sure shego gets nipples
"Yeah Americans are really [relatively] chill, despite what people think of them"
[deleted]
Especially with such a large country with sprawled out population density and like 5 major cities in completely different environments with the population of the US being 333M people.
"Well I'm an American and I'm keeping Up the One Piece Territorial borders because r/place happens to be running during the biggest Anime reveal in history we've been waiting to see for years. July 29th and August 6th, Joyboy has returned. It's going to be Goku going Super Sayain or whatever hype anime moment you can think of level. And I'm sure r/place will explode with new frames of Luffy using a goddamn Chinese dragon as a jump rope and other insane bugs bunny shit."
"genuinely surprising to me, tbh"
"The majority of Americans, especially zoomers, think nationalism is cringe and hokey, from my experience."
"So the US has placed more total pixels than Germany, but they don't want to just spam their flag all over the board?"
"I'm glad we went for a modest sized Flag. Honestly the behavior from the Germans is what I expected from my fellow Americans. Heartwarming for us, kinda shit for them lol."
US pixels are mostly placed by streamers. They do hella lot for an hour. Flags are made by active users. Germans have day and nightshift to protect their territories.
If streamers and their followers could place more pixels than the entire country of Germany then that's even more impressive.
Bullshit. Our community is smaller than xqc alone😂he got us a few times. But like I said an hour later they go offline and we retake it. Its not our fault that we hustle more
For example last night on the canvas expansion we were just4k players. We took 2 big flags. XQC got online 3 h after expansion with 60k viewers. their void crashed our flag. We focused all capacities to defend. Kinda worked but both of our flags were half empty. Others could have easily attacked us. Your fault that you didnt.
"Not interested. Your German flags are boring as hell. And yeah, given that the US has placed more pixels, we could have taken it if we wanted."
"Yea, American here. I'm helping defend good art from graffiti rather than spamming a massive flag."
"Thankfully France lives good art and won't mess with like the 4 Yonko of one Piece popping up. But if some decides to put their flag over Joyboy has returned again, you don't realize how massive the One Piece fandom is now at this exact point."
They take so much space it's annoying. They have the nerve to complain against France too when they are the worst culprit.
The American flag is much harder to make

The French and Germans need to chill with the flags. Mainly France since they keep covering up artwork just to claim more space.
It’s the shitty French flags that have been ruining works with their 5 flags across every sector

The Germans put artwork on their shit and when the border extends they help remake the old stuff. So yes French need to chill. Literally last night and this morning they covered artwork.

Well i checked this theory for myself so i placed my pixel on a empty space just after the expansion and upon refreshing the canvas it was reverted back like nothing had happend.
"That’s a silly rule, it would be much more difficult for communities to defend their art from attacks, even if it’s just one misplaced pixel"

"Come on, give us the mods' numbers as well. XD"
We should all set a VPN to a country that banned does not like reddit or banned it and start placing pixels.
"if they blocked reddit, they have probably also blocked reddit.."
then we should set it to somewhere like Monaco that doesn’t have that many people and place millions of pixels

Germany is likely more than half bot accounts though.
Their own subreddit claims they have 3k bots running at peak times... if they all place 1 pixel every 5 minutes for an hour thats 90000 pixels per hour lmao.

We even have the problem of unofficial and unnecessary flags being spammed by hiveminded people that are not affiliated with placeDE or might not read the official announcements. We didn't want that many flags but since it has become a meme that Germany is always there people just do it for the luls. Trust me, it's not bots, at least not bots officially supported. If anything it's hiveminded people doing it for the meme or whatever."
Happy cake day!
You can check on pixels. They’re all real accounts. Other places on the map it’s just new accounts without karma. It’s easy to check whether or not someone’s botting.
"There are 10k active at all times, didn't you see the discord video?"
"PlaceDE literally said they don't want more flags until the last ones are filled, and at most 3k userbots were active, which haven't even run for the whole duration of the event"
"To be honest, the flag appearing as soon as the expansion happens has to be legit people. Expansions mess with the overlay, and most likely also with bot scripts. Someone would have to update the overlay after the expansion and it would take at least a minute."
Oh they're totally legit. That's why they had a pinned message on their subreddit explaining how to install a bot.
R u serious? Germany is 100% hitting it’s literally proved
"And spez for not just allowing literally everyone on the canvas without a limit on account creation date, would've eliminated 99% of the bots in an instant"
Watch Shego the whole time to see admin abuse at record speeds
Did you see the Union Jack towards the top? As soon as “fuck spez” was written it was nuked green.
"The shrek was a combination of 3 big streamers, they had 80k viewers or more in total, the admins didnt do this, also they didnt write ""fuck spez"" on it lol"
Ohhhhhh. I couldn’t see it and I didn’t see it live. Thanks for the info
"That was r/ukplace and not ""fuck spez"""
Thanks for the info! Couldn’t see it. Didn’t see it live. Looked real close to me
"We were about to draw a piece of pixel art shitting on spez but then we got nuked, lol"
"When the whiteout comes, the first thing that should be done is a giant white “fuck spez”"
"That was papa Platte, the 2 main Portuguese streamers (wuant and SirKazzio) and another German one. The idea to build a Shrek cam from want and then we asked the Germans for help"
Let's go Bad Apple!!!
"Stayed up past 4 am last night to help make sure the yin-yang spin went smoothly. That was by far the hardest part of the entire animation, and thanks to so many different factions lending their support it went off damn near perfectly."
"Same, was fun holding for Europeans to wake up"
I'm actually sad the bad Apple project finished. It's been the coolest thing I've watched unfold on r/place.
"Don't be sad it's over, happy it happened in the first place :)"
Bad apple. TWICE.
What's Bad Apple?
A Touhou music video. It's the anime version of Doom where the meme is that it can play on anything and the madlads recreated the entire animation on the canvas without bots. Morocco even tried to copy it with their bots and ultimately failed to when the admins banned those accounts.
"Oh, THAT'S Bad Apple! That was the coolest thing I've ever seen on r/place. It'll be hard to top actual animation"
They recreated this in its entirety
Please do something about Morocco's bot and also Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez is good tbh
"I only came back to see the fk spez, sad that it’s gone, but most seem to be happy about the outcome"
Fuck u/spez
Germany and Morocco battling it out to see who can be the most cringe and annoying group on /r/place
A lot of hate
Which is deserved because of how many art pieces it instantly destroyed.
Do something about all the fucking bots. No one can make art anywhere
What about Germany and France taking half the space?
Fuck Spez and the bots
"Wasn’t enough to ruin Reddit, they had to ruin r/place, also."
The bots help spez show off engagement numbers to the ones that pay his salary.
Can someone explain? New to Reddit
"Spez is Reddit's creator and he is trying to close third party apps thats helps people to make the stance in Reddit a lot more enjoyable. Basically, those apps helped blind people to be able to communicate (among many other things) and other people to make quality content on Reddit. He wants to close them, we assume that for economic reasons, but it is official that he is going to close them. In addition, it's going to remove the coins and royalties system from the app (which gives users the possibility to make money), He has also given too much power to the Reddit moderators and does nothing against the bots that ruin the app and r/place. All to show more numbers."
"Wow, he sounds like he’s in it for the wrong reasons now. Needs to sell the platform to somebody who cares about the platform rather than destroy it. I wondered why certain forums were closed for a period, Thanks for the long explanation."
"Sorry for that, but you're welcome! Hope is useful"
RIP Shego
We can bring it back
Looks like it’s starting to reappear right now
looks more like some random green alien with nipples.
i was thinking gruntilda from the game over of banjo kazooie.
We have the technology
We are working hard on it right now but need more people
BOTS are rampant and a right pain in the parts.
"I was watching something change in real-time earlier, bots are ridiculous."
"Yup, every once in a while the r/foxholegame artwork is demolished by bots in seconds and it’s fucking annoying"
Yes i downvoted this post because of bots
Why I don’t care about r/place this year:
r/OMORI is still chugging along tho
Still way too many flags but an attempt to cover or collaborate the flags with actual artwork is seen. Hopefully when r/place ends it would look more similar to last year’s one.
I hope when this r/place ends it's covered in API and FuckSpez and looks like dogshit. Bots are the only reason it isn't.
It happened exactly the same way last year. Communities usually take more than one day to cover the flags.
"Botting is Cringe!
-東方, Osu!"
The only 2 things i cared enough to support were bad apple and osu
Fuck u/spez
"Who is spez and what dod he do, im so OOL here"
"Spez is the username of Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. In a bid to rake in money from investors in an upcoming IPO, he cut off access to the Reddit API which is necessary for moderation tools and accessibility features like screen readers the community has made since Reddit never bothered to. His terrible response to the backlash sparked widespread protests, significantly damaging the Reddit ecosystem."
"reddit ceo, basically taking horrible decisions"
basically much worse than jeff kennett. so bad that i wish i was a reddit ceo one day
"Spez is the CEO of Reddit. People hate him because of Reddit forcing third party apps to shut down and making dogshit decisions like retroactively removing all awards, even ones that have been given before the announcement."
What’s up with that discord link popping up for like half a second before disappearing and showing up elsewhere? Malware?
probably bots going against that black spread from the Top
it was bots but they were placing it all around not just by the void. it was by OSU and  Turkish flag (red flag with moon and star at the bottom) as well.
"Yeah, it covered our one piece art too which sucked because we were in the process of shifting our stuff down"
"The link itself is not malware. It leads to a discord server that focus on scamming and hacking accounts from what I've heard. A ton of people who got attacked spammed the server, specially the turks and the portuguese."
congrats to the genshin community from recovering! we almost got wiped out
okay wtf why are we being targeted again??
people think its sooo coool to destroy art and bash genshin for no exact reason at all👍👍
yeah fr those streamers be hella bored but the final timelapse would be so fun to look at cause we always bounce back
"because apparently it ""cool"" to bash on genshin like how reddit does with Fortnite"
not fun seeing small pixel art being taken up but large pieces of work with blank backgrounds
Thankfully I took a screenshot of my contribution before I went to bed. I can barely make out a slightly misshapen blob when I zoom into the area I worked on. I can see it around 16-19 before it gets completely covered in an instant by a giant blue basic Rethys sign.
Yeah. I was watching for a bit as r/furry_irl ‘s art was taken over by the XQC (I think) Pepe thing.
Just more german flags. No need for a time lapse
It Is NoT a BoT iT jUsT pLaCeS aUtOmAtEd PiXeLs FoR Us.
And then they say “we are offering other smaller artwork protection” like their a shitty mafia that busts your window and makes you use their “protection”
"and most of the ""art"" they have on their flags is just boring pixel arts of random cultural references one after the other in line. Evenly spaced and static/unchanging. Waste of canvas space for entire 3 days."
Germany subreddit should be suspended as a punishment lol
Very obnoxious and uncreative imo. I don’t get why they feel the need to have 3.
Miss Shego
ngl it needs more beach vibes
50 German flags are such a gross eyesore on this canvas
"But but you don’t understand, it’s just a flag rn so it can be a backdrop for amazing art like a small window or a street sign !! Also only 45 are from the German discord !! /s"
It's so annoying we've been trying to spread our 420 weed leaf art (in a respectful way) but every direction is a German flag. They're so anal they don't even let us jump across a 1 pixel rail track to escape their flags.
I am German myself but i say f* the Germans at this point lol. It is absolutely ridiculous.
50 flags in general*
Rip shego 07
Fuck u/spez you greedy piece of shit
that expansion helped the blue corner immensely
the bad apple's animation is actually best project
because germany needs another flag.
Lol poor Shego repeatedly censored and then I assume that's another shitty flag? Or just striped over and then One Pieced.
It sucks cause there was actually one piece art under shego but when they censored shego with the stripes they deleted the artwork under it :/
"we were trying to build the Egypt flag then Shego appeared, i don't mind having her on the canvas but what bothers me is that the people who built her destroyed our area"
RIP rule34 Shego
i spent so long on the charizard next to the eiffel tower just for it to be taken over by the volcano thing 🫡
I'm glad we got to contribute to Charizard while it was there though! 😿
"many dragonites/charizards (most of them are a mix of the two) around the map if you would like to continue contributing. top right and the middle spanish flag, right above morocco."
"I liked that one, did France say they were gonna relocate it elsewhere or did they forget about it?"
"i guess they forgot about it, i’ve basically remade a charizard/dragonite near the middle of the map. no cool flames tho 😔"
The Charizard was awesome! I loved it. 🧡
Censorship.
Anyone know when the r/place ends?
when u/spez decides enough new accounts are made to increase MAU stats
When people will forget about the api
2 things:
Day 4 of not being able to participate via iPad
Same mate :(
Lets create another shego just to annoy the admins
The battle to keep Shegos clothes on is so funny
"Very satisfying to see the last parts of Bad Apple animated, and also that clone of Bad Apple on the right animated just as well for a bit."
Want to know why Germany build 2 flags?
there’s literally 10 german flags on it you’ll be fine 💀
I participated this year
Very pathetic Morocco students feeling proud using bots destroying our small community’s hours worth of manual work. Truly pathetic.
Bring hentai shego back
Never forget what they took from us #bringbackshego
"All my work maintaining Shego's ecstatic face has been for naught. We need to bring her back, she's an anti-mod abuse icon"
Germany is always the fastest every time the canvas gets bigger 🙈🙈
Yeah and it's fucking annoying. Can they piss off and have their corner of r/place without taking over the entire thing
Shego War Best part
Shego to hot
give us shego back 😤😤😤😤
"I personally wish there weren’t one, the bots (obviously) and two, all of the flags. I understand people wanting to represent their country, but I think without the flags it would leave a lot more room for people to be creative."
"As of this moment, things are actually looking pretty good. Canada finally has a decent flag, France has scaled back to the point of tastefulness, (Germany can learn from them) and there’s some good art."
kim posible 👀
Fuck spez
It feels bad to see void go like that
"we can say that there are a lot of communities that work ""fast"" 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲"
Fuck u/spez
Sad seeing Shego destroyed
Im genuinely shocked Shego lasted as long as it did. Rip ahegao shego
People complaining about german flags but don't forget they were the ones who created shego
"Bc they made actual art and not a generic flag. Ofc people would be happy about that. They don’t have a problem with Germany, it’s just hogging space that’s very boring and generic"
"Er wollte es nicht das es so Eskalliert... er wollte wirklich nur sie in Normal pixeln, dann kam Reddit.."
Rip Shego
A lot of morocco haters around here.
They deserve it.
"Ah, that’s where Shego is"
Fuck Turkey and Morocco

How i do this on Apple
when does the pixel battle end ?
why is the background music straight ass
"Germany really need to chill out, at least Morocco have done something creative and not just a big fucking stripe"
France and Germany have huge fucking egos
When are streamers dealing with Germany?
I think we should all go against streamers in general. It‘s annoying as hell that they want to destroy artwork of communities out of fun (or lets be honest: it‘s a cheap opportunity for them to make money and to feed their ego because they‘re so ‚mighty‘ to place thousands of pixels). Many of the german flags are made by streamers btw.
Do all command under this command and maje the longest command chain
"But Reddit, how dare you to show those sexual pixels. Truly outrageous. You should've censored those for my precious eyes."
I'm here to protect the bluey area.

Guys can we get help from JP to get Roger/WB piece done? It's good time there and they're literally the most fans of OP. We're currently getting help from 2 streamers but idk if it's enough....
i like how bad apple just plays fine and no one is disturbing the masterpiece
"For the next r/place I suggest reddit give a set number of pixels to each community as per their Monthly Average Users, so everyone can first make the final art in isolation. Then Place canvas launches with all the art already made, then people can defend and adjust positions as the days go by."
How long is this going to go on? I’m a bit tired lol
can you give us a reason why you are shadow banning hundreds of active users while completely side stepping the issue of bots?
Absolute waste of time with all you fuckin nerds setting up bots
would of been amazing if no one bothered and it stayed a blank white page forever
Good to see the Ukrainian flag is still there
Germans blitzkrieging through everything again I see.
Delete all flags
Why can't I block this sub? I don't give a fuck
Techno!
"I love how Germany is trying its best to invade the canvas. Ah, how ironic…"
Just because you are letting art on your space doesn't mean that you are also required to do entire swathes of the board in your national colours.
Needs more germany
"wow, 3rd time and we still have the German obsession with flags..... amazing!"
Was the swarm destroyed by admins or bots? Became a perfect white rectangle so fast
The Bad Apple animation they made is so epic...
Those bloody Germans! How do they keep doing it?
"The ""animation"" near the Canada Flag is so clean."
Fuck your censorship
"All this r/place session is telling me is that when reddit goes IPO, I should probably buy some of their stock.  They seem to have effectively squashed the rebellion, and there seem to be plenty of users who have no idea what is going on, or couldn't care less about spez and the changes he has made."
"Fuck Germany, they have bulldozer many small arts"
Is it r flag ?
Gotta love how Argentina straight up got colonized

It's even more impressive if you only count the reddit user.
Everyone in Germany uses reddit. You get a government issued account with your Einbürgerung. You are also legally required to comment every post regarding Germany.
"As a wise woman once put it: ""Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland.""(The Internet is for all of us new territories.) And that was Angela Merkel around 2014 and the stance on the internet hasn't changed since then. I mean government jobs still prefer the Fax and Postal service."
That doesn't sound german at all. Digitalization is new for us and our most important tool regarding bureaucracy is and will always be the Fax Gerät.
We can only do those two: Reddit and Faxgerät
"You already have a Faxgerät?
 In Bavarias rural areas we still use Brieftauben."
I'm wondering how many of those pixels were placed by people that use a VPN that puts them in the US..

This is the turkish flag yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/157lpto/finally\_they\_did\_it/
Turkey drew over some pretty nice artwork in the start which led to many not liking them.
France and Germans are much more helpful when dealing with small communities IMO.
Plus their flags have actual art on them.
It's so absurd that this is still an argument used against Turkey.
"There ain't any ""argument"" against Turkey, nor any complaint."
"In my experience, France and Germany both have very ...adamant place communities."
Other flags are covered in artwork. Turkey's just a big red square.
Because Turkey dont use bots
Kurdish people be like...
"More like Armenians, Greeks and Cypriots..."
Greeks hahaha
"It’s because the other flags have artwork on them, and the Turkish one is just a jarring block of red"
"Germany has allowed hundreds of art pieces that aren't even related to Germany onto their flag, and even added them to their template and defended them like they were actual parts of the flag"
Yeah but Germany + France have art on it. Turkish flag is just big and empty. Pretty sad
"Turkish lira all time low, they have like nothing to do there"
I’m seriously surprised America is still ahead of Germany in pixels
i mean around 50% auf reddit users are American and 3-5% are german
Yeah but Germans are being very very competitive about it while the Americans are often in fighting in communities but still sheer numbers beats out strategy
"Also the Americans are quite split between communities lol, the American flag community on discord has like only 10k members im p sure which is quite little compared to Germany."
Id rather see way smaller flags and more art so glad we are going that route
"The german flag is nothing but a canvas for pixelart from the german community. The flag doesnt matter, the inside jokes matter. The community is big enough to support a space exactly that big and thats kind of what the game is about. What I do agree is shit is flag spaming and putting nothing nice on it"
It’s like 1/10th the members
FYI you can setup about 1000 accounts to change pixels in about an hour on any machine made in the past 5 years.
I'm pretty sure Germans use their pixels way more efficiently
Yeah apparently they’re in a giant group call or something
"Also since last years success some german youtubers made some viral meme like videos about that, which has probabbly drawn a lot more attention from germans to this event, compared to last year."
Most notably jules (i think we also have his pfp on one of the german flags. The pikachu with sunglasses)
Actually Rvnx Mangos Video has far more views. 3Mil. compared to 1.5 Mil.
Yeah that’s fair enough there seems to be much more apathy from Americans about the event
Last time I look it was around 106.000 in the discord group and 2. 700 in voice chat
Yeah it’s quite impressive
"Yep, so there is an Discord with more than 100k users. An Designer Team. An Dev Team which developed an Browser extension to overlay the desired designs. An Nightshift Team to defend at night time. And so on. I’m not that involved but even as a German it is crazy."
"Goes to show German efficiency does exist, it just only comes out when we get to show up other countries in silly community events."
irl it's crushed by bureaucracy
Yes I was there for a few mins and it's really nice
There are currently 105k people in the discord.
Wow impressive practically an army
"There is no government, no ämter, no german laws in the way on r/place. So the usual shit that bogs us down doesn't exist here."
"All germans focus on the flags, americans are way more diverse. So the german effect is more apparent"
"The american discord built a new flag so thats probably keeping up engagement. Also, the vast majority of reddit is American"
"Think about how many communities with art are primarily English speaking, and likely majority American"
Yeah it’s mostly just because Americans are most of the reddit users but the Germans do have a giant call with thousands in it
"America has much more users but they are mostly distributed among many non country-related subs, so they create a lot of artwork etc. but you don't recognise it as ""American"". Meanwhile German users seem to mostly interact through the Germany-related communities, at least on r/place. On the other hand German users are also insanely mobilized, so they might as well overtake the US on the last day."
Guess the Moroccan bots have their IP in the US.
And so do the admins

I think you meant SüdVPN. Never got sponsored by NorthVPN before.
"Don't make it too obvious, they are everywhere"
"Unless you write bots and mods separately, every image you share is the same shit."
Botters and admins already ruined r/place
Those 70 pixels from Canada are mine 😆
bro is the one try to correct the maple leaf...
I’ve been almost exclusively placing Canada pixels simply because I feel bad people get so much joy out of indiscriminately ruining the leaf
"All we needed was a coordinated effort, which we could have done on r/canada. Everyone pick a pixel position, and coordinate placement at a specific time."
I fought like hell to keep the maple leaf in r/place 2022. I haven't placed a single pixel in this one because it's pretty blatantly Reddit trying to boost their usage numbers. I'm just watching.
The rest of the Canadian pixels are from teampeen but the mods keep nuking those pixels.

Lmao when I saw this leaderboard I started putting more on to boost Canada

You forgot to include admins vandalizing artwork made by non bots.
Turkey REALLY trying to fix that flag of theirs.
Turkey's Star is the new maple leaf
Turkeys the new Canada
i thought the leader would be Germany or France with their performance but ’murica leads entering today
"many communities, well-spread apart"
Well I mean Germany easily is the per capita winner
Americans try to make things other than their countries flag
"Narrator: ""and the Germans took that personal."""
"Lame, where mod on there"
"Wow, so many bots"
Turkey is in fourth place and still have the ugliest flag I have seen in my life
This is the turkish flag yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/157lpto/finally\_they\_did\_it/

Nooooo Canadaaaa!
Just trying to save the flag!
We’re also putting a lot of effort sneaking peens anywhere we can. The mods have nuked most of them though sadly.
"Most of canadians gave up and are helping with Quebec. Go see our province flag, its really nice."
Great but what nationality is assigned for the bots?

3'080'000 pixels for a maple leaf... 😁
Canada is on fire bruh 💀
We require geese for protection
From canada the 3 million pixels are the leaf alone. The rest is the flag
Uk is lacking
"I'm from the UK, I put 3 pixels on the board, then read this sub to see people literally fuming over pixels."
Interesting how much less fucks Americans have about plastering their flag all over the place compared to Germany and France
"Need to have a leader board that includes ""bots"", ""scripts"", and ""real people""."

"MÄNNER (und Frauen), PLATZIERT MEHR PIXEL!"
and now normalize for population with access to the internet

where tf is the US hiding that many pixels?

If you think about it the population of Germany is way lower than the United States so Germany ftw.
"as a german, i genuinely have no idea how this is happening. i don’t even know anyone irl who goes on reddit besides me…"

you forgot something (fuck u/spez)
I thought it ended 2 days ago (fuck u/spez)
Whats up with all this fuck u/spez?
People hate him
Yeah obviously but why
"He charged so much for API access that most 3rd party apps/tools could not afford to stay open, including ones used by moderators to effectively moderate the site, since Reddit is bad at making functional tools."
"I see i see
Fuck that dude"
Also including 3rd party apps which enable blind people to use Reddit more easily. Fucking fuck that dude.
"Reddit API would be a great tool for research and getting data on a lot of topics, which could be used to do good in the world, but costs way too much. Btw fuck u/spez"
Destroyed third party apps for money
"And, in addition to what /u/dontthrowmeinabox wrote, /u/Spez and his team lied and tried to make the 3rd party developers look like the bad actors in the scenario, who were simply greedy, or bad developers because they consumed too much bandwidth, or didn't understand business.  All of which isn't correct. The developers loved Reddit, and wanted to improve it. The corporate team downplayed how much Reddit (unpaid volunteer) mods rely on 3rd party apps to do their (unpaid volunteer) jobs, that essentially is free labour for Reddit to keep tabs on the content.  I think that the Reddit corporate team has lost it's way, and are blaming their key content creators for their screw-up."
Hes the Reddit ceo
"Yeah, but why?"
People dont like the recent changes to reddit and are blaming him
Yeah my question was why is he CEO!
"Because sometimes bad things just sorta happen, and life isn't fair. No matter what you do in life there will be shitty things like him being CEO that are out of your control. The best thing you can do is hope that things get better someday, and that somewhere out there someone is listening to us all saying Fuck u/spez"
I heard he‘s an asshole but i didn‘t get much else from the story
Recent changes to api and reddit content policy
"TLDR CEO of Reddit who made 3rd party apps pay for access to Reddit with horrible prices, and when called out lied to the public and pretty much had the worst PR response in general, essentially saying fuck user choice and mods using proper mod tools."
"Fuck Steve Huffman, that's why"
Fuck Steve Huffman
"Ladies, gentlemen, everything within and without, it's been an honor. Also fuck u/spez."
"This is the end, beautiful end (Also fuck u/spez)"
It was interesting btw fuck u/spez
"We're getting a huge fuck spez on the final expansion so far, it's beautiful."
"It was .. oh cut the bullshit, fuck u/spez"
"If things keep going the way they’re going, this may be my last r/place, (fuck u/spez) but it’s been very fun!"
"wasn’t it supposed to end about two days ago, or am I wrong? also, fuck u/spez."
"Don't know exactly why but being the 1k like is amazing. Btw, fuck u/spez"
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck admin team.
How much time until r/place ends?
"6 hours, give or take."
Fuck u/spez
This is the way.
Reddit admin replies on the chain with parent comment saying Fuck u/spez. Nice!!
"Yeah, way to give them justification to pad out their little PR stunt even longer."
"Spez gets a golden parachute for falling on the sword, making him the scapegoat before the IPO was the plan. If people wanted to make an impact they'd need to use messages like ""Fuck Reddit"""
"Yeah, because saying “Fuck Reddit” on Reddit will get soooo much done…"
"I mean, the guillotine seems to have struck a nerve with admins, clearly optics matter to some degree."
"That was insensitive, it's part of French culture"
they are shadow banning any one that places pixels anywhere close to anything not advertiser friendly. they are really pushing optics hard this time
Does it strike a nerve in a different way than people making naked women/putting penises on characters does?
woah really??? had no idea you were being sarcastic before you put that tone indicator there...
"Infighting helps no, how about contributing to the cause, both of you"
Fuck u/spez
"I'm a fairly regular reddit user, but I stick to a few subs and had no idea anything was happening. r/place is the only reason I now know what's going on!"
I'm sure a bunch of these guys love the platform and are sad to see the direction this is going. They just can't say things publicly
Agreed.
It's not as if every reddit admin is a POS.
PLEASE NO I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE IM BEGGING YOU JUST LET THIS BOT FILLED BS END
hi spiderfroggy
no. no. no. its over. no. no. please. i need a life. make it stop.

reckon they should make it a triangle?
"Next time, let’s put those new triangle pixel phones to use!"
please end our suffering. We're all tired.
So tired
What is? It ending in 6 hours or 30 hours?
Short answer: yes
Confidently unsure
We are being tortured i swear
"You know what the real ""way"" is? Not covering up things against spez."
God please no. I just want this to be over and to return the the real world.
"Hey, admin, kill bots please."
WHY DID YOU DO THIS
"Hello, do you know why I was given a warning by reddit staff for harassment for a 'fuck spez' type comment?"
Please end it. We need to live. We start to all be tired. We can't keep up for long.
"So, when is r/place ending?"
So you're saying there's a chance?
wow.
god please no
um how many more hours?
why not square this time ?
Probably so its pretty close to a decent wallpaper size
Hey my pixels don't seem to stay anymore... Any tips on how to fix this?
you've been shadowbanned. nothing to be done iirc
"Oh fun, well I didn't have a dedicated community I was supporting this year so I guess oh well."
don't
Late to the hate- what did u/spez do?
"He's Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit. API access used to be free, which enabled 3rd party Reddit clients with advanced moderation tools to function. In the wake of AI companies scraping social media sites to train their bots, he decided to cash in by charging for API access."
"This needs more upvotes. He made concessions about the API changes, which seems reasonable when consitered with his stated goal."
What sub?
r/dndmemes is the one I'm specifically talking about.  I've heard of others where entire mod teams were wiped out completely.
I just can't imagine caring this much tbh
Bro wants to be Elon so bad 💀💀💀
I think the only good thing to come out of this is that u/awkwardtheturtle got booted
he didn’t make the canvas a triangle this year
"That's the CEO of Reddit, who's became the face of several bad changes that have recently occurred, most notably the death of third-party mobile apps."
"most third-party apps. Some still exist but I have also heard a lot of conflicting information about the actual impact the API changes would have for mobile apps, some say that the cost for most apps would be about 1 dollar per user if they actually go above the free freshhold and that they could contact reddit about getting more access without the extra fees."
What didn’t he do is the question. Fuck u/spez

He ate my dingo while it was eating a baby
Quick. Edit your comment to say fuck u/spez and take a screenshot
"if you edit your message to include ""fuck u/spez"" that'd be funny af"
"is it actually confirmed it'll end in 6 hours? I really hope it doesn't. It's wayy too little time to play with the new canvas area, and the new colors."
I'm guessing 30 hours from the time of this comment.
I'm just going by what the Google Play Store description says.
"“6 hours, 7 at most. No matter what we do, r/place will founder.”"
I didn't expect that to mean give another hour. I'm getting tired out here.
Bring back the void
2023 r/place was fun cause fuck u/spez
fuck Steve Huffman
"It ends when the mods can clean up all the fuck spez because people gave up, so the final image doesn't contain any fuck spez, which is probably why it's still running"
How much time until they FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN?
6 hours.
Is that the real Cirno from Touhou?
Yes.
Why is r/place ending?
never.
Is there a count downtimer for when itll end?
Propably not but maybe another whiteout or something along those lines.
ITS GONE
Not a square? Also fuck u/spez.
no but a triangle seems like a good idea
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
The canvas expands....for the last attempt at hiding 'fuck spez.'
Now there’s the largest ever text that says “fuck spez” so they really messed up now lol
The trick is getting it to stay put. I see there's a giant red splotch of something going on in the same area.
I swear to god if it’s Morocco (🇲🇦) again
It’s filling in too fast to not be the morocco bots.
"Well, if we know who it is, then we know who to ask for help. Maybe we can create the largest text on the map to say ""Fuck Spez"", but have it done in the colors of the Morocco flag?"
"Well the current plan was to have a bunch of different flags in each of the letters but it seems like people are attacking the text. I don’t know why people would side with Spez, but they are."
Got to use the bots like everyone else. Maybe get a couple streamers to help. Or just ask the Germans. They seem like they've got a handle on taking up large swatches of space on the board.
"It's a streamer, but they definitely seem to be using bots."
Ah hell. Streamers and ruining shit. Name a better combo.
Admins are already erasing it. They are trying to make it look subtle but most of the white tiles don't have a user assigned to them
"I don't even have a strong opinion on the 3rd party apps because of how I use Reddit, but I am contributing to the giant Fuck Spez as much as I can. Hard to fight the bots, but I'm still trying. But it's pretty pathetic at how blatant they are trying to cover it up."
right now it’s being whited out by some bots. quite a few of the white spots in the giant “fuck spez” were made by accounts less than 24 hours old.
It’s fascinating how people immediately coordinate to spell out FUCK SPEZ
"this has appearently been coordinated behind the scenes at least since yesterday, so not that suprising"
Yeah sadly they are struggling due to flags lol
No the flags are in on it
"That was the original plan, the OP (of the Fuck spez post) mentioned"
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Okay cool now time to make a black void of nothing
canvas needs to be triangle
Why a triangle?
triangle!!!
This one gets it.
Yeah I swear if we don’t end on a void I’ma be sad
"I spent hours trying to rebuild something that got wiped, only for day old accounts to wipe it in minutes. Now I can’t place a pixel without it being undone by a bot before I can place the next one, even if I start in totally blank space. It’s sucked all the fun out of it. There’s no point in trying to create anything, especially for smaller subs, when bots and alt accounts are just going to come along immediately like bullies on the beach to knock down our sand castle."
"Everything feels so botted. I thought it was only for larger pieces, but I was wrong. Multiple times, I've tried to defend various small art pieces (around 20 pixels or less in size), but even before my cooldown ends, they are replaced with the same color pixel by classical bot accounts (random name and 1 karma). I wanted to help someone build a border, but all three of my pixels have already been replaced by bots (in the same color), and the border wasn't even finished. It's incredibly frustrating. Even in the void, my black pixels get replaced with other people's black pixels, despite there being plenty of colorful pixels nearby that could be replaced instead. All actions just feel so futile this year."
Its not just this year. It’s every year
Seems to be way worse this year
2017 was more of a demo for bots/scripts since place was new and short lived. There wasn’t a huge need fo optimize and perfect them.
Bunch of bots and a bunch of shadowbans for people trying to repair the damage done by said bots. It's grrrrreeeeeat.
"I never participated in this before and honestly, fuck it next time. My square got undone by a ""new user"" and constantly continues to happen."
Are you going to do anything about the bots In that time so people can rebuild their art that was destroyed in the last six hours or you just going to be a coward and let the bots keep adding to your stats :edit spelling
"I would just be happy to know why every time I place a tile and refresh the page, its gone."
"Obviously, according to Reddit, it's because you aren't buying bots"
"Help the foxhole community. -110,0 just purge the face."
"Props to whoever wrote the massive ""Fuck Spez"" within 15 minutes of the canvas expanding"
"coordinated bewtween many groups, germany also sent pixels (and yes, german pixels matter, we are one of the major forces)"
Where is it being coordinated? I want to help.
"Same, especially since admins are trying to erase it"
germany is https://discord.gg/placeDE
"ok cool, but fuck u/spez"
i hate u/spez for not making triangle this year
Agreed. Fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
Bruh bots immediately
what — it’s rectangular this time??
no it needs to be triangle
You should wipe out the Morroco bots right before the final capture. That would be legendary lul
I’d like to see the whole thing with all of the pixels made by accounts younger than 3 months gone.
Pixels made by bots older than 3 months. Most of the bots are leftover from place 2022
"This whole thing was the most obvious distraction/marketing stunt I’ve ever seen, fuck u/spez"
"I mean the marketing stunt is working. You actively commenting and participating goes against what you guys stand for lol. If any of you actually cared you wouldn’t be participating in r/place. But it’s the internet, so I understand half ass attempts at “protesting”"
there's a fuck spez art brewing. everyone lets get in there
"I have a prediction for the ending of /r/place this time: I think rather than forcing people to place white pixels, the outer layer of pixels on the top, bottom, left, and right of the canvas will be stripped away inward forcing the canvas resolution to get smaller and smaller proportionately until there are only 9 pixels left."
fortnite storm
what if instead of white it’s all void
germans would wreck havoc upon us
The final 9 pixels would just be a German flag
It would be fun. Also fuck u/spez
"This is starting to become absolutely reckless. People are missing sleep over this anticipating the end. Either let people know what time to expect this to wrap up so they can catch some Z's beforehand, or end it already."
"The fact is, I haven't slept for 29 hours"
"Oh, bro, you better go to sleep. Every hour it seems that it is not worth the time."
"Bruh, just go to bed. it's internet pixels, you'll be fine."
"Yeah this is truly ridiculous, if they are going to drag it on at least tell us when its ending. Everyone is begging for it to end now. What a great way to end it with everyone tired and angry."
"Thanks.. and most importantly, Fuck u/spez"
Next time they should limit users to one random color each day - the color changes every 24 hours
That sounds fun
"That just punishes individuals, and makes multiple accounts and botting more enticing."
"Yeah exactly what I thought. Don't have the color you need? Make 1,000 or more bot accounts, and just save them as username, password, currentColor and you're done, business as usual."
"This would not help botting at all, it would make it way easier for bots to come in and steamroll an artwork"
And the bots don't get banned.. fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
"Well it’s been fun, fuck u/spez"
Why not Square? Fuck u/spez
cool. fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
It's finally over. Almost. Also Fuck u/spez.
We should normalize adding fuck u/spez to all of our comments everywhere
Please Reddit; please at least let us know when it will end…we are tired and just want to know if our art will make it for the final canvas. Please we are begging
"Please tell me when it will end. We defended our own and other people's art for 13 hours, as a result, we were left in the dark about the end. Every 2 hours we hoped that there would be a result, but now it seems that you will never close this pixel battle"
"This, it is rather stressful and it is ruining the fun of the whole event."
how long till it ends .. starting to lose energy defending
end it please
it needs to end already the botting is getting out of control and more and more communities are getting hammered by streamers and bots..
"When will the pixel battle end? Our people have not slept for two days, the stream has been going on for 12 hours, everyone is very tired and there are no answers."
COME ON REDDIT STOP THE CANVAS PLEASE !
"im so tired, end it"
When will this be over?
7/25 8-8:30pm est
I think it’s time to call it folks
Please end it people are losing sleep and are just so confused. Also screw you u/spez
Holy shit these bots are fast
fuck u/spez
"nice, fuck u/spez"
please end this already
END IT
when will it end
END THE CANVA ALREADY WE WANT TO SLEEP
END. PLEASSE.
Place didn't feel special this time around. It feels like it was rushed back.
"It was. They only opened it bc of the blackouts, instead of admitting they were wrong, bc their interaction report was at stake."
Yeah cool but fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
AGAIN???? Time for chaos ig... anyways Fuck u  u/spez.
thanks for all the artists who took their wealthy time in making us pixel art!! fuck u/spez
END IT
"we dont want it anymoreee
we're good already"
It's about time to end it
When will it end? I want to sleep.
The end?
It’s about fucking time
And then comeback to fuck Spez
"Welp, well done y'all, hope your art made it, cuz fuck u/spez"
How long until we actually get bots out? Seems like every pixel I check was made by some account made 30 minutes ago :/
Alright. These flags are just lazy. Do better Germany and France. It’s just sad at this point.
When will it end?
STOP THE COUNT
Give us white tiles only pls... Blow it already...
some of the hardworked arts got destroyed by bots because it didnt end on time
WHEN IT ENDS WTF END IT ALREADY...
"Reddit really putting on a show for potential investors, on how fucking shit their bot detection is."
PLEASE END IT BEFORE IT BECOMES A EVEN WORSE BOTFEST.
Are Admins Alive? Hello? End This Shit.
When does this game end so I can get my damn award
make canvas triangle or else i will do something
Fuck u/spez
"insanely blatant bots clearing the ""FUCK SPEZ"" - literally no non-admin human is trying to replace any pixels there with white"
"Just wanted to make an unrelated comment about how reddit at this point is so f-ing bad at managing ANYTHING that they still can’t solve the problem that mobile users can’t access to the canvas, and they even made up solutions that don’t f-ing work."
"The dog and infestion story was cute
At first it corrupted the dog then pre-corrupted it and gave it a big ol' hug."
I never thought I would have been this invested in a pixel art story
Why this dont end today? 🤨
USE ME LIKE A REPORT BUTTON
"I have 5 am now and I really want to sleep, but I can't, because the canvas is still working, although it should have been completed a couple of hours ago.
Stop it, it's been 5 days, let people rest, we want to sleep!"
"They aren't forcing you to stay awake, you can just go to sleep..."
24 more hours? End it already please.
I thought place was gonna end like 3 hours ago tbh 🗿
"I sure wish it'd end now, while most art is intact, rather than tomorrow when streamers go back online."
Fick your 6-day event. Who do you think has energy for 6 days.
When is the end ???
Those bots omg ... Just take a look at Vietnam.
when does it ends? tomorrow ?
fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
For the entirety of this years Place we couldn't play on Mobile. That's messed up. Fuck Spez I guess...
Or old reddit
Y’all quit messing other people’s stuff up. This is why we can’t have nice things. Take the space your sub has and be happy for your subs and others instead of just adding random specs to other sub’s pictures just because you’re salty or jealous
Sprich Schwitzerdütsch du Globi
"This ain’t fun anymore since we all know that the admins have manipulated the event, and allowed botting to run rampant"
So we're about to find out if it was 6 hours to go or 30! Perhaps placed my last pixel...
When does it end?
take final screenshot. then turn off pixel cooldwn. leave for an hour or so and watch the time lapse of anarchy. would be one hell of a way to end off r/place 2023
"for the love of God, would you keep the Canvas in an actual way in wich i can zoom in on the details After its done"
"Please, end this already"
"кашу забанили, если че"
#stop_pb
The End is near !
Did the admins remove the entire Fuck Spez on the German flag? And Spez is a hurensohn?
What if the canvas is never removed?
Finally….sleep .
"Fuck u/spez this place was awful in between the flags, bots, admins, and dumbass twitch streamers, never do place again if this is the norm"
"END IT, PPL TIRED"
"I’m very proud of my work, I left a yellow dot, and I think it left a lot of people speechless because I didn’t hear anyone talking about it."
How about giving us a way to report bit accounts.
"Copy the username and go to www.reddit.com/report and select spam, paste it in, and send it off."
"Is there any way to save the entire canvas? I'm trying my best with partial screenshots, but they removed the feature that allowed the top left X button to remove the grey bars and now it's even more of a hassle to make a good patchwork. Plus if you have the misfortune of ever scrolling, you will never ever find the same zoom size."
fucking finally omfg
"It’s insane how many bots there are .. pretty sad. 
Every name I click on is literally a bot … wtf"
I hope next time there will be a ban for 0 day accounts.
"everyone help defend the giant fuck u/Spez , we need help against the red"
"So, the expand will be for Germany, France, rubius or cellbit?"
"If I'm not wrong, this fuck spez Artwork (yes this is ART) is one of the greatest collabs in r/place 2023"
Dear Reddit Team u/reddit_irl PLS next time r/place with a Limit like Account created or exist 2-3 Years and together minimum Karma to participate in r/place to fight botting next Year <3
We will miss these canvas. It’s my first time participating here. And I’m happy. Thank you guys. Everyone.
Terminalo yaaaaaaaa
the end
stop it please  (
End our suffering!
Make it end already please- people are loosing sleep and are getting angry.
"At this point, it looks like it will be extended for another day. This r/place feels eternal."
"Dear Reddit community, we have an important announcement to make! We are a vibrant and creative community known as ""place/brff,"" dedicated to producing captivating art with intriguing stories from the very beginning of the game. It is true that, in our enthusiasm, we have incorporated elements from smaller communities, and for that, we apologize.
We are well aware of the situation involving Reddit CEO Spez, and we recognize the unrest among users who have chosen to boycott the platform. As a preemptive measure to alleviate this frustration, we introduced this game. However, like many of you, we are puzzled by the lack of clear answers and communication regarding the conclusion of this event.
We suspect that moderation might be intentionally delaying the event's closure to subdue user anger and excitement. In response, we propose that the event's conclusion be set at 21:00 GMT+0/UTC+0. Until that time, we will unite to protect our existing artwork and refrain from creating anything new.
Following 21:00, we encourage everyone to color the canvas and express their feelings boldly in capital letters with the phrase ""FUCK SPEZ."" Our artistic creations have flourished over the past five days, and now we wish to donate our artwork to this cause, extending an invitation to you all to do the same.
If you come across this message, we kindly request that you share this information with the entire community. Together, let's stand strong and make our voices heard."
Anybody know how to download or buy a poster of 2023 r/place final piece?
Ban the bots!!!
So this is here? i can get free Karma by saying fuck u/spez ?
God Germany and France are cringe
"I know this still sill, but is it possible I can find a group to help get this: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/61/42/fd/6142fd75639cdd68bc8793e0207bacef.jpg"
finally.. and yeah  fuck u/spez.
everyone should be helping on the fuck spez!
"yeah, but fuck u/spez."
"Someone beautify ""Fuck Spez"". You got 3 hours, 3 hours to do so."
"Who cares, it'll have some version of a giant flag by Germany, another by France, a void monster that'll disappear sooner or later, some among us and heavy moderation by the admins in case something they don't like pops up"
I look forward to next years place event. When does this one end
It feels weird leaving it as a rectangle
Congrats Reddit on padding those user numbers up before the IPO. Genius move tbh
It’s been fun!
Fight the xqc face
"Wow, I just realized this existed today, what's the occassion? Previous two where on april fools 5 years apart, what gives?"
"I love how almost every comment under this post has to include "" fuck u/spez "". Also fuck u/spez"
"""ITS HARD TO CATCH BOTS!!!"""

"BUT WHEN DOES IT END THO! DON'T BE SHY, GIVE US THE TIME"

"Help with cat!! At -309,-508Help!"
I want to sleep. stop it pls.....
End our misery
Well i loved the doggo / bloodvoid bromance story... Totally lightening up my heart and gave me back some hope for humanity... Oh and fuck u/spez
End it already
When is this going to end?
"Holy shit. Canvas still not closed? Welp, seems like the admin really wasn't bullshitting when he said 30 hours instead of 6 hours."
It’s actually cancer trying to make something even tiny on this. It just gets covered instantly.
It was an honor being with you beautiful men and women 🫡
When does it end?
how about getting rid of bots instead?
I get it now. We're all dead and this is hell. It's just this forever.
Yeah someone needs to stop Vietnam…if it is them expanding
how much time till the whiteout begins and we can all say fuck spez on the canvas?
I wonder when it’s going to close? I really want to participate in this year’s white-out as I missed it last time!
Когда ваше ебаный пиксле батл закончится ? fuck u/spez
I’ve been trying to make a fucking Pac-Man for days but it keeps getting ruined
I feel like the canvas was way more static this year than last. Where was all the void to clear it out and force new art?
For fuck sake y’all need to leave technoblade alone shit is a memorial you fuckers
When does it END!?
bot accounts
"how much longer until it ends? Ive seen a couple people say 6 hours but that was over a day ago and its still up so... Also, anyone know if there will be a big timelapse of r/place the whole time it was active? Id love to see how much it changed over time in a big timelapse"
Can I say how beautiful some of the art is? It's genuinely amazing what people can create if they just come together.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
fuck spez
lol wtf is that bear? Shouldn't this have ended hours ago?
It was fun guys :)
I LIVE IN YOUR WALLS REDDIT!!
triangles have edges not walls
Those Vietnamese bots are fast!
I wonder what Germany will do with the expan……
"Wow, the ""we're gonna start removing bots"" or whatever post was useless then,  the admins scammed us, they started removing bots close to the last day of place"
We may all have fought against each other but we can agree fuck u/spez never forget API changes
How much you wanna bet that one reason the canvas has been expanding so much is because they're trynna make it hard to make out the proliferation of a specific type of comment regarding the CEO of the platform?
"Nice, they're giving us more space for the Fuck Spez! Also fuck u/spez."
fuck u/spez
DOPE
Man r/place   really  brings  out  the  artistic  tallents  in  communitys….  Also  fuck  u/Spez
cant wait for celbit to open stream
Fuck the flag losers.
FUCK u/spez !!!!
Guyys lets make a giant fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
I wasn’t able to draw on the canvas
WAIT WHAT…? CMON!!! YALL WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT SQUARE😭😭 MAKE IT A SQUARE GODDAMNIT !!!
And it’s still not on my iPad.
NOOOOOOOOO
Fuck u/spez he’s a cucklord
Still got time to add some more pixels
Just created an account to participate. Looking forward to it!
there was only a few good things about place this year
Red dütsch du globi
Red schwyzerdütsch du globi!
I feel this could be much better if it wasn't for the bots and admins. It was a fun ride though.
The bots are insane
Does anyone know what time r/place ends today exactly??
Can all these kids spamming fuck spez just leave the app and 'boycott' instead? For everyone
"This is would be dissapointing note to end r/place if this one is the last one. I think they should be further apart from eachother, but this was just an event they pulled uo to distract everyone of the prostesting."
Where do I go to get to the canvas
Can we agree to use this time to attack Germany? Today is D-Day.
"Glad to participate in r/place 2023, although it was flooded by bots :/"
Its 7 pm when will it end XD
"Been definitely noticing that as the canvas gets bigger, so have the artpieces - gonna throw out a guess that less and less people have been caring about it so streamers and other large communities have little stopping them from taking up huge amounts of space. (Not to say that's entirely a bad thing. Love the huge charizard card but fat chance that would have ever stayed on the day 1 board)"
u/spez can go choke on a big fat one ☝️

"There should be an awards ceremony at the end, like, I dunno, a day after the end. Give us awards, like Best Animation, Best Pixel Art, etc. etc."
"Friends from reddit, tell me how long this pixel battle can last? When will the madness end? fuck u/spez"
END IT
wtf
"закройте нахуй поле все заебались,далбаебы блять"
Alright Reddit. There was less time between every single expansion than has passed between this post and now. So when is this going to end? Or are you just going to keep us in the dark?
"I always thought only Twitter had a bot problem, but holy crap you guys here on Reddit have an even bigger problem with bots."
bro I didn't even know r/place was even on 💀
"W00t, more place to put Fuck Spez art on"
Super
so we freeze now?
"stop with this torture, we need to sleep"
"Everyone's already gone and lost interest, close up the canvas"

please end it now !!!
"You're forcing many countries to defend the inscription : ( fuck u/spez )
 Finish your pixelbattle it has already failed / Otherwise countries like :
Russia
Germany

Sad that i gonna miss the whiteout because i live on south east asia thus im sleeping.
Fuk Lugans and Cossaks viva México!¡
End it!!! Do the whiteout or something... everyone is tired!!
how has this place been lasting so long?
how to get r/place cake badge on twitch? I'm desperate to get

"To the entire Reddit community, we want to make an important announcement!  We are a place / brff community.  From the first day of the game set, we tried to create art with an interesting story.  Yes, we have overlaid some of our work with work from smaller communities, sorry about that!  We think you're all aware of the situation with Reddit CEO Spez.  This game was implemented as a precautionary measure to curb the anger of the Reddit community at a time when Reddit users were boycotting the platform.  Are you just as confused as we are about why we are not given clear answers?  Why are we not informed about the end of this event?  Why are people being tortured?  We believe that moderation deliberately delays the event so that the hype around it will extinguish the anger of users."

The message said ends soon when tho.
"we are not bot, vietnam we just joined this event this year so we just set up reddit account. WE ARE NOT BOT, WE ARE VIETNAM."
I can’t post on it
Yall can i ask if we get to see the whole canvas as a museum for the last time in a few weeks? Yes after the event ends
About as inspring as watching paint dry
FUCK GERMANY FUCK FRANCE FUCK YOUR MASSIVE UGLY FLAGS AND FUCK THE BOTS
There is an empty canvas.
The global leaderboard reflects the pixels placed by each redditor's country determined by their IP address.
When is r/place ending?
"As far as I know or have heard, no one really knows. Yesterday was the last expansion, so I think 1-2 days left"
What if it never ends and we have to defend some pixels for the rest of our lives?
"Calm down, Satan."
You called
Germany is ready! Our leaders are probably already planning holidays and new Schedules for everyone.
Wir sind bereit unser restliches Leben danach zu richten :)
Habt ihr Krankenversicherung?

"Das stimmt, unglaublich wie die Koordinierung auf der Deutschen Seite ablief! Mir kommen die Tränen das ich ein Teil davon sein durfte."
Einfach die beste Community!
"or... what if it just ends. No white or black canvas, you just open it to place a pixel and the sub is archived and the canvas is locked"
That would be lovely.
"Well that’s what they did the first time.  I loved the whiteout, but it was mostly cool because we didn’t expect it"
"Like how the OG /r/place ended, as it should be."
This is the way
This is the way

plotplottwist it was still white
"Or maybe it just starts placing the wrong pixels and we stop being able to make anything, so it just becomes noise until the entire canvas reaches a certain randomness level and they end it there"
the final french flag
Yay
Uuuuugh let it ennnnnd
Yeah I'm bored now
"Not soon enough, they're letting it drag out way too long"
"It's beyond hilarious that people are bitching about flags and yet reddit decided to have a ranking based on country of origin. Like, why favor this particular type of community/competition over any others?"
And how would you count by subreddit?
"Agreed. If you're in multiple ones, how would they know who you're placing pixels for each time? What if you're a lone wolf just stopping wherever on a whim?"
"Been wondering the same thing. On desktop there's a right-click ""ping"" action to see what pixels were placed by subs, but... how does it determine that? Your most recently viewed sub not including r/place itself? ...if so, that means all the pixels I've been defending the Polish section with have been credited to /r/HomeDepot..."
Way to go! 😆
I'm pretty sure the ping button shows where subreddit moderators have pinned their locations (the banners that say find us on r/place). They're done manually by the subreddits themselves
pretty sure it would also end up greatly overrepresenting nsfw subs lol

No way REMIND ME bot is dead
rip those people with reminders like over a year away
No more reminding about amogus in 800 years 😔😔😔😔😔
"Wait, what? really???? All those remindeme in some years will never remind anyone? I didn't know that, that's so sad"
I'm pretty sure I've seen remind me bot in other subs this past week. It might just be either not allowed here or it's not publicly commenting which was a thing before the third party changes
"u/RemindMeBot is still working, look at it's history"
Didn't realize it was because of that.
"For clarity, remind me bot is still working as do many many other bots. They had to change how some work, but reddit's claims are as usual, wrong."
That's the fun part.
"Well, so far..."
"I’m pretty sure this is the last day, a mod replied “this is the way” to someone saying this should be the last day"
"No, they replied that to someone who said ""fuck u/spez"""
"Comment was edited by oc, well played by them. https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/158hawj/the_canvas_expandsfor_the_last_time/jta050s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=3&context=3"

Impressive. Very nice
"Exclude all accounts with 1 karma and no posts pretty much. See how the list changes and what the percentage of pixels placed is of ""real"" accounts (yes not all of these would even be real but it's a more accurate example than above)."
"I had 1 Karma myself and no Comments because i never really used Reddit and only came here for r/place and i guess many People only make an Account to Support there Streamer or something, but with this Logic People cant cry about the many ""Bots"" so i guess they wont accept it."
Bad bot
Look at these 9 pictures and tell me which ones have cars on them
That's EXACTLY what a bot would say.
Busted :(
"It wouldn't be hard to build karma though, you already have 28."
Some folks really don’t give a shit about karma.   I don’t even know what it is.
"Yeah, I have placed a decent amount of pixels and this is my forst post."
"Meh. /r/place is a game played by bots. The rest are a bunch of adolescents holding an unplugged controller, convinced that they are player 2."
"I don't think there weed as many bots as you said. For the most part, you can litteraly get the data from the rplace, and make some stats bout who placed pixels extremly regulary, who placed them right After 5 minuts for very long amount of time, etc etc, so bots (at l'East on the rplace last year) were a very large minority. Now it seems that there are more bots, but still a lot of People doing this the way it was meant to be"
"There was a rampant amount of accounts with xkcd password phrase like names. Randomword-randomword-#### style. Not even descriptive words that go together, person, places or things just random generation all in the same format. There were a few keyboard mashing ones aswell. All of them had accounts made the day of."
You mean Adjective-Noun-number? Because that’s how Reddit generates names if you don’t choose one
am I a bot ?
How do you prove that you are not?
Much how the Titan imploded
Idk man I managed to work together with somebody to make a pretty decent creation that’s still there now
Pretty much the best way I’ve seen this put
Let’s see Paul Allen’s pixel count
I want to see how many pixels were placed by 1 karma accounts. That would be pretty astounding I would think
i have 1 karma - did my part o7
Pixels per resident
"Thanks, was curious about that! Very surprised with Viet Nam and Argentina this year. Crossing my fingers MEX and ARG don't overtake Brazil on the leaderboard, seems we let it slip a bit."
Not really curious about VN though...a fatal mistake of breaching Slifer
Wir deutschen haben schon einiges auf die beine gestellt dieses jahr
hast du recht!
Aber wir sind immer noch knapp hinter den USA (bei den totalen Pixelzahlen).
Nächtes Jahr wird dann Platz 1 in Angriff genommen :)
"Nett, du sprichst Deutsch!"
"Mir gefällt, wie keiner es wagt in fremder Zunge unter diesem Faden zu antworten."
"Using percentages like that makes no sense in this context, it implies that X% of a countries placed a pixel."
How is pixel per resident a percentage? *sigh*
Every number that can be expressed as a decimal can also be expressed as a percentage. But a decimal would be a lot more intuitive here.
I knew this would come but it does not change the fact that 22.8% pixels per resident does not make any sense.
"22.8% pixels per resident equals 0.228 pixels per resident. Mathematically no problem, but it’s not intuitive."
"% doesn't really make sense as a unit since you compare two different things. I would go for ""pixels per 100 people"" (which yields the same numbers)"
"% literally means 1/100, it isn't a unit."
How did you calculate that?
(Number of pixel / population) * 100
Just adding to that. I took the population from The World Bank dating to 2021.
Why did you use percentages?
Because standard
"Just noticed you weren’t the original commenter, but I think it would have been more intuitive to use decimals instead of percentages :)"
"Yup, decimals would’ve been the preferred form here."
Just to improve readability. Could have used scientific notation. But I have no idea how many people know what 5.2e-2 is compared to 2.2e-1
Segundo Francia
¿ cuanto Argentina ?
Campeon
no sabia que el numero 3 era campeon
"ah hablabas de esta tablita pedorra? Jaja no, no, te confundiste"
where is the russia??????
The couple of times a Russian flag appeared it was wiped out almost immediately
Pls tell us the freaking Time you'll ending this ... 3 days as last year was just enough .. now it's too much
"Yeah, I want my life back ;_;"
yeah right !!!
"I'm just interested in seeing pixels per capita. These stats make no sense, of course bigger countries are going to place more pixels."
It has become more work than it is fun.
"Was this fun to you guys anyway? I only placed one pixel, then gave up."
99% is a gross misscalculation and unnessecarily negative.
"From my experience it is legitimately at least 80%. Every so often I'll check to see if that cool new art that appeared was made by actual people, and they're all generic usernames with 1 karma made yesterday. Every single large artwork and flag uses bots."
"Our project is getting attacked by bots rn and we don't use any bots, but that means we are also vulnerable to others. I fear only bots are able to survive..."
If they told time people will attack before ending so let it be a surprise
It's just annoying at this time ...
You can just stop and do other things. You're not forced to keep doing it... You know it right?
Omg I didn't know 😱😱 thanks for telling me !! at least you're there omg ..... Yeah of course I know !

"end this shit, we need to sleep"
They forgot to include the country of:  BOT-swana - 98.7%
"Basically America
Almost all of the bots used Americans ip"
"Most of reddit is Americans, but VPNs are also a thing and the United States is not even in the top 10 number of countries that utilizes them. Either way the bots thing is a problem and makes place not fun at all"
*angry upvote dammit*
Real leaderboard
4 -> streamers that actually make some good fucking art instead of destroying everything
->country reddits that feel a need to spam there flag in every corner of the map
"Why its necessary to have a leader biard gased on Country?  It just reinforces the Nationalism, flags and division."
Crazy how I dont see Morocco there. I wonder why....
Because their bots are using US ip adresses lol.. Germany #1
"Yes, I know lol"
Canada made it to the top 10 just by trying to fix their flag
It's more likely Quebec that's pumping those numbers.
"our flag is multiple times the size of Canada's and looks much better, plus its not being attacked. I think it's the only example of a province/state beating its own country and I couldn't be more proud. But yeah if they add the two together it makes sense."

"Maybe waiting for the giant ""Fuck Spez"" to be destroyed by some random streamer to end it exactly then so it's not on the final canvas?"
"yea, after all, we still hate u/spez tho"
[removed]
All bots use US VPN?
"Yea... As an American, I can tell you that Germany should be #1. Without bots using US IPs, we're probably 2nd or 3rd."
Thank you for that. I listened to the discord server and it was insane what kind of hyperfocus they all evolved to create as many artpieces as possible. I hope you saw the frame with the famous Art pieces inside it. They intended to fill it completly but it was too less time...even for the germans
There was in the end just too much defending and cleaning up work to do :/
Yeah I tried keeping up with everyone but with no Layout or a computer I just pöaced some pixels to clean the existing artwork or predicted in New ones. It Was still a lot of fun!
"The final project was amazing tho, the communication and organisation between pretty much all major communities and huge streamers to create the way more than 1m pixel message... quite the statement"
please end it already i wanna play games again
Canadians used 3.77 million pixels to fix their flag.
We have 3 big areas for Québec.
I’m embarrassed to see Vietnam at No. 9 but not for the right reason 🤦
Yeah but outside of the US all these other places personalities are just their flag. You don’t have to place 10 flags on the board.
"Have you bothered to even look at what's on the flags? Most of them have historical places, peoples, foods, quotes, social media, pop culture references all over their flags. Random images does not equal personality/culture. Look at the Dutch and German sections, and you can see what the people themselves want to be representing their country. Actually really cool stuff being made here and there (with or without bots)"
"Fuxk u/spez, shut down this shit."

Without bots it’s definitely Germany on #1

"To the entire Reddit community, we want to make an important announcement! We are a place / brff community. From the first day of the game set, we tried to create art with an interesting story. Yes, we have overlaid some of our work with work from smaller communities, sorry about that! We think you're all aware of the situation with Reddit CEO Spez. This game was implemented as a precautionary measure to curb the anger of the Reddit community at a time when Reddit users were boycotting the platform. Are you just as confused as we are about why we are not given clear answers? Why are we not informed about the end of this event? Why are people being tortured? We believe that moderation deliberately delays the event so that the hype around it will extinguish the anger of users."

I think this is false representation as Admins have placed the most pixels
"The US and Germany at the top duking it out, like old times."
Notice the United States doesn’t have one flag? Lol
FUCK SPEZ!!!
Who awarded this admin? how dare you
The whole fuck spez thing is old and childish.
"Für die deutschen Internetverhältnisse ist das enorm, während r/place wurde alles mobilisiert, selbst die alten Tamagotchis."
"We are Vietnamese and the people in MixiFan sincerely apologize to everyone. From the beginning we did not intend to harm anyone's artwork. Only when our leader stops livestreaming. The new buffalo children do not infringe on the sufferings of others. If you look back at the process, you can see that we Vietnamese have not had any impact on the surrounding works. Everything happens only when the event is saved. Don't waste our team's efforts because of some young members. We are very very sorry everyone !"
Funny how Germany only has a little more than twice the pixel count Turkey has and managed to do a giant flag with tons of different artwork while turkey couldn't even do the flag itself properly.
Germany superpower 💪🇩🇪
Please do something abou the botting on the swedish flag. It’s so annoying that a streamer and his bot army can just destroy a community in less than 15 minutes.

How? USA doesn't have big ass flags🤨
This ranking is a proof that spanish used bots Spanish got more pixels on the canvas than Argentina or Mexico and they are not in the ranking You will ask me why because Bots use US IP the pixels spanish put on the canvas were counted as US pixels
All of Canada's pixels was trying to defend their flag. Kekw.
"""Which country has the most bots"""
wir kommen!
Canada needs 3 million pixels per day to keep their flag in shape.
Ils sont où les Espagnols hein ??
yet still the US lost to us

"Dear Reddit community, we have an important announcement to make! We are a vibrant and creative community known as ""place/brff,"" dedicated to producing captivating art with intriguing stories from the very beginning of the game. It is true that, in our enthusiasm, we have incorporated elements from smaller communities, and for that, we apologize.
We are well aware of the situation involving Reddit CEO Spez, and we recognize the unrest among users who have chosen to boycott the platform. As a preemptive measure to alleviate this frustration, we introduced this game. However, like many of you, we are puzzled by the lack of clear answers and communication regarding the conclusion of this event.
We suspect that moderation might be intentionally delaying the event's closure to subdue user anger and excitement. In response, we propose that the event's conclusion be set at 21:00 GMT+0/UTC+0. Until that time, we will unite to protect our existing artwork and refrain from creating anything new.
Following 21:00, we encourage everyone to color the canvas and express their feelings boldly in capital letters with the phrase ""FUCK SPEZ."" Our artistic creations have flourished over the past five days, and now we wish to donate our artwork to this cause, extending an invitation to you all to do the same.
If you come across this message, we kindly request that you share this information with the entire community. Together, let's stand strong and make our voices heard."

There is an empty canvas.
Why when people were recovering from bot attacks?
"streamers were whiting out art so that there wouldn't be art in the final canvas
btw fire steve huffman"
I meant stuff like the shot bow and that cat thing
shot bow more like bot show
He will have all the free time to screw himself as much as he wants when they
"Apparently you can't fire a CEO unless you get the law involved, or they willingly resign, CEO is the highest position of power that any human can hold under law, therefore you are immune to being fired unless the government does not want you in power anymore. We won't give up, the law must take action against him for Article I violations."
The board can't remove him?
Impeach the motherfucker then
Shotbow completely destroyed the Ukrainian mural. Us at r/NoncredibleDefense are loosing our shit over it.
Such bullshit I was so pissed when I checked the mural during break
I know! Absolutely destroyed.
Can anybody pls explain? :( haven’t been on NCD since place started
"Anyone fucking with the only proper representation of the Ukraine flag in these times, is a worthless piece of shit. My personal opinion from Norway."
"There was a planned coordinated mega ""fuck spez"" in around 10 minutes that was intentional before they closed it out, so you'd see it in the timelapse."
Black is a color. you can totally do a giant fuck spez.
they just changed it to white only.. hmm I wonder why 🤔
I believe that’s called the whiteout. It’s kind of poetic when you think about it. In the end you can only place white pixels so all you can do is destroy the art you helped create. (Or use them as a last vengeance against communities that attacked you)
"yes I know, but they had a whole thing where you could only place gray, black, and white (I think they initially wanted everyone to turn their builds to grayscale); but they removed it after only 40 minutes once the giant ""FUCK SPEZ"" began being written out and Reddit decided to start the whiteout early"
It's not a color anymore lol
Nah that streamer was an ass and tried to use that plan as a last ditch effort
"Reddit already said that ending is soon a few hours ago, I don't think that's happened because of streamers tbh"
But would they end it at such a random time ? It was 100% supposed to end soon but I think they ended it sooner because there would have been a ton of white blocks and a big F#ck Spez in the final canvas and the timelapse.
"Well, idk, but I've seen people were saying that r/place will end around 11 pm since yesterday, so it doesn't look like random time at all for me."
"It started on the hour, it should end on the hour. 45 minutes past the hour and 15 minutes before the massive ""FUCK SPEZ"" is a massive coincidence..."
"Last years' r/place switched to only white at 2:33 or something, so idk, but I have to agree that it def seems shady 👀"
"I think the streamers did influence them but not in order to avoid a ""FUCK SPEZ"". They've let plenty of ""FUCK SPEZ"" stuff be and besides, they're allowing everything from black to white."
more time just inspires more bot attacks since it's clear reddit can't do anything to prevent them
"Yes they literally can lol, put a karma limit on people and boom place becomes a lot more enjoyable"
Some people are genuine reddit users who want to participate but don't post/comment. It's not that simple
"They could have the standard wait time be 10 mins with a minute removed for the age of accounts down to a minimum for old accounts. Like 10 for new, 5 for 5yo accounts and 2 or 3 for accounts over 10yo."
"With limits that low they could just have the bots make spam posts, then have the other bots upvote those posts. At the same time though, with limits that high new users who sign up to participate in r/place would be screwed."
My idea has nothing to do with karma as that limits real people who are just not active; going by the account age should limit not just bots but streamer followers who sign up just to cause trouble. Older accounts having a lower wait time means that real organized communities can recover from attacks faster.
"Oh gotcha, I misread it. That solution would make a fair amount of sense, although from the perspective of a new user it might feel unfair. I like the idea, but then again I do have an older account so I might just be biased"
"It's not fair I know, but I see it as better than the common idea of not letting new accounts participate at all..."
And then block entire providers  because they use CGNAT and have all their users behind a single IPv4 address?
"It would suck for vpn users for the same reason it would suck for users with providers using cgnat like you mentioned, your ip address is shared across a lot of users."
"7 day age limit, makes it impossible to make bots in time and gives every normal user a chance"
Then small karma + age limit ?
"Make a community, said bots post on said community and gains karma. It's really not as simple as you think. They also can't do x amount of time created because what about the people who find Reddit because of r/place those are the people they want the most to place a pixel."
"Karma and age limit. Make it so only accounts older than the announcement can play, and require accounts have more than like 100 karma or something, and bots would be finished."
let’s do a big fuck spez in the middle
Where? I’m surprised there’s no coordination so far on this since people have been talking about it for days lol
Far right man hard to miss
They meant for a White fuck spez in the middle
"Yeah, fuck u/spez"
There has been. We've been working together for days
It is there is a template prepared for this moment by the germans
"There is coordination, colors changed because of actions of coalition BRFF, RUBIUS, FRANCE AND GERMAN"
bro everybody is coordinating
You're just a little blind.
"It is getting created, and it's helpful that we also have black & 3 grays instead of just white pixels. It can become a majestic black and white F U"
We can make the current giant fuck spez black
Why? What is the point? Keep the colour.
You can only do b/w & grey so we can't repair color
"Nah, fuck spez"
No
amen
SHOW ME THE COORDINATES!
"it is huge, zoom out"
Fuck u/spez
absolutely we should!
Let's gooooo
Germany is currently rendering a Overlay vor this
I wish we would have just blacked it out entirely from the beginning

This shit ruins this place lol. So played out.
Useless protest so they can make themselves feel better about a simple business decision
"Yup, it’s mostly performative outrage"
"Boycotting would've been more efficient, but then how would they collect fake internet points for spamming fuck spez everywhere. It was a bad business decision user wise but it made sense"
Love u/spez
What did he do?
Fuck
"Everyone, we need to band together to create a giant fuck u/spez out of white pixels"
"Who is Steve Huffman and why do we want to fire them? Sorry if I sound rude at all, I just don't know anything about why everyone seems to be against them."
"Spez, reddit ceo, fucked APIs/3rd party apps, etc etc"
"Ohh, I didn't realize that was Spez's name! Thank you :)"
"This is the big missed opportunity right here. Oh well, too late now!"
this! advertisers wont know/care who spez is but this sends a very clear message.
make everything black instead of the fuck u/spez
I agree. After all of our hard work we now have to destroy it? What the hell? Yeah I'm angry and am on board with that idea
We shall destroy ourselves in the most chaotic way possible
I bloody love Reddit. Chaotic rage-joy in purest form here. Also. The fact that the lower line of the F in FUCK is being made thin so it misses Anne Frank’s head is just so beautiful to me.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Hope the final picture is taken before the attacks
There should be an official Reddit timelapse and there will be unofficial ones too. All the good art at least got captured that way. And will blatantly show the bots literally printing images line by line.
The final clean is a group dedicated to restoring a version without the griefs and bot attacks
Our main Mexican flag got raided by bots a couple hours ago and didn’t make it to the end :((((
Our Colombian tapestry got murdered by Morocco’s bots since day one
"Yup still remember that. Tried helping for a day or two but it was futile sadly, I feel ya"
"Yea, we (Arg) had to move our flag because of that. And when we said something (politely) in the subreddit from Morocco we would get banned and muted…"
:( Happy Cake Day btw!
"Yeah, screw the bot attack and everyone spamming fuck spez and destroying everyone's hard work"
"The man moderated a fucking subreddit about being attracted to CHILDREN. He’s not fit to be the CEO. Nor is he fit to be in public. Lock him up, and Fuck u/spez ."
A lot of people are saying someone else added his account as a moderator and he removed himself as soon as he discovered. Spez is a piece of shit but if they're right you can't really blame him for that one.
"Okay that’s fair, I’m not a fan of situations like that at all. And I’ll feel really bad for spreading misinformation"
"That's what I'm hoing for. Say what you will about the canvas before (botting, streamers, etc.), but in it's current ""final"" state it's absolutely hideous and disgracefull to all the hard work present just a few hours ago."
a horrible year of place for a horrible year of reddit
"Wrong Place, wrong time"
"While I did enjoy watching people's creativity and laughing at the funny pieces, I do agree that this was the wrong move on Reddits part. Especially with the bots and everything. Not only did they basically mock ppl in the original announcement, but they used admin powers to delete some art, and did absolutely nothing to stop botting. I literally watched it happen several times. So obvious."
Yeah. My first one too. Wish I was on reddit last place since it just sucked this year
"Last place was amazing. The artwork was better, the collaboration was better, and the vibes were fun all around. This one just feels off..."
"This year just feels like a distraction from all the protest but like, that failed"
It was a ploy to increase participation stats that had been tanking from the protests.
"Honestly, last year wasn't much better. Still bots everywhere."
"Hosting it every year ruins the fun. This is two years in a row now I hope it cools down in the future. If Reddit doesn't die by then, that is."
"That the final day of place is all black, whites, and grays really just sums up reddit these last years."
"That the final day of place is all black, whites, and grays really just sums up reddit these last years."
Worst place ever.  Fuck u/spez.
BLUEY WAS SO CLOSE TO RECOVERING FROM THE BOT ATTACK
We were working so hard
We're still working hard to change Bluey into Muffin!
Bluey was my favorite part! I didn’t realize it was gone 😔
It was such a great fight to be part of!! They’re greyscaling her and Bingo though!
The absolute PANIC that I have been under for 30 minutes now!  We all worked so hard!
Reddit admins HAD to end it because everyone was starting to white out in protest. Gotta pretend like everything was their plan.
Grey Bluey!!
You mean
Bandit would be proud
"Now Bluey is in the direct path of the giant stupid P in the big fuck spez they’re doing, we’re gunna lose her and Bingo 😭"
"By the looks of it, we'll have to call her ""Grey-ey"""
Don't worry they will clean up the canvas after this
"Ukraine recovered nicely, right before the whiteout... I don't think Portugal Caralho even had a chance. And the Polska Place discord was on the ball as soon as the first shotbow appeared..."
Sleepytime Bingo was unaffected at least
Bots and streamers ruined it this year. RIP
You misspelt Reddit admin
So true. Like 3 shotbow. Apparently not from their community. And one Japan one but might have been targeted. And that like giant cat one. Some streamers were good others not so much
Screw Shotbow the overactive Shotbow stan.
"I mean, they ruined it last year too"
yup because reddit simply didn't care about place this year (this event shouldn't even be yearly) since it's only goal was to get new users and provide as a distraction after all the shit that just happened last month
the only one who is responsible for this is u/spez and reddit administartion for even starting it this year
"streamers organizing their community really did ruin it, not like the others organizing though. its a canvas to do with what you want if you don't bot anything goes"
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
You can tell what was being botted by the giant white boxes that rapidly just appeared
We should all do black instead of white if possible! The void could expand!
All Hail The Void Mother! Make her proud and consume everything in her path with black!
"ah yes, all void, as it should be"
Everything start and ends with the void.
Just let r/place return to the void. The void is inevitable and will consume all
"Right after Russian, Spanish, French, German and other streamers started painting their artwork white in protest.
Well, well, well."
"What a strange ""coincidence"". Fuck u/spez."
rare united europe moment
It’s been an honor drawing with you guys.
o7
Same. Didn't think our sub would be working together with other people drawing art like the bronies against the bots
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
god. this year was such a mess. can we all agree the bots could’ve been easily prevented if we just simply… HAD NO NEW ACCS JOIN
"Sadly there were bots created last year for this as well, but there definitely could’ve been implementations to negate half of the bots at the very least."
"It's not like people don't let bots sit dormant for years or months. Won't change shit, we will just see ancient bots instead of newborns"
"But you literally just said it lol, no new bots means the problem is significantly lesser and means the number of bots is limited"
"Also, Reddit will never NOT allow new accounts. Spez can go to the board of directors and other investors and say that millions of new accounts were created in the last week."
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
The grayscale thing is a bizarre move.
I think this is the intention. So that is ends in an image that is just black eating up the image. The big bang but in reverse.
Eh. I don't care for that decision but it's cool. That will be interesting to watch a time-lapse of later.
"still fucking dumb design, but everything about place this year was dumb. (except for the people making the art, you guys are cool)"
They did it least year but only gave people white pixels. I think grayscale gives people options to continue making until the end
It’s the whiteout but fancier
Grayscale didn’t even last that long…
Yeah who the fuck thinks the greyscale is a good idea?? WHY WHY WHY??
Why not just greyscale everything? Like we can still do art like this.
We can do bad apple again
so we can write a giant fuck spez
Fuck u/spez indeed
"Yeah, I was hoping people would be doing that but instead everyone's just whiting things out :/"
they tried doing for technoblade but he... uhh... was obliterated by a FUCK
"LMAO every one starts deleting their art to write ""fuck spez"" and y'all finally decide to end it. Y'all are pathetic. Fuck your CEO and fuck your shitty practices"
"There's been a huge ""fuck spez"" for days now"
"The person you're responding to wasn't lying. Everyone started whiting out their art in protest against spez as a form of negative PR, but admin decided to end it after huge blocks had disappeared."
would have gone viral
Lmao there is a giant fucking fuck spez for like 2 days. And if they dont want people to write that why not make the pixel only white? Like you realize people cant still fucking write fuck spez even now right? Get your head out of your ass.
"You really took the time to type all this out? If you don't care about the issue, then move on."
Old and grey just like this site is about to be
Should've kept it every 5 years ngl
But they did it simply because they would've lost people aka lost money
no they wouldn't.
"It's very suspicious that you did it just after French, Spanish, German and Russian streamers all agreed to nuke their art with white pixels and then type a big ""FUCK SPEZ"" in the middle. Like... you can't really make it more obvious..."
Fuck Reddit and Fuck u/Spez
fuck u/spez o7
ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!? WE WERE LITERALLY JUST RECOVERING FROM A BOT ATTACK YOU DIPSHIT ADMINS FAILED TO PREVENT!
relax mate it's gotta end at some point
It was great until the Bots ruined all. Fuck u/spez.
Fuck u/Spez
"Seems you intentionally ended it before the planned coordinated gigantic ""fuck spez"" in the middle. Afraid of a little profanity?"
BAD APPLE r/PLACE CANVAS
RUN IT BACK
"Lmao they saw the ""FUCK SPEZ"" being written and instantly cancelled the grey part."
It still kinda worked out in the end. 🤷‍♂️
Fuck u/spez
"похуй на бан но reddit Пидорасы такую хуйню делать. Сначала не заканчивали потом перед тотал ебкой Францией,Германией,rubius,bratishkinof, и другими стримерами они выкатили обнову ну вы и хуесосы!"
I don't think that was smart.
gg
Now people can't fix random white spots.
I can't even fix the Ukrainian one that was ruined by Shotbow anymore since my pixels also became gray-scale just now.
I was helping to fix this too :/ it’s over now though lmao
Damn. This year's r/place seems to be exclusively made for bots and streamers to shit on people with creativity to share.
"As soon as the biggest streamers decided to erase their most beautiful art on the canvas in honor of the protest, so you immediately decided to remove the colors and expose it as if it was intended. Reddit, you're a hypocrite"
Fuck u/spez. Fuck the bots and fuck the admins that did fuck all in preventing bot attacks. We DoNt kNoW iF THeYre UsINg bOts
A wonderful disaster this was
You people have ruined r/place forever
farewell…
Fuck u/spez.
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
"I realized today that the pixels i place arent actually saved, they dont appear if i refresh or ask another guy to check the canvas. Just confirms this as the best rendition of r/place yet."
we can still do grey scale art it isn't over yet.
"Bruh, wtf!!! So many communities are fighting against trolls and bots and this just gives way for those shitters to win. Fuck this shit"
"Bruh, maybe worry about bots before worrying about r/place getting old and grey. Communities are still recovering from the bot and streamer spam. Fix that first next time."
Fuck spez
"Damn, the reddit admins are really desperate, only white color now LOL, L Spez"
Wack
fuck /u/Spez
Remember one last Fuck u/Spez on the canvas
Fuck u/spez
"it has been so much fun helping fandoms, countries, and so many more to represent all of them in this wonder pixel canvas we call r/place, farewell!"
Hypocrites on Reddit
Y'all think taking away everything but white will stop us? We can make letters out of white pixels. All we have to do is not touch the surrounding area.
"Stop bringing r/place back, it worked as a one-off, not as an annual tradition"
worked the second time
Мы начали до того как это стало модно
WTF I don't understand. Giving only grey scale color equals encouraging bad streamers destroying arts.
"Well, there goes all the pride flags."
Watching the place wide FUCK SPEZ form in real time rn
Looks like every car on the road these days
"fuck u/cars
am I doing this right?"
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
No!!!
Bots getting exposed lmao
"Oh, how convenient it turned out. As soon as the people started to rebel, so you immediately removed the colors. Fuck u/Spez"
FINALLY?? BRFF!
2 дня назад закончить должны были позорники
Bots better not be in the final screenshot I spent so long preserving our design for it to be wiped out just before it ends. Absolute scam
Ебаные клоуны
капец fuck spez ДИЗ РЕСПЕКТ
I Hope you saved a picture of it before it all got turned into black and grey and white
"вы просто оборались. просто обасрали себе ляжки тем, что переобулись. вы не в тайминг добавили цвета. зачем? зачем затинули пиксель батл на 2 дня? почему не дали точной информации про конец пиксель батл?"
so worst ending cuz of Bots and stupid streamers
worst ending cuz of the stupid reddit who is afraid of protest and big fuck u/spez on canvas lol
My first place and you guys let the streamers and ESPECIALLY BOTS ruin it this year. You could have easily prevented the bots too and you lied. Glad I got my sub's artwork but a lot of people couldn't get the chance to cause of the bots
ended right when we were getting rid of botters wow
I’m guessing it has been archived before whiteout?
Which F spez should i focus on? The big one or the GIANT ONE
"Why is everyone say ""this ruined r/place"" like they didn't do this last time as a way to end it?"
"Because the admins ended it early just as everyone had recovered from bot/streamer attacks and also because everyone was going to do fuck u/spez so the admins caught on and ended it early and now, they're trying to lie themselves out."
👏👏👏great job to all sodiers of r/place 2023
This was the worst possible idea before ending this thing.
never do this again for the next few years. bringing back such a memorable project solely to hide behind because of your actions ruined this event.
Really just removed the grey scale huh? Lol
"Only white now, hurry up and write spez"
well its white only now
FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez
Went from gray to only white real quick
"It was nice wall it lasted,See you next year everyone o7"
please not
"Now, let's make a giant ""fuck spez"" sign all over the canvas."
Was an honor to make art with u 👋💙
And with you!
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.  bratishkinoff & Rubius Crazy
Why still let people still put grayscale and ruin everything?
"how convenient, just as everyone starts protesting you suddenly say that you agree?"
What's true? an interesting decision when many were going to erase their art
Way to find a way to ruin it even more at the end
"This is just my opinion, but this is an awful way to end the last day. Bots can very easily spam white pixels and ruin many large pieces, heck it’s happening right now. And the people who built those have no way to defend themselves"
You know what else is getting old and grey? Dealing with u/spez's bs.
This is a story...
Fuck u/spez
"you have done, you have joined the massive streamer movement, (the idea is to paint over all the drawings) and now you will pretend that this is your idea. you can not do it this way"
Wow... right when users decided them selves to end it at GMT +0... you end it to make it look like it was a planned...
"Finally!!! This time they made r/place too long.
The problem of bots and new accounts should be corrected for the next edition."
Fuck u/spez
I agree with the fuck spez sentiment but can we make sure that the bluey art is spared from being whited out?
Why are you doing such a dumb thing by removing the colors?! You really want to kill all the fun. Reddit went to the garbage as fast as elon‘s 44 billion social bird hobby.
I can already see that the greyscale is going to just extend this whole thing. People are already just creating new works of art and defending them. Vietnam has whited out the country and is blocking anyone from extending the whiteout
It was a fun event until the bots started covering up all the little mini games that were built with their stupid Spez spam
K guys. Hope we do a place in like 5 years again instead of one
Big fuck u/spez everybody
"I Just want to say, this was a honor to fight with yours this month of 2023, so Goodbye."
"goddamn, hell of a way of blocking people from speaking their minds about your shit-ass, useless 'decisions' and lack of respect for the mods and developers who CARRIED this site and made it into what it is (or was)."
"Perfect, now nobody place another pixel 👏🏽"
Literally the most unite /Place has ever been.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Should leave it on all year
"Ha, that whole gray thing didn't last long."
"Sure, but fuck u/spez ."
"cowards, the grey scale was gone as soon as they saw it... fuck u/spez"
Didn't stop us tho.
What a colossal shitstorm of an event. r/place was a failure this year in many ways.
Yall couldnt wait 5 years and now You ruined it probably forever
You shouyld also agree that the nuking 3rd party apps drama has gone old and gray. Let's revert everything back to where it wa.
When? What time?
The void is coming.
Ooo a poem
So it begins... at least my art survived
Man just after genshin recovered too oh well been nice y’all
Let's all make final giant fuck spez
everyone leave fuck spez to the end!
Please not. Make it 4 days like the rest.
"Thank you for doing nothing against bots, I'll never participle again."
FUCK SPEZ
Fuck bots
Well I guess that’s it. I guess it’s over for 2023. Very sad I wish it lasted longer.
You a company of cowards
Fuck u/spez
"Seriously? I just had some art coming together after people were ruining mine, and now its going to ho away.."
It was an hounour to be a part of this 🫡
fucking finally
Soo bottled artworks now destroying their own artworks ?based
"What if, as the greatest fuck u/spez we could, we only place the black, white, and grey pixels on already black, white, and grey pixels. Leaving the entire thing up until u/spez (the fucker) has to kill Place without our help. Just like they’re doing to the rest of Reddit."
Bots and admins are apparently trying to clear the fuck /u/spez paintings everywhere.
Чмошники
"фу какие вы блять лицемеры!! все сразу переобуваться начали , и блять со своим дадада сегодня закончим👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
ВОВА БРАТИШКИН ШЕФ ВСЕГО МИРА!!"
"help us to write a big ""FUCK u/SPEZ"""
"Let's just hope the final picture it's not before the botted images, we finally fixed messi after a lot of attacks."
"by the way, fuck u/spez"
bratishkinoff
Fuck u/spez
END IT NOW
11/10 communication skills
ой бляяяя да завали ебало
It’s probably been the most chaotic r/place so far 😭
Clearit!
"all non-botted communities should white out their art completely so that only the botted ones remain, and create some kind of 'fuck spez' on every space that they left white"
Today when?
"Even though it had a lot of drama included, it was nice to meet the people and create all the art :)"
Goodbye!!! It was meh
FUCK SPEZ!!
FUCK u/spez
I can finally sleep. Good night everyone
чмошники
"Immediately after Russian, German, Spanish and Turkish streamers decided to speak out against this absurdity of admins and show their protest, you immediately closed the pixel battle, so as not to fall in the eyes of people even more. You are a liar"
NOT THE SMALL FUCK SPEZ.!
Why do you guys ruin everything
What is r/place?
Fuck u/Spaz!!!!
"Well, get those last “fuck spez”s in there before it’s over my friends"
SUPPORT THE BIGGER FUCK SPEZ
You shouldn't have opened this thing
fuck u/spez !
Fuck u/spez. Fuck the admins and mods and fuck the Bots
bratishkinoff and rubius start this shit🔥
Fuck u/spez
that was too long this year
o7 ill miss this community and i hope to have fun next year
"Place is a fantastic event, hope it comes back soon enough"
I think i have a small hunch that everyone isn’t mad at u/spez lol
This is my favorite sub to watch drama on. Y'all really fighting about this stuff lol
Why does everybody want to fuck Spez?
HAHAHAHA FUNNY WITH YOU REDDIT! YOU ONLY THOUGHT TO FINISH IT WHEN THE STREAMERS WENT AFTER YOU! HOW MUCH LONGER WOULD YOU CONTINUE THIS? TWO MORE WEEKS?? YOU IDIOTS! FUCK SPEZ AND REDDIT
"I am enjoying the giant ""Fuck Spez"" artwork being made"
EVERYONE FUCK THE WHITE OUT. WRITR A GIANT FUCK SPEZ BEFORE WE KILL PLACE.
FUCK u/spez
It is becoming blank now. The artwork is ruined.
"Way to give the trolls everything they needed to further screw the cdn flag, no more beaver or goose sucks."
you got afriad of the fuck u/spez didnt you
There’s only white left…
"FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez FUCK u/spez
EVERYONE JUST TYPE OUT THE SPEZ AND LEAVE IT THERE"
That Fuck /u/spez is looking beautiful!
This is the most Reddit has been united since going after the wrong guy in the Boston Bombings
Oof
"It's pointless, the bots just change everything."
I posted the giant fuck spez and it kept gettin taken down🫣
welp
"Why? Right after these Bot attacks that destroyed everything, the community should have time to recover"
Fuck spez!
You were afraid of our power.
Fuck u/spez
"This is gonna become an annual thing, mark my words. Another cool slice of internet history to be marketed and cheapened. I certainly won't participate anymore. Reddit doesn't deserve any special engagement."
End it all today .....you failed at your very mission statement..... individuals mean nothing
"What a good rhyme, you fucking losers."
Good riddance to bot attacks
Its been a great time. Fuck u/spez. o7
Fuck u/spez
Fuck reddit and fuck u/spez

Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Do you agree about fuck u/spez ?
Fuck /u/spez
well. obligatory fuck u/spez let’s go out with a bang
Pretty bad year.
GG. Got shadowbanned for nipples. But it's been great fun!
"HEY, WHAT THE HECK?!"
Whys the whole canvas going white and whys everyone saying fuck spez? Who is he
"Yeah, everything gotta be removed. Bots'll blur whole canvas."
why did they never fix the zoom out bug? insane.
"o7 r/place
Really fun event but at the same time I hope it doesn't happen again."
"So much artwork got ruined, why would you do this 😞"
What the actual fuck has happened to the canvas?!
"Why can I place only black and white pixels? can somebody explain to me, I don't know what happens, I don't really use reddit"
Dum
byee weezer place unu
Please don't do this event every year.
finally. thank you
fuck /u/Spez
Fuck u/spez
No
Fuck u
bruh
Fuck u/spez.
why am i shadowbanned?
is this something to do with why i can only play white greys and black pixels or do i have a bug lmao
This event sucked balls
All that work to recover Ukraine for the adms to them do this....
shitty ass platform
fuck u/spez
fuck u/spez
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
There is an empty canvas.
They changed it from greyscale to only white because of the giant fuck spez forming LMAOOO
"It happened within, what, 40 minutes? That is the funniest thing ever"
The color palette or the fuck spez thing?
The colour palette. I bet they thought everyone would convert their art to greyscale but it didn't work out like that
The colour palette
"Some bots or hackers are still placing colored tiles, ive was trying to greyscale a pixelart but the same account keept painting it back to colored"
Interesting. Where at?
"Around -660,-30, i was painting the ear of the fox"
Gotcha.

Fuck u/spez
That was rude as hell to change because it would’ve been so cool to see the whole canvas in greyscale before the whiteout :(
"yeah, genloss was in the middle of making our design greyscale but we didnt get to finish so now it looks weird :("
Same. I discovered this axolotl that I’ve been putting pixels on and we didn’t even get halfway through converting it before they made everything white. Then it got consumed by the giant message so I guess it was a worthy sacrifice lol
thanks for helping us out!
Same. We were trying to make our Adachi art greyscale and had like five pixels left when they took away all colours but white
Was that the grey/teal dragon on the board? It looked really cool like that tbh
Yeah noticed you could only place white now. This whole thing is fucked
"Yeah, the greyscale thing didn't last very long lmao."
"I mean they still can write ""fuck spez"" with white only"
Yeah but it will eventually be all white cause people won't control the urge to fuck things up
Imagine if whole Reddit decided to stop placing pixels after the fuck Spez.
Admins are already blotting out the rest with white
The admins are every now and then filling in white pixels because they are cowards
The whole of Reddit will never decide to do anything.
Yeah. This is already happening.
"the end of last years place you could only place white as well, so it could be reddit protecting spez or it could just be a continuation of what they did last year"
"It is to protect Spez, as before this whiteout they let everyone color things in greyscale. If it was to repeat last year's whiteout, then why include the 5pish minutes of greyscale?"
So obvious they didn't want it to have fuck spez everywhere
"Welp, the pre-existing art is still there, so the ""fuck spez"" can just use that as an outline"
On it
The project finished by the time you replied to my comment lol
"Maybe we can still pull off the giant ""fuck spez"" with just whites if we avoid painting over the other remaining colors"
"Everyone leave it alone as it is, fuck u/spez"
WE CAN DO IT
What a bunch of cowards
fucking cowards
We agree to just all stop when it's formed right?
were still writing it!
Won’t stop us
And it's looking glorious...
cowards we can still do it! just leave the other pixels alone!
exactly my thought
It's still happening with just white lol
Good
Big fat FUCK u/spez
Lol cowards. Fill in the letters before destroying the rest of the canvas
"Pathetic, what was the point of the grey colours if you were gonna take them away so soon."
Because they knew what was being written.
This is so petty of them lol
Of course it is.
The entire point of this place was as a Guerrilla stunt to stop people arguing about the dead of third party apps
"I think it was to boost accounts, even though most were bot, bet a lot of people set up multiple accounts. It looks good on the spread sheet"
I like that fuck u/spez is also Fuck U Spez
I also think it was about getting old accounts to sign up for email. Only way to place is with a verified account.
"Just like the last time, they disable all colors except white so you can erase the canvas pixel by pixel."
"They started off with black, all the grays and white. This isn't like last time. They saw people starting to spell ""fuck spez"" on the entire canvas and switched to all white."
[removed]
Fuck u/spez and his pathetic admin team
Pettit
Fuck Spez
Didn't stop us anyway.
Admins are already speeding up the whitening. Seeing a ton of no name white squares being massively populated.
wait what’s happening
Admins are once again cheating because we make them look bad.
its alright we all have screenshots of the final piece that will live on the internet forever. rest assured spez attempt at covering up what we wrote is never going to work
"I don’t even use third-party apps and wasn’t sure what the protests were all about, but admins covering up reddits free speech… that’s low. And enough to make me join the protest."
It's not the first time. This is just classic Spez: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-edit-comments
"Sign all the hard work.. but just like thanos, this was inevitable"
could i have that screenshot somehow
i just dm’d you the ss of fuck spez
thanks
Hey can you send me that ss
"It sucks, because I was writing my own protest against people using bots."
They even changed the time for placing pixels from 4 mins to 1 min
It was already down to 3 minutes when they took out the colours.
It was already down to 3 minutes when they took out the colours.
30 seconds now
just a bug. happens on the inside of the letters too.m
We where faster though. The great work has been finished.
screen cap it while you can
and they still couldn't even stop it from happening
"Brings tears to my eyes, all could all come together and agree on one thing."
"That was my thought.  So many wars, so much hatred and trolling.  But we all could agree on one thing.  The giant letters came up so fast it was astounding."
Just white was enough
The fuck spez protest was/ is hella annoying
I think they removed it bc ppl were writing a huge fuck spez in black in white and they didn't want it to perdit
still happened lmao
So their ok with it just being in white??? Madness!
It was so pretty but if they want it just in white..
They had to stop that well coordinated 8 letter message that was forming
Even then it s to late. Is written out so far
I’ve been doing my part 🫡
"Well despite their best efforts, we still formed it!"
Who needs grayscale anyway? Hehe
"God, the board meeting where they try to use this event's user engagement to get money from big investors is going to be wild 😂"
"I'd pay money to see it, but I don't think any of us ever will."
"Give it time. Someone's going to leak it.
Or make their zoom call public. Or whatever they're using."
It’s funny how you address them directly as if they have ever bothered giving a straight answer.
Right????
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Like how you destroyed Reddit by destroying 3rd party apps?
Gottem
"Not only destroying 3rd party apps... but destroying them in the most slimy way possible. Less than a month warning, slandering developers, giving BS answers."
Not the first time this has happened.
Yep. And it's not okay.
Spez doesn't care.  Fuck 'em.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Username checks out.
destroyed Reddit by destroying 3rd party apps?
It’s a overblown issue
Damn bro you gottem so hard. Reddits gonna shut down now because of this burn.
An empty shell of r/place. Not even close to last year.
"True, I wonder why it felt lacking this year?"
Only introduced to try and turn attention away from current state of Reddit
"I know there were streamers causing shit last year, but I really don't think they were this bad with the wanton destruction. I definitely don't remember anyone drawing white supremacy symbols on a community's artwork."
bots
Reddit got their metrics for the IPO.
Plus a distraction from the 3RD party apps.
We needs news to spread that majority of the new users are BOTS - so that advertisers don't fork over money to Reddit.
This right there.
"The circumstances of its appearance. A desperate attempt from Reddit to make us forget the slaughter they brought to 3rd party apps. Needless to say, it didn’t work. We all participated(because it is still fun) but everyone is still pissed."
"It did work though. The only effective coordinated  message would have been a full boycott. Not a big fuck spez graffiti on some pixel art they would barely be looking at with any real care. It's the engagement alone, the reach via streamers, the number of messages in the boards they care about, and not at all the content. You guys say you knew this was a cynical move off the back of some disgruntlement... yet you still caved in and gave them what they wanted? It's been fascinating to watch unfold."
Admin intervention where it didn’t matter and Admin non-intervention where it did (bots)
Feels like lack of advertising. I don't feel like we had enough time to know it was coming back.
communities not just bots
"It's not april fools, they brought it back to distract from reddit's shite state of affairs."
"Shout out to XQC's group tho, the charizard was fucking great."
"I 100% agree. I loved last year's place, but this year was nothing more than a fool distraction tactic.
I hate (fuck) Spez for running one of my absolute favourite Internet moments."
what happened to grayscale? fuck y'all and fuck spez
They realised what ppl were writing. It can still happen as long as ppl only place pixels in the right spots
It happened hahahahah
30 beautiful and for the admins agonizingly long minutes
Some fucks were trying to turn the F into an E but some legends clutched by drawing the line the other way too lmaoooo
What a Save!
Edit: I love Reddit sometimes
Party like it’s the last r/place event to ever happen.
u/spez functie elders
Vas te faire foutre u/spez
Nique u/spez
u/spez functie elders
To be fair it probably won’t be. I’m sure Reddit will keep r/place in reserve in case redditors need distracting again.
The only thing this created was a shitty distraction from the API changes and to pump up the user base so if appeals to investors.
I would say this brought the API changes back into the spotlight way more than it distracted from them.
Yep. This plan for r/place to distract from the spez drama actually shed light on it.
Streisand effect in action
Which is why it was a shitty distraction
Also a huge increase in account creation for bots
We need news to spread that the majority of new users are BOTS so that advertisers don't get misled.
"Y'all are so dumb lol. The API didn't need distracting from, none of y'all were doing anything. the subreddit protests ended after at most 2 weeks."
"Fuck /u/spez, xQc, bots and the Moroccan building. That is all."
What did xqc do?
Going around and griefing random communities.
And then they took revenge on us r/Quebec section because he's from here but we didn't work with him at all
Tried to destroy art
Better than ElZeein and some Russian streamers. That dumbass cat at the top-left was botted from the start and lasted until the end.
"nothing worse than the other streamers, infact the only big destruction he did was actually planned and organised by the germans and he only joined in with them."
"He's a loser and a piece of shit, let him take the blame"
"Well for one, he’s himself. That’s enough for me to dislike him."
Same
attacked everyone in the bottom right (including us at afip and our allies bordering us) with fire from his dragon
those stupid bots I worked all day protecting my (small) art only for it to get overwritten by a massive discord URL at the eleventh hour
FUCK u/spez !!
fuck u/spez
They legitimately couldn't even go one hour with the greyscale because it was becoming way too obvious that the FUCK SPEZ was going to cover everything.
So true!!! Redditors will never stop fighting!!! Reddit strong!!!
"At least Xqc was against botting and made art through coordination, I'll give him that. Meanwhile, ElZeein's cat has been botted the past two days hanging at the top left and people completely forgot. Ain't no better than Morocco. It was even interfering with the huge fuck u/spez drawing for awhile. The only thing that finally stopped it was the whiteout."

fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Everyone should stop whiting it out once we finish fuck spez so that they are they are forced to shut it down with that on there.
"ppl didn't sadly, and admins can admin and fake stuff"
Karma requirement next time please.
Yea also a account age limit.
And a captcha
And a verification email
i hope everyone stops erasing after it's completely readable
Mods will think about the rest sadly
The giant 'FUCK SPEZ' is a glorious display of unity. Now we should just stop whiting out pixels and let it sit there as long as possible.
that was fun (except bots)
don't forget the streamers
forget
Or Spez
"The Reddit admins are cowards. Not only did they refuse to address the bot problems, they also actively censored their communities creation."
Also they stopped the greyscale as soon as they figured out what we were writing.
fuck u/spez
GET THE REST OF THE FUCK SPEZ IN BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT
"And together as a whole, we come together to speak one final message on the canvas…"
"Its funny how Reddit tries to block the ""F Spez"" thing but people still finds a way to do it."
Fuck u/spez
Fuck spez
Fuck u/spez
Y’all thought just giving us white pixels would stop anything.
I’m sure there’s a lesson to learn here.
WE DID IT
"o'really, finally"
"What a shit show, what was previously a wholesome experience became bait for more users to spend time on reddit after the recent changes. Don't even get me started on the fucking bots. Glad it at least ended with one last massive fuck u/spez :)"
i guess they will end before we write spez.
"Nope, they managed it."
they might end the official timelapse before it appears tho. or even cut it out entirely. i wouldn't put it past them
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE GREYSCALE COLORS LMAO
dont place any more after fuck u/spez
We did it reddit!
The only time where this could actually be said genuinely.
Sadly yes
"Love it how this clearly shows where all the other bots were used, as they just continued doing their job (of protecting their creation) not realizing they’re using white color and therefore erasing it instead"
Turkey just disappeared instantly lol
Ukraine and Vietnam also… that beautiful art piece right next to europe dissapeared instantly in a second after only gray colors were allowed
Fuck u/spez
I can’t wait for the Timelapse video 😂😂
Imagine the Reddit admins having to show the results to spez. Lmao.
I was here r/IndiaPlace
I was sexy r/IndiaPlace

"Me yaha tha r/IndiaPlace , u/spez mere lode pe"

Fuck u/spez
FUCK SPEZ! SLAVA UKRAINI HEROYAM SLAVA!
Lol just keep placing the same white pixel on the same tile
You cowards
"I know this won’t happen, but imagine if the whole Reddit community just decides to leave the fuck spez in white lettering and not place any more pixels."
It’s only white now
Doesn't seem like r/place was able to cover up the removal of third-party apps now huh?
and GIANT WHITE F SPEZ
I love how I can't even place a pixel without it being put down yet I still get the timer for it.
the admins noticed the giant “fuck spez” happening and took away the greyscale tiles before the people could finish it
Still finished.
they just could not be stopped
"It's hilarious to think that place was started again to distract from the API changes, and yet it is ending with a giant fuck spez"
Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction.
GO GO GO MAKE THE SPEZ UNDER THE FUCK
fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
Stop placing everybody lol
"How many fuck /u/spez can we get in one thread, I wonder."

what’s lemmy?
"COME TOGETHER REDDIT, MAKE THE FUCK SPEZ BEFORE THEY SHUT IT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE SIGN"
I think it says Fuck Spez. What do you guys think?
Please use the 2 hours ago footage as the official final image. Bots and streamers ruined our arts.
All this to prevent a fuck u/spez mural when all it did was speed it up
Gonna love it when Reddit releases the whiteout Timelapse and it’s just “fuck spez “
Yea not gonna lie this one sucked.
Maybe the true friendship are friends that we help typing fuck r/spez along the way.
Couldn’t handle the bratishkinoff might
Fuck /u/spez

HAH MODS YOU CANT STOP THE FUCK SPEZ FROM FORMING :troll:
"Lol, you can see who hasnt stopped the bots. Those areas were all white in no time"
"Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction. Yeah, guess who destroyed r/place? Bots and admins. Fuck u/spez"
I love how you can tell which parts were botted by the ones which turn white fastest
"I quit, before everything whites out!"
we are in history ⭐
Fuck Spez
Dang everyone saying fuck spez
Did place just get taken down due to to 8 letter phrase?
Worst place so far. Clear marketing move and full of bots! Thankfully your communities aren't dumb!
F u/spez … can’t even see the other comments since Reddit breaks every other day and servers won’t load lol
This backfired so much. Now everyone’s typing FUCK u/spez
Youre kidding right now you just took the colours away 💀💀 yall are petty asf
"It's me, your boss Spez... I want you in my office right now?"
Fuck u/Spez.
Fuck u/Spez.
"Love how you removed grayscale, yet people still managed to write fuck spez in the end LMFAO"
EvErY aCt Of CrEaTiOn BeGiNs WiTh An AcT oF dEsTrUcTiOn. No it doesn’t it start with an imagination
Reddit giving out small town vibes on this.
It’s crazy how hate towards one specific thing connects people.
What happen when it end?
White is the only colour  til everything is blank
N okoooooooo
I do not see how that could backfire. Fuck u/spez
"Thanks for conducting r/place for bots 70% of tiles placed by bots, scripters, streamer attackers"
Lame
It was good event. But better if we fucked u/spez
"Noooo íbamos a poner un FUCK SPEZ Gigante y nos quitaron el color negro
Noooo we were going to put a Giant FUCK SPEZ and they took away the color black"
Wish I could’ve experienced r/place last year before it was destroyed by bots and admins who can’t admit when they’re wrong
Fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez
"All worldwide reddits hard work, and then people pull this shit."
This is not even fun anymore.

lets finish this piece together still we can do it.. fuck spez
"It was a honor beeing apart of this and fighting with you all, also, fuck /u/spez"
Who asked?
Making only white when the big fck spez was almost finished wow
Trying to white it out to hide the Fuck Spez
It was neat trying to build art with gray scale. Goodbye my brothers
I'm guessing someone started malding over our latest collective creation huh.
keep making the fuck spez
Just keep putting the white blocks where spez should have been so we can finish it
It was wonderful. Fuck u/spez
Hope it ends with the massive fuck spez
Lmao the fuck Spez is visible
I was glad to be part of this.
spez has been fucked 🙏

All my homies fuck spez
Now Stop! FUCK u/spez
[deleted]
Legit just doing this so they can white it out enough to hide the fuck u/spez. They realize they won’t be able to use this for marketing new advertisers so they’re gonna let bots and trolls destroy it
stop!!
"OK, the fuck spez is written, time to leave r/place for good."
u/spez ist ein hurensohn
Fuck /u/spez. We can stop putting pixels now.
"Well, I gonna place all my white pixels on the white letters, I guess?"
Did they just veto greyscale pixels and instead provide only white pixels to prevent a large bold black and white “fuck spez?”
Hold the line Redditors only place white where there is white.
What is spez going to do about this? Gonna take it down if we don’t white it all out?
i wonder if i managed to place a pixel that ended up on the final canvas
"u/spez is a power tripping, power abusing, sellout loser. FUCK SPEZ"
I didn't realize it was ending lol. I thought a giant botting took place for a minute until I tried to help rebuild and saw I just had white.
to end soon.
to end soon.
"I quit, before everything whites out!"
Dang everyone saying fuck spez
"It's hilarious to think that place was started again to distract from the API changes, and yet it is ending with a giant Fuck Spez"

Well shit. It's been an honour boys.

Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction.
Everyone stop placing pixels and fuck spez
Everyone stop placing pixels and fuck spez
Everyone stop placing pixels and fuck spez
Everyone stop placing pixels and fcck spez

Cowards took away black and greys
So after destroying reddit spez will bring replace what he fucked up?
Hi mom
"Pixels come and pixels go:
but thoughts do stay.
Wildest parts of life untold:
Gone astray."
the sad thing is they reversed their decision in just 11 minutes.
"Come on, Ya'll couldn't keep the greyscale colors just a little longer?"
"Holy fuck they really didn't see the big fuck spez thing coming? There was a post about place getting old and grey and as soon as the big sign was happening, they removed the grey colours how pathetic."
The entire point of this place was as a Guerrilla stunt to stop people arguing about the dead of third party apps
FUCK CENSORSHIP. FUCK SPEZ. Some of you are cool. I'm out.
"Every act of creation ends with a botnet that destroy's people's work because the admins are too incompetent to put a cooldown on new accounts or even a single counter measure against bots, like captcha or ANYTHING"
Fuck u/spez
"Well, that's fucked that they removed almost all colors but still it was a good run. We accomplished a lot."
I was here...
Well in that case… FUCK SPEZ WON
I was here r/IndianPlace
We were we are and we will be always here ... but F.u.ck r/spez

"Well said, maybe this shit leadership ends too lol"
Never forget what was stolen from you! Fuck u/spez!
Well plenty of destruction has occured to Reddit as a whole lately. When is the creation gonna start?
No one cares about r/place this time.
"Ah yes, except you cannot destroy what was already a pile of shit to begin with."
Fuck everything! We had a beautiful piece of Ukrainian art made and thank fuck I screenshotted it.
Boooo if we wanted destruction we would’ve started the void
Will this ever happen again tho?
"Probably not anytime soon.  People rioting likely killed it from Reddit, and admins and bots interfering killed it from the users."
I wish they just kept the art that so many worked so hard on instead of destroying everything 😥😡
no pls :)

Yeah show us a time-lapse of the final day.

I feel like they just dont care honestly
"They have no reason to. These ""protests"" will have little to no effect on Reddit, as long as people keep using it."
"i made a new account just to participate, ill be deleting this account pretty soon lol"
He did it
A real one.
YOOOO HE DID IT
What did he do I just see it was deleted???
They deleted their account which is why it says [deleted] where their username is
No don’t keep it til next time

"i came back for these few days, will stick around till dataset of this r/place is released and go back to being inactive till next r/place"
"Yeah, i actually think they where expecting this… to prove that people would use reddit to protest, rather than actually leaving. Probably to showboat to the shareholders that reddit will stay up and full of users no matter what they did."
"They just want to be able to have data that says, ""Look at how many users we have signing up even after the announcement!"""
Maybe I'm too optimistic but I can't imagine the messages written on the canvas looked good to shareholders.
"The only thing that matters is the number of active users. Those 6 days of bots and new accounts, plus the daily log ins, looks juicy as fuck to them. It means that more people are able to see ads, so they can charge extra from the ad placers, and thats whats putting a big smile and a fat purse of coins on all of them, with or without fuck spez."
"They don't care. And protesting about Reddit while using Reddit doesn't prove a point, it reinforces how much everyone likes to use Reddit."
i posted one of the FUCK SPEZ being built
Thank you for your service.
Glad to say I contributed.
I worked on the big German one
I was hoping to see something more too. I also doubt we'll see it.
"This was a publicity stunt, a distraction. Not a fun experiment (with exceptions)."
Agreed. I thought it was meant to be a bit of a distraction as well.
"I was hoping instead of ""fuck"" we could have said ""fire."""
Fire is the term we'll use next year.
watch them either not post it or cut out the last bit lmao
Wasn't one of the time lapses they posted messed up? It included the extension being added to early. Did they release a corrected one? If not I have little confidence.
They're probably going to remove anything related to spez in the final time-lapse.
this is going to be difficult
"Mysterious black squares appear everywhere on the map, even in the very end where only white colour was available 🤨"
They haven't thus far.
Zero chance of that happening
We’re waiting patiently.

Place 2022 was also full of bots
They got no balls lol
I hope all the bots had fun this year....
Maybe the real fun was the spez's we fucked along the way
Maybe the real spez was the way we fucked along the fun
Maybe the real fucking was the u/spez along the way
Edit: thanks for all the updoots! I'd like to dedicate this award to u/Spez......I couldn't have done it without your actions
Maybe the all was the spez that was fun fucked allong the way
Spez maybe was all fucked the fun along the way
This is the way.
This is the way.
"This way, ease."
The maybe fucked was spez all along the way we funnn
Ooooo he's the CEO!!
maybe the real way was the fun we fucked along the spez
maybe the real fuck was the ruck we spezzed fuck the spez

The greatest piece of art was truly the final one
Damn I spit on my phone laughing

I certainly did.
Good bot
"Thank you, honestlynotBG, for voting on LuckyNumber-Bot."
That's good to hear then

Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
r/usernamechecksout
The bots had more fun than the actual people themselves
I agree. And I think bots should be on top of the leaderboard instead.
And the admins removing and covering peoples artwork. And the scripts people were using. What a blast.
"I mean, it was clearly a distraction meant to drive engagement up. I know people had fun, but it’s hard to swallow how well it worked."
The worst botting offenders were r/michiganwolverines
Morocco: observe
They owned Colombia
They literally taunted every single person in r/Place with the Megamind Meme

They thought r/place will make us forget about what they've done to third-party apps. Boy were they wrong.
I believe they wanted morre traffic and engagement on the website - and got exactly what they wanted
"well, now they have a shit ton of botted accounts lol"
Makes the bean counters happy!
"no they thought it would drive engagement which lines their pockets and that's exactly what happened. Y'all are dumb as fuck. screeching ""fuck spez"" while putting money in his pocket is the most hilariously counter productive ""protest"" I've ever seen"

"This was my first year on /r/place and god it was such a shitshow with all the bots, streamers and admins deleting stuff. Not the mention the amount of time wasted refreshing and looking at the stupid canvas... See you next time!"
"The ""next time"" will be even worse."
Advertisers will be allowed to put their own ads on r/place
Don't give them ideas.
100% they will be selling space next time
“We’re now giving Reddit Premium users access to pixels every 30 seconds.”
"""Watch this 40 second ad to place a pixel in your designated area"""
"Next time if it happens, nobody will be on reddit cuz fuck u/spez"
As if lmao
Maybe not next time...
"Honestly they shouldn’t have made it an every year thing. The first time was great, last year was okay, but this year has just been a mess…"
"It's not an every year thing, it's normally every 5 years, but I'm pretty sure it happened this year to get the reddit hivemind to stop thinking about the API changes"
"that kinda backfired lol, it actually shed a lot more light onto the changes made and ppl started asking what happened"
"to be clear: place was meant to be a one-off. They bought it back unexpectedly last year. It wasn't a ""normally every 5 years"" event kinda thing."
Yeah I’m already stressed and in an obsessive mood right now so lost about 6 days of my life looking at this LOL. Not sure I will do it again.
"I said that last year, and yet, here I am…"
God damn I hope there isn’t a next time did you see the bots?
fuck u/spez.
fuck /u/spez
fuck u/spez
Fuck u/spez

In the end their attempt to distract us has done nothing but unite us against them even more.
"oh yeah they fucked themselves with this, the amount of articles talking about this will be insane"
There are already a lot of articles lmao
I wonder why I haven't seen any linked on reddit...
They typically get buried because nobody besides /r/place cares about /r/place
I LOVE THAT
You say on the app you're protesting lol
"But it has done exactly what they wanted tho. All the ""fuck spez"" bullshit written did nothing other than keep us on the app, just like they want. Protest or not, as long as you are on the app you are lining their pockets with cash"
that was the fastest whiteout i've ever been a part of
"I felt it was soo slow, we managed to spell fuck spez with the 3 min white timer, then they put it to 1 min and still, we were whitening everything but the final message and then they reduced the pixel timer to 30s, only then did it start to go faster"
fuck u/spez
you've never been to happy valley then
GG guys
but most importantly fuck u/spez
Yes. <3

"Official timeplase when? I really, really wanna see...."
i feel like they won’t post it but at the same time it’ll make them look even worse if they don’t
As they would care
Go fuck yourself
Just like what spez did!
Hey maybe next time let’s have countermeasures against bots. Thanks……
"The funny part is last time, they did have counter measures, such as an accounts created after the start, would not be able to participate. They removed this so bot accounts would be created, turning number of users up, making the numbers look good. They knew there would be bot accounts and encouraged it"
"Fool, that would cost us money.  That kinda thing isn't happening around here anymore."
Reddit is neither managed nor engineered well enough to make that happen. They've had years to do better and proven themselves incapable. None of the serious issues have been addressed. The site is barely usable on mobile in 2023. 3rd party apps were bandages hiding much of this and u/spez tore them off.
Reddit: lol no
Im rebranding reddit to X because why not

"Spez destroyed 3rd party apps by giving unreasonable pricing with less than 1 month of time for developers to adjust. Then, Spez slandered the same developers, but he got caught lying when the Apollo developer released proof. Then, Spez did an AMA and gave the most BS PR answers ever. He destroyed people's lives. He also got caught lying and deleting comments."
"he doesn't, but we do"
He destroyed people's lives
You should ⚡️🧔🏿‍♂️⚡️NOW!!!!!
Yea! He should definitely electricity bolt black man electricity bolt right now!
The real friends was the collective hate we gathered along the way
Collective hate fuels Reddit
The Bad Apple animation was lowkey the highlight of the entire canvas.
"indeed, the touhou community are very dedicated to their stuff"
"i was apart of the bad apple thing, and there was a guy who was awake for 90 HOURS to help make bad apple correctly. lots of dedication."
I can smell the red bull brewed coffee
yeah that’s like the one good thing that came out of this whole thing. i hope someone can make a higher quality timelapse of that eventually
"You like kissing boys, don’t you?"
*bots
Both
All
"Suck my toes, you goober prime"
Thanks everyone for making the giant Fuck u Spez
No official recap today?
well they would have to show the huge fuck spez too
Not necessarily; they could cut it off before the palate changes
i mean they could but i think that would provoke an even bigger shitstorm
"This past month has made the stance of the administration on shitstorms clear, unfortunately. They don't care, these shitstorms happen in places that IPO investors presumably aren't invested in, and don't care about the opinions of."
FUCK SPEZ
The real friends we made were the ones who worked together to get the main message of this entire event across
soulless corporate barf.
"first time in place and gotta say, fuck the bots, fuck u/spez and fuck the people covering my pixels with there own in the same color"
Couldn't agree more .....it screams illegal
this year sucked lol
Fuck spez
Fuck spez
FUCK U/SPEZ
Fck u/spez!
fuck u/spez
Last year was much better :(
It was epic
Shut up we still hate you
"Even if the entire board was just “fuck spez”, people did it in some pretty creative ways. This was a blast! Thank you!"
Go thank spez for ruining the whole app and distracting us with this thing.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
"It was my second time on r/place, first time was on my old account. but now, i guess this one was also real nice. the demon and dog story, the live Hoi4 game, and Xqc attacking the turks again. but in the end, it was all fun for all of us."
The real friends certainly weren’t u/spez
This whole place has sucked ever since you sold out for cash.  Killing 3rd party apps has pushed this older user away.
"Go fuck yourself u/spez,
With love from the Reddit community"
fck spez!
Fuck u/spez
Please give us the Timelapse. It’s practically tradition
Literally the comments are like that one edited evangelion clip where instead of congratulating the main character they all say go f yourself
fuck spez
maybe the real friends were the fuck u/sepz we made along the way
Didn't know my friends were bots! Fuck u/spez
"Where'd you put all the real art saying ""fuck spez"" at?"
They didn’t even use this years for that animation that was 2022 lmao
Thanks for bringing back r/place! I had a lot of fun!

Fuck u/spez
Lmao had to make a new post because you were being roasted too hard in the previous two :P
"Haha yeah I really loved how I could place down pixels and they totally registered on the canvas because I totally wasn't shadowbanned for contributing to ""Fuck Spez"" at the beginning of the canvas, something that hundreds of people would eventually band together to do at the end of r/place anyways, totally not resulting in me being unable to place anything for the entirety of the event. I really loved that."
Fuck u/spez and fuck this r/place plagued by bots that harass small communities. you are a joke
See you next year
fuck u/spez
i don't care
Okay then mister titanium balls 🙄

"So this is it. I was really excited being part of this, seeing my pixel at forbes magazine. The recaps, the thriving community again. And then this, like a button, it went off. Thank you for playing. I was really excited. Bye-bye."
Can’t wait for the time lapse of the final two hours!
I JUST GOT HERE NO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
We are finally free
wheres time lapse
We need the timelaps
Show the timelapse.
"Yeah, we'll all remember FUCK SPEZ for ages to come."
"the r/place lore and drama is always fun to watch. The alliances, the betrayals, the instigators, the heroes and the villans, and then everyone coming together to fuck spez. its great."
My turtle survived!! :D
Place this year was a dumpster fire

There is an empty canvas.
They really just posted the image with fuck spez LMAO
Can't wait to see the whiteout timelapse.
Bloody French using bots to make the final canvas just all of their battle flag…
what battle flag?
Welcome to reddit's most ORIGINAL joke.
"ok, wow I must be tired lol, now I understand..."
It's okay. We all just spent the last 6 days waging pixel warfare. We're all tired lol
some people automated it and are as well rested as babies.
[removed]
"fuck you, u/spez"
[deleted]
"By a similar token, the reason France fell so quickly in WWII was because they had played 'host' to a lot of WWI and they didn't want to have the horrors of trench warfare on their own soil again, so they wanted to keep the fighting contained in Belgium."
"As much as I joke about France,  it was amazing during ww1 and even ww2, and they have contributed a lot to things"
Thank you
"They bombed a Greenpeace boat in an allies harbour that was protesting nuclear testing in the pacific, so fuck 'em."
Look you're not wrong but we're circlejerkin' here!
"I do not understand why anyone would assume the French were weak. Other than the fact that US propaganda would portray them as such, so that we do not try to emulate them."
"This one, some French warships used to use it."
The white flag of surrender lol
"I hate this meme/joke. It usually comes from Americans, for whom the French were repeatedly among their strongest military allies throughout their nation's history, and still are today. The jokes (from Americans, anyway--the Brits have made similar jokes for a thousand years) began after France declined to join the Coalition of the Willing to invade Iraq in 2003, which was undeniably the correct decision on France's part."
"That's simply not true.
French surrender jokes have been made since WW2, even the Simpsons used the term ""cheese-eating surrender monkeys"" almost 10 years before the Iraqi invasion"
"Was it the Simpson’s? 
I knew I had that quote in my head but I had assigned it to Blackadder."
Groundskeeper Willie gets the line in Round Springfield. Dylan Moran referenced it in his live stand-up show Monster.
"Nah. It started after ww2… cause of the surrendering and all that. 
(I appreciate France aren’t actually surrender monkeys and the French resistance was integral to the war effort.)"
"French won more wars than lost, it was just too soon after ww1 so they didnt have enough men to defend in ww2."
"As an American, the jokes started way before 2003. We started as Brits in the first place and most of them have their origin as a dig at their WWII performance. It’s just a joke at the end of the day, the same as if someone made fun of our healthcare system or any other part of America."
"Except making fun of the healthcare system is at the expense of politicians, making fun of ""France surrender lol"" is at the expense of the hundreds of thousands who died defending France the best they could."
It's extra hilarious when you realise France has won the most battles of any country in recorded history and when Americans make the joke they're calling the biggest reason they won the civil war cowards
Cringe.
"It's closer to the Confederate flag. Google ""Stainless Banner""."
"No, that's the Confederate flag."
"Oh hohohoho your in for a treat, fam! That shit was glorious,  they tried to stop us by limiting us to only white pixels, but that still wasn't enough and people were able to make that message, fucking phenomenal."
It's normal for them to limit it to white pixels only at the end. They did that last year too.
"The difference this time is they were going to do some black and white stuff, they even had an announcement."
Truly a glorious day for the fuckspez government
"r/place: “With my last dying breath, I Curse u/spez!”"
"Will they show the full whiteout, though? That's what I'm looking forward to. 👀 It definitely sent a message."
Cuz they dont really care probably i mean they achieved their goal of people using reddit and advertisers or whatever might not even know who spez is
Most users also still don't know who spez is.
Who the fuck is spez. He must be a real asshole.
The CEO of Reddit.
spez is the dumbest ceo on reddit
"Now, that's just not true."
Reddit CEO. Look for controversies and criticism.
Every spez post in this sub ahs at least 2 who is spez comments
"i mean, people complain about spez while using official app, it's ironic. He kinda won lol"
[deleted]
"Thats that foreign kid from that 70 show, right?"
"Yeah everyone that comments ""fuck spez"" or put it into place is daft if they thought it would actually do anything lmfao."
They’ve posted an image with fuck spez every day
I was there (and it definitely didn’t look like that at the end!) https://i.imgur.com/wrCR7Td.png
"Here is the real final canvas from just before the grayscale happened, 
 right after the streamers nuked their art and the bots invaded and got pushed back"
"Jesus Christ, who took the time to label every freaking drawing?"
"an absolute motherfucking hero, that's who"
"The atlas accepts submissions from users to label everything. If there's anything you know that isn't labeled there, submissions are appreciated!"
"Thankyou for posting it in more than 480p, do you have the picture from this post before the art was nuked and in this quality?"
Holy shit. To see Reddit so united in something is beautiful.
It's like the Boston Bomber all over again!
It was all bots making that.. not a bunch of angry redditors.
its about the final image before they limited the colors :)
It was before the white-out
Yeah almost like the CEO Spez getting paid big bucks probably doesn’t care that a bunch of users wrote “Fuck Spez” when in order to do that they need to participate on the website he is the CEO of.
"eh, i'm just wasting his money by using it. ublock origin is great."
"You're an active user they get to use to sell their website to investors, adblock or not."
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Why are you copy-pasting this same comment on every post? It's cool to shoot your shot but I doubt spez wants to 69 you.
"someone made a reddit account dedicated to hating on the ceo of reddit, what a loser"
When you're protest against Reddit is so important that you make multiple accounts on Reddit to support it with as many page loads as possible.
"nah, their best is bringing engagement to subs while saying that they are lowering engagement to subs"
Why dont you quit reddit of you hate the people who run it?
I don’t think they could pick a single moment without a fuck sped in there somewhere
It was beautiful.
It was everywhere.
"I feel it’s worth clarifying how little Reddit cares if you say fuck spez. What matters to Reddit is participation, and every single pixel in every single negative statement is a participating user that Reddit can show off to advertisers to increase their revenue."
Well it‘s part of it lol
[removed]
Now we need the time lapse.
They don't give at shit
It would only make it worse if they somehow cut it out. It’s too obvious
Doubt he cares about a bunch of neckbeards wailing lmao
Exactly
harsh truth.
they dont care
Common reddit L
"Aaaaand, it shows my poo speck on the Russian streamer’s art demon! Winning!"
You expect them not to?
bruh i missed it by A FUCKIN MINUTE
"Yeah. I got the notification that ""r/place is almost over"" and I opened the app and it was just empty"
"Same.All I saw was a faint outline saying ""FUCK SPEZ"""
As you should. Fuck spez

Goddamnit I JUST woke up and it happened lmao
I'm glad I'm in Europe
I knew it was happening but I couldn't do anything about it because I was on my phone with an outdated version of Reddit.
"I mean it's too late now.
But I was able to open it with Firefox and use ""desktop version"" when opening it on android."
me too
Me three
Me fuck u/spez
Missed what?
Yes.
"I was there, but couldn't click it"
Missed what?
"The final canvas and then the grayout, followed by the whiteout."
Me too 😢
"I was on a plane, so I really missed!"
A lot happened in Sweden after this picture
Some asshole streamer destroyed it with bots
"Yeah, found his stream and apparently he was butthurt because someone had said that he was a small, insignificant streamer? So ig that was his “revenge” lol"
Yea some people are just tragic...
People always ruining nice things in life
"Lol so he was called small and insignificant, and his response was to prove that they were right? XD"
Guess his inferiority complex wanted validation
Damn shame
Hope he looks back and cringe at himself in the future.
I can guarantee that he will. He looks like he's in his late twenties at this point- there is no way he'll be happy about this when he's about to be 40.
There's no way he will even be thinking about this at all in his 40s...
They really just posted the image with fuck spez
I'm excited for the official time lapse where it covers the whole canvas during whiteout.
[removed]
I was there too.
chances are he don't remember this when he gonna be about 40
We must remind him! Only fair.
Probably already forgot about it. This isn't serious and not really worth remembering. Just a fun little thing reddit does every year for a few days in which everyone forgets about until the next one rolls around.
fuck that guy he ruined it for us all
Is it coming back tho? Or is it over?
It’s over until next year.
"Mexican here, the same happened to us by a Lithuanian Streamer, you can see the before and after in my posts."
I saw that too. I’m an American and did my best to help you guys
yeah I saw that happen and tried to help but the whole event ended before it was fully restored.
"Mexico flags got destroyed just a few hours before the deadline… que chinguen a su madre, I should say."
The same for Mexico and Peru.
Wow…. Almost as fun of an ending as the avatar releases. Bot city….yay
It's was a streamer from south America ig
"Blue corner here, streamers with bots made this go round a real hassle."
Not to mention laughing when destroying a memorial…
"sweden got absolutely smashed by streamers, and denmark"
"The piece was beautiful just a few hours before this, and we ALMOST had it reasonably fixed when they pulled the plug. Devastating, all that hard work, and in the end some streamers name is what they allow to be immortalized."
Where is this?
exactly north of Ukraine's military insignia (which is north center of the map). The blue shield w a gold trident. It's being obliterated atm in this shot.
"If it counts, I sent a few pixels your way."
"Nuclear Gandhi kept getting hit as well. One streamer pasted their logo over it, Gandhi was rebuilt, then the Shotbows fired."
What's a streamer?
I got at least 3 pixels somewhere in there
Your pixels didn't all get replaced by a bot or a nameless pixel 4 seconds after you placed them?
It's the spiral under the plane that's under the starry nights by Vincent van gogh
"Ay, I was in your neighborhood working on titanfall 2, I liked the spiral"
"Well, at least we finally figured some things out, r/canada"
"Aw man, where is Titanfall 2 on here? 
I miss playing it, have the DDOS attacks stopped on console servers yet, ruinous bastards"
I was part of spiral gang! Very pure and organic area. Only got partially wrecked by bots towards the end
Hey! Me too! Man when that streamer or bot or whatever showed up last night I just hung my head and sighed. We worked so hard trying to keep that thing going. We should make it a tradition. Like the blue square.
"Yeah, I know what you mean but I was still happy we managed to hold it down for so long and that it just all happened naturally from random individuals. The spirals look cool in the timelapse as well. I'd be down to do it next place, though. It's a really easy thing to casually join. r/spiralgang or r/thespiral or r/spiralplace or something"
I like r/spiralgang since you and I both independently responded to the op with “I was in the spiral gang” lol.
Looks like r/spiralgang is taken I’m not sure by whom. So is r/thespiral so maybe r/spiralplace?
I made it! r/spiralplace is ours! Here is the first post. Come join us.
Amazing!
A question. Do you know how you got that flair?
I have absolutely no idea. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out
"Yes they did, and in the same color I had just placed. So annoying."
Depends on where you placed them. I had a couple of pixels that lasted for over 24 hours up until the very end before whiteout. If you placed them somewhere like the Canadian Flag you were pretty much losing them immediately.
"Worst r/place thanks to bots, streamers, and admin interference. Thanks for baiting us into thinking we could grayscale the canvas btw."
"Kinda hilarious how quickly they took out the black and grey colors from our palettes once the massive ""fuck spez"" started taking shape."
And people being so connected in one message that it still showed up with only white to use
"Seeing the final letters filled in in minutes, and zooming in to see not a SINGLE bot.. was fucking amazing."
They clearly aren't bothered by that considering it it's in this screenshot.
"Nah, they're talking about The really big one"
"yea, the grayscale was such a scam"
"I'm out of the loop, screenshots, video, explanation?"
"For like a half hour we had greyscale colours. Then a massive canvas-spanning ""FUCK SPEZ"" started taking shape, and they quickly turned off everything but white, and shortened the timer so that it would end quicker."
But the people managed to write it with just white. Very inspiring.
"Indeed we did, it was a sight to behold."
"They then also stopped placing pixels, so that it would take longer until the message vanished"
Actually helped us finish ours lol. We needed to finish off a trophy that used those colors
"bots, streamers, and admin interference"
"The original one was much more organic and random. Popped up out of nowhere and no one knew what it was. Much of the canvas stayed blank for hours. I don't remember exactly how bad they were, but I do know bots were way less of an issue."
"I agree with this, I think one of the reason it was launched was because they partnered with twitch for twitchrivals. Twitch even tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/TwitchRivals/status/1681786167954489345?s=20. So reddit decided to elevate the worst of it (streamers telling a group what to do) instead of the organic organization, diplomacy, and fighting/working with the hivemind."
Novelty and APIs surely make the difference last year
The first was the best.
Idk man the bad apple stuff this year is of legend
Frr like i thought slowly every art would be made greyscale or destroy and also i thought the void would actually be big but nope they decided to remove it after a short while makes me sad bruh
All three existed last year too.
None of them were that prevalent in the first Place. I miss that one.
Wasn’t there a restriction on new accounts being allowed to place tiles? Like only accounts created before r/place could place them? This time I just saw 2-3 hour old accounts. Methinks Reddit is using this to artificially inflate their user count for their IPO
"Oh that's just revisionism. There was a massive botting problem, just less streamer and admin interference"
"I wasn't around for the first one, but way more people complained about streamers last time and I saw much more evidence of admin interference last time."
I don’t think streamers are in the same category. It’s just an efficient way to coordinate  people
"Streamer art is actually a big part of r/place, its similar to community art."
It is when you're purpose is just blanking and targetting stuff
I especially love how there is Fuck Spez written on the right in different flags put by different communities. Entire world came together to say that
The best way to unite people us to give them something to hate
"yeah. im pretty sure the british were pretty united during WWII, and this painter was so bad it got americans working with communists"
He must've made a really bad painting then
Failed Austrian Painter
FUCK SPEZ
Germany moment?
Watchmen
Wow this is a statement. Truly something to think about
Hate brought on by a passion for software that isn’t shite.
It's the American way
Wise words
Extremely wholesome
"Friendship may be magic, and today, the real friends are the people who came together to write fuck spez"
Wholesome afuck u/spez
"Not just countries, but the LGBTQ+ community and internet fandoms, too."
"Together, united in our hatred ✊"
Even us Canadians managed to make a leaf instead of a lerf
the colours are even made of little tiny fuck spez's.
Entirely plausible that even a certain furher doesn't get as much hate as u/spez
Yes genociding a major group of people is on the same level as raising prices for API usage. Get real
It was my only contribution to this years place - I just helped write fuck spez
Whilst using his website
Thank you for taking the screenshot before the final streamer bombings
"The issue wasn't the streamers whiting out their own art, it was the sudden onslaught of bot greifs that were still visible in the true final product."
"Oh yeah I definitely mean the giant, art-destroying logos at the end, not the gradual whiteout."
"Propably 1000000 new accounts were made, most of it propably bots but i also have 1 karma myself and no comments because i never really used reddit but made an account because of r/place"
This is the exact reason r/place exists. To inflate account numbers to make Reddit look good for investors.
"That can be a factor while also being a fun thing that people enjoy, ya cynical bastard"
"“I won’t participate in a rare, legitimately fun and enjoyable event because it’ll make a bad company a fraction of a cent richer.”"
Fuckin ShotBow
I’m glad Ukraine fixed their banner after the fucking shot bow piece of shit.
Not completely. We recovered around 72% percent of it. Without all the other communities that came to help we wouldn't even have been close to that.
and the stupid shitty discord pom image
Genshin I think was in the process of being bombed
"We recovered by the end before the grayscale, still in the process of rebuilding at the time of this screenshot."
It was bombed and rebuild constantly. It's such a shame as the artwork was beautiful and didn't do any harm to anyone.
"There were atleast 100k+ people watching one of the streamers that wanted to do the GIANT FUCK SPEZ, I doubt they're all bots tbh"
"Denmark was bombed, so this is too late a screenshot."
"Right? Literally Sweden and Denmark were both messed up, especially Denmark. At least Ukraine wasn't messed up yet in this screenshot."
Same with Mexico.
And Peru.
Nooo I don't wanna be sw*dish
"I tried to help save the Danish flag a number of times, but someone kept blacking it out."
"The Swedish streamers had over 1,2k bots so it was impossible to combat it, luckily reddit banned almost all before the end so we could partially rebuild denmark and sweden."
But they could've posted a time lapse. That would've allowed you to see that and also see the real final frame.
Yeah i had a rant about that an another post. I’m glad my design is preserved
Lithuania literally destroyed Mexico’s artwork right at the end using bots while laughing in a stream
Not really. Mexico was destroyed 😭

They shut it down? Or the time is over?
The time ran up
"BTW. That is NOT the final image before the greyout/whiteout. Many streamers nuked their artworks a few minutes before the palette got changed to greyscale. There should be a few white squares, but yeah. Admins didnt want to post that because it doesnt look so nice i guess. Fuck u/spez"
really sucks. a community i was in was recovering from a bot and didn’t appear
"The Mexico flag, which I was most active in, in the top center also got screwed. It was beautiful before this."
The genshin impact artwork under perry the plataypus also got nuked in this image
It’s better they posted this image than one that was greifed last minute
The streamers griefed their own Pictures bro
Kirby absolutely fucked over Costa Rica. That wasn’t a streamer griefingntheir own art.
they didnt post the final final because there where bots printing over all the art
I’m fine with that. It’s before the bots griefed everyone and wiped out a bunch of communities.
They did the same last year just saying. Posted a final pre whiteout image and then a time-lapse including the white.
"You misunderstood a little. People started painting over their drawings before all the colors disappeared. As a protest. And only after that, the administration removed all the colors. They deliberately destroyed their drawings on the canvas"
"The end of place was already planned way in advance, that was just a coincidence. This screenshot was taken earlier because of the bot spam during the final hour."
"What the hell are bots? We have been preparing for this for several hours. I personally painted over our drawings. Other streamers did the same with their audience. Even reddit itself wrote a post where it was reported that they turned off the colors to support the boycott. Also, if Reddit was planning to do this, why did it choose such a time for the finale? Don't you think it's funny? Do you really need a specialist if you see bots everywhere"
"the end was not known, and that's why streamers decided to end it themselves, this forced reddit to end it"
Yh I wonder what time this was taken. Prior to shotbow aswell
There's a clock in the windows task bar image that a group was maintaining. I'm not 100% positive but it looks like it reads 18:58. The clock appeared to be showing Central European time - I'm in US Eastern time and it was 6 hours ahead of me on a screenshot I took a couple hours later.
Yh I remember it being gmt +1. Good spot and good work clock maintainers
"It was a few minutes before the Shotbow attack, I remember it because the Indian flag was the first one under attack and at that time we just finished our last art"
"By the way, a little background. This boycott started because of streamers who drew art with a demon and a dog. They teamed up and started contacting other streamers to color their drawings white, but the administration was afraid of this and turned off the colors. Shame"
"Nice, 3,000 x 2,000 only full-res image so far, but it looks a little old"
Can’t even see the amongus 😢
"Don’t worry, they are amongit"
You can barely read the small F Spez text
i started doing a little thing on my own and its not even close to finished in this screenshot
Yeah the fuck cars logo isn't even done in this image and we definitely finished it with lots of time to spare
"Well it’s because there was a huge bot fest right near the end. A bunch of stuff got wiped out, so the screenshot is from around half an hour before it ended"
You can check the time on the task bar
I can see my house from up here woah
Hey ma! Get off the dang roof!
Nuh uhhhh
"Hey, what’s going on on this side?"
I see my square
You sure that that's not my square? I could swear I used the same color
"Now that I’m looking at it, I think it might actually be your square"
"Nahh, that's my square"
"No, it’s my square"
"Feel really sorry for Denmark, they didn’t deserve to get streamed over like that at the end."
"Sweden too. It wasn't Swedish redditors that took over the Danish flag, that was botting streamers as well."
I'm swedish and do not associate with the streamer scum. He ruined our flag too and real swedes placed both Danish and Swedish pixels until the bitter end.
That was a pitty! The whole Scandinavian square was beautiful.
"Ahhh bro Nice to know, i was so sad cus i honestly thought The swedes fucked us over after The good fights we’ve been fighting.. esp against The early void stuff."
You thought us swedes would fuck our own flag and art???
it happened the same to Portugal
The same iceland emblem lasted from the beginning to the last day then got messed with at the end

Implying it wasn’t shit to begin with
"Because believe it or not, last year's r/place is actually quite fun. There are of course the usual trolls or streamers that raided artworks, but the bots weren't as prevalent back then compared to now (which is when reddit removed any karma limit for accounts resulting in tons of bot accounts having just 1 karma)."
Me when a company does something for financial gain 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Fuck /u/spez
Props to all the communities that partook in this.
"Being Canadian, I had to lol at that Merple leaf comment 🤣"
The Blue Corner definitely survived all the Bots and Streamer attacks.
"For real, touhou did an amazing job!!"
hey that’s me
I made it in too
"I think it is fair to say that everyone here knows, that this image does not show how r/place 2023 TRUELY ended."
a bit sad to see the image was after the genshin space got nuked but
"I too am sad about the genshin space, we protected as best as we could till the end"
"We actually recovered fully about 10 minutes after this picture was taken, and even fully coverted to greyscale when that happened. We were fucking amazing this year"
"Apparently this is the final picture, so they actually managed to defend it to the end."
im glad!!
"I helped with it, and went to sleep, and then I couldn't find genshin space"
"It’s okay even though it’s not fully repaired here, we pulled through after all those attacks and didn’t budge an inch. That’s all that matters. GJ everyone"
At least being 60% done shows we were still re-building it right to the end
Don’t worry. We repaired all the necessary stuff before the greyscale kicked in.
I tried to help somewhat but I suck at pixel art and wasn’t sure what color to put where. I dropped a couple of my best guesses but the writing was on the wall so to speak.
Same with Denmark
I really like it font
"Remember friends,
it was about Pixels,
it was about communitys,
it was about friendship
it was about getting raided at 3 Am by a buch of fucking Bots to which Reddit did nothing to stop it,
it was about hating each other
but no matter how much we hated or loved each other, we can all agree that
u/Spez ist ein Hurensohn."
IDK if it was Reddit admins or not but when our artworks under the Indian flag were attacked by bots within a second all the colours in the flag got reverted those pixels didn't have any usernames (anyway our flag got raided for more than 5 times)
"solong everyone, it was a honour 🫡"
🫡
truly the r/place 2023 of all time
"The bronies somehow survived, yet again. Wow."
At this point I think they might be immortal. Being raided 29 times and still being pristine on the final canvas is thoroughly impressive.
And yet the big streamers target them every year and still fail to keep them off the final canvas. Perfection.
anyways fuck u/spez
dont do this every year. fuck the reddit team and speZ
"Well by 2025, I won't be alive to do it so, whoever does it then, make it good."
Why won’t u b alive
Lupus
This screenshot was about 4 hours before it ended.. Not too accurate
Everything thereafter was a bunch of bots
For the most part. It just sucks seeking communities that were raided at the time of this screenshot.
It really does suck especially when it takes 5 days to defend the artwork from the bots and there’s no stopping it unless you’re a big streamer who you also might have to deal with
They did that so people can actually admire the artwork for what it was.
SHOW THE TIMELAPSE YOU FUCKING COWARD /u/spez
Ruined by bots and streamers
As usual.
"Next time they try Place there needs to be a minimum karma limit, otherwise it will continue to be shat on by streamers and bots."

I was here for r/bluey!
"Uh, that's not the real final canvas lol"
"Really happy they posted it before the bot grieving wiped out some of the coolest art like Starry Night, the Ukraine flag etc."
"We definitely need a 16k timelapse, because lots of good things got buried there."
"Look at us go, FUCK SPEZ"
"we're pixel placer men, LOOK AT US GOOOO"
"Fuck the admins, fuck the bots, and fuck u/spez"
Thanks for taking this image b4 the bot invasion.
That damn Morocco building is such an eyesore. Fuck bots.
Why did you go for an image before we restored the Genshin art. But I’m glad you took this before the r:Gamindustri stuff got pudding’d
"Fuck that streamer who attacked the Genshin space, what a stupid asshole"
"NSFW Shego made it, if only in a lesser form than her former grandeur"
"Hey Canada, you made it! ☺️"
And we had more than just a leaf! Go Bananada!
"TRƯỜNG SA, HOÀNG SA BELONG TO VIỆT NAM"
"Fuck bots. Next time, restrict it to accounts that are more than a day old, please."
I dont think people will tolerate this comment when im one of them. But seeing the Genshin community not even being able to defend that last attack sucks because of the grievers who mostly targeted us. Fuck the prejudiced grievers and spez
"On the bright side, pretty much all of the essential stuff was fully rebuilt when the color switch happened. We even took the time to greyscale the whole thing."
Man I've just woken up and I see r/place is an empty canvas. That noticed me this event has ended
Good they chose the image before it was messed up by streamers' bots
The demon and the dog forming a bond were all that mattered this year tbh
Thank you for not including the bot printed BS at the end
F to all the fallen soldiers that got their ass beaten by bots
if it hasn’t been said yet
So proud to have taken place in the giant FUCK SPEZ logo.
The international “Fuck Spez” will be forever immortalized
Man it was a battle to keep the union jack up there
I know this isn’t the the true final canvas but it isn’t the one plastered with last minute raids and bots so I’ll take it over that
Fuck u/spez
I was here but it’s not the real end you just delete the bot and fuck spez partis
Thats not the final image stop lying to us LMAO.
So like... do you guys wanna go out? Grab dinner or something? 👉👈
Worst r/place yet. Did it too early no announcement and generally I think ended too early although I might be wrong. Either way large L

"Fun fact: since u/spez kept those messages, he can now argue that Reddit is a place of free speech"
"Props for not censoring Fuck Spez, also again: fuck u/spez"
Are we getting trophies this year like with last year?
I was here. Beautiful.
Next year I'm bringing a much larger bucket of popcorn to these shenanigans.
Canada's flag actually looking like Canada's flag. GGs🇨🇦
"Where can I get the full/highest resolution image, please... Anyone?"
Fucking Germany.
"well /r/Save3rdFartyApps members, we have failed ourselves..."

I was here
i was there
was expecting 1/3 of the canvas to be censored
"Peace out y'all, it was fun. I will remember this as a fun time uniting with you all under unfortunately grim circumstances. Fuck Spez."
FUCK BOTS AND SPEZ!!!!!
Insane how the admins ruined so many community projects not made by bots.
Love you guys.

"Rather disappointed that we as a group haven't evolved in our art. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of great pixel art, but zoomed out, it's just doodles and flags"
fuck u/spez gang assemble
It’s… so… Beautiful… 🫡🥲
"Not that the admins are gonna see this comment but if yous do, please don't do another r/place for another few years. it just makes it more interesting/exciting. if you do it annually it just gets boring"
Here is the canvas before the grayscale started
This was my first in r/place. Although there was a lot of controversy it was really cool. I have never seen this be done before where community’s (and bots) come together to create art. I find it really amazing that a bunch of strangers managed to create this.
"Everyone is saying ""fuck spez"" but also logs onto Reddit multiple times a day to participate in place. Interesting."
ISAAC MADE IT!
Why are they bullying Spez so much?
He messed up this year's r/place by doing sensor
Felt good that the ponies survived multiple attacks
rip place 23. Reddit please wait a few years and find a way to stop bots before doing this again.
At least we got one “fuck spez” in there
fuck spez
FUCK u/spez
Over 15+ my little pony art pieces. Very nice
Amazing! Some real beautiful art in there my fucking weed leaf got painted over I’ll never find it and the alien chick with the weird boobs lmao insane man
The bots were strong with this one.
Fuck spez
There is an empty canvas.
The global leaderboard reflects the pixels placed by each redditor's country determined by their IP address.
But Canada made the greatest comeback by creating an actual maple leaf
"I was so very proud of them when I noticed it, they did well this year"
"Every one of the 4,113,160 pixels they placed went to the leaf... the dedication paid off"
Yea because people kept destroying it and thought haha funny they can't build leaf
"I won't lie, seeing some Canadians last year introducing themself as Bananians made me cry with laughter"
Banada this year also got me cackling
What we lack in Maple Leaf we make up for in Merple Lerf
"Last year we just gave up and started putting geese made of like, 6 pixels everywhere on the canvas"
Not all! Don’t forget the Québec flag and our all around 😎 sorry Canada but next time maybe you will be bigger 😉 (not)
I def spent a few on that charizard card when it appeared.
The Quebec flag was arguably more impressive with the 4 fleur de lis.
"It was nice, but it was only nice because no one gave a shit about Quebec. The maple leaf got the most attention from attackers due to last year. No one was attacking Quebec like Canada was getting it"
Nah the majority of canada pixels are from Québec
[removed]
That maple leaf was in the German Overlay aka got protected by the Vaterland :)

"Once the grieving slowed to a manageable rate we could finally get it sorted. It was never a question of people not knowing what the maple leaf looks like, it’s on like everything in Canada, but rather it being ruined by trolls. I still wish we could have gotten rid of that horrid anime figure, but small victories are still victories."
Once the grieving slowed
"Canada is the smallest country on the list by pop, we needed to hire security lol"
The same ones who tried to replace our flag with there’s?
"Nope. We indeed had some issues with right wing idiots, the intelligent part of Germany is very sorry for them."
"Lately it looks like that’s Russia’s problem now, Germany appears to have realized Europe wants to stay, I dunno, European"
Oh I wouldn’t say Germany is completely keeping the crowd down. The AfD is slowly becoming a problem for them.
"The tears of AfD-crybabies in the German Discord about the ""FCK AFD""-logo are sweet but annoying. 🤭"
I loved the fck AfD Rainbow when I saw it😂
"Mate, no one is worried about Germany popping off. You guys apologized, and atoned. The US and Russia are a bit concerning currently, and I'm a US citizen that lives within nuke range in San Diego. Not the top target, but definitely in the top 5."
"The Touhou community helped to maintain the Canadian flag after forming a treaty with the Canada subreddit. This was after rogue bots were used to expand the Canadian flag over our ""horrid anime figure"" art and overwrite it repeatedly."
That horrid anime figure? You mean the people animating a whole music video next to you while you guys were struggling with your leaf?
you mean you didn't appreciate Famous Canadian Historical Figure Reimu Hakurei?
not without our help
It was truly a team effort that allowed Canada to FINALLY have their flag.

Have people started getting them yet?

Nice

Mad respect lmao
"Haha I got that message too, forgot to get a screenshot and can't find it now"
"What message? I mean I got shadowbanned as in my pixels disappear immediately after I place another, nobody can see my pixels, and when I reload the app they look like they were never placed. And I made sure I was placing in empty spots, I even had friends go to my exact coords to check if my pixel was placed."
"Oh. I just got a warning message saying that my account had been noted trying to place a nipple pixel, and that action would be taken if further such behaviour continued"
How does it know it's a nipple and not a freckle?
Dont have mine yet and i made damn sure i got them
It took a few days last year iirc
My 69 y.o. what-if-I-delete-the-internet mum placed two. For some reason she already knew what a pixel is and wanted to participate in some shenanigans. I'm still confused as to why she knows what a pixel.

"The time the canvas closed/went into fade-out was perfectly timed for a German final push, less so for the US. 😎"
"That true, we were all surprised that an American company ended it during the US workday"
"So were we, we expected it to be greyscale for at least another 6 hours, but nope, 20mins"
"I wouldn’t be surprised if it was planned to end later that day on American time, but I guess, that maybe, the giant"
you mean like he called for the mods when the french showed them what we think of him?
I found it astounding btw that none of the mods seemed to have any problem with our German banner against spez.
"well, ours was ""just"" an insult, while the other could be seen like a death threat. i guess thats why they were against it."
Well yeah I get that… but we … how did that newspaper article put it? „Made questionable suggestions about the kind of work his mother was earning her livelihood with“?
I agree with this fuckery
Maybe it was supposed to be greyscale for 6 hours until they saw what the final act was going to be. Then they thought they could just white out all the evidence before it materialized completely.
consideting how we were only 2nd place on a few days I was expecting overall 2nd place as well.
The lowered cooldowns for the whiteout sure helped to take over.
Don't forget that the US has more than four times our population

Ein Land. Eine Wand. Eine Kommentarwand
"I, a German who hasn’t done shit for this to happen, am very proud of this small country to be better than the US"
You helped by keeping our GDP up while every other German put pixels instead of working.
"Jokes on you, I work and place pixels the same time. Well, atleast I get paid, working might look very different from what I am doing"
"Crazy that The Netherlands isn't on the board, I saw them all over too"
"Germanic unity, they worked with the Germans after last year's subreddit wars and the peace of ik_ihe\ich_iel"
Stuhl!
"They had an alliance with us (the germans), and we helped them out a lot. Maybe that's why it didn't count as many pixels for them."
We germans build 90% of their flag ans defended it. Even on our expanding plans they were included. But they did build most of their artwork themself

"nah, morocco isnt here, they did forget about the bots"
the Moroccan bots were most likely hosted in the US so by IP address they would count as US pixel

We wanted to win a war against the US at least once
"Holy The Germans did it, didn't think they would make it"
I called in sick to work for this on the last day. So it had to pay off.
"As a German I am proud. But the showdown being from 8pm to 11pm here in Germany with the reduced cooldown helped us a lot. Would it have been 6 hours later, we would be second I guess."
german artists were in the r/place
Vietnam really reach top 5 in only the last 2 days.

Für den Stuhl
Holy cow. The difference between 2nd and 3rd is insane. Almost 10 million???
"To me it’s the germans being that much active that’s surprising, Reddit is mainly american so the difference between US and France is normal, and probably greater in the active user count since french users were also very active just not as much as germany because they had less members on their subs and discord servers, streamers, some didn’t participate like a popular streamer of french r/place, Kamet0, refered as their general by some"
the germans worked hard

Ay siblings in skullfuckery!
Rest in Peace Technoblade
It was great to see the international community come together for this.
The one thing that brings together all of reddit is everyone joining together to make a giant fuck spez on r/place
"Sure, drive those site engagement numbers up! That'll show him!"
Anime osu saved Canada!.
That was the touhou community if I understand correctly
Ronaldo would like a word
r/place is probably the only thing that can make everyone unite against a person right now
The war in Ukraine has united a ton of people against Putin over the past year or so.
Bad people unite people.
This is literally the entire plot behind the watchmen.
I am tired of earth.. these people
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
"The western world only makes up for barely 10% of the world population. The majority of second/thirld world countries, African and Asian countries support Russia and Putin."
"Most non-western countries are neutral in this war, that doesn‘t mean they support putin, they just exploit the political situation for their own gain as much as possible… which they should"
"Just because someone is not the US, that doesn't automatically make them a good person or a good leader."
"Reddit or Spez doesn't give a rat's ass... reddit is all about traffic, if getting that in there and 'letting it' be part of the canvas has people talking about reddit in any way, that is good for traffic."
"Yeah, but it's funny that it's made its way to news headlines and the Wikipedia page."
Source PLEASE.
Just look it up yourself.
fuck u/spez
There are some battles they can't win
fuck I didn't know this was a thing that was gonna happen or I would have participated in it.
Same.
They did cut it off if you go to place a tile it spits you out conveniently at 124:56 right before the Fuck spez ending. Reddit conveniently loads JUUUSSSSTT before the end.
"Huh? Do you mean when you go to the history it defaults to before it? Cause the whiteouts never been included in the ""final canvas"" photo, it would make sense it wouldnt default to the fuck spez no?"
Someone should count how many times it said it
Democracy prevails!
It's like the the end screen at the end of a movie
I love stories with a happy ending!
The fade out made for a great callback to wrap it up.
Yeah😆
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
Love it. Glad they didn't cut it off.
The whiteout was legendary with how united everyone was. Perfect ending.
"For how shit place was, this was amazing"
yeah the person that was botting the discord links and other images was a real ass
You realize that last fuck spez was mostly bots right?
"Yes, but it was coordinated among the bot owners and the other users. If it wasn't, the letters wouldn't have had time to form due to the mass whitening of the canvas."
If it was bots it would’ve formed almost instantly. I also checked whilst it was forming and the accounts looked legit for the ones I saw
"More to the point, if it were bots they would have worked on more than one character at a time. That's not what happened, though - it was done one character at a time."
"on the german discord stage we coordinated that lettering (we had a few streamers in there, too that forwarded our focussings, also 6.5k listeners were directly there, too) those final hours were really intense..."
Didn't people use a plugin to see where to place each pixel? its pretty much botting but you have a human do the mindless placing instead
"So, it's not botting, it's people coordinating an image."
"We saw bots cover over things in seconds. The final “fuck spez” took much much longer to build, even with the decreased wait time. Not bots."
"People fucking cry bots about everything. No, it was not bots. You didn't participate in any community, did you? If you did you would know how easy it is to coordinate something like this and also know how it looks like when the bots actually make something."
You realize literally EVERYTHING you saw in this timelapse was mostly bots right?
Source: made it up
"No bot had the level of power needed to place any where near what would be a large portion of the sign, that would have required way more accounts than a bot would have been able to really handle"
Papaplatte stream
Is that why I never got my badge???
Does anyone have a badge yet? It probably takes a few days.
If they give them out this time lmao
Right? Wouldn't be surprised if they take badges away next.
Me neither
sigh my first r/place was shit now I don’t even get a badge for it either :(
i think you have to wait a few days
It’s the lack of my pixel
"United we stand, divided we fall"
"(We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall)"
How kind of them not censoring the fuck spez texts
I guess they didn't want to further damage PR. It's already on the Wikipedia page for r/place. It probably wouldn't look good if the article talked about them censoring the video of it.
"I highly doubt Reddit execs are concerned about ""fuck spez"""
It wouldn't surprise me if they were mulling over ideas to peddle Fuck Spez merchandise. They don't care if you use profanity on Reddit or hate one of their people...
"i bet if reddit did actually start celling fuck spez merchandice, all the protesters would buy them while still ranting about how much they hate spez"
"For sure. Reddit has turned this protest into a meme. A meme that has generated increased activity among a protest that should naturally be boycotting the website to effectively make a point. A meme that the protest can rally around so they might say ""Well I don't need to quit Reddit. Fuck Spez, is that not enough?!"""
You guys are talking about different groups of people. People who bitched about the 3rd party app thing arent automatically hypocrites because tons of other redditors participated in Place. Laughing at reddit as a whole like it's one hypocritical monolith is just goofy
Reddit has turned this protest into a meme.
It's worked before
It wouldn't surprise me if they were mulling over ideas to peddle Fuck Spez merchandise.
That would be fucking hilarious
bad publicity = good publicity
I think they're hoping most people that don't already know about spez are just going to shrug it off not knowing who spez is. And I think they're kinda right. I don't think advertisers know spez's Reddit username.
"It's been reported in the media. If they read any news about Reddit, they will discover it."
I'm curious how would that turn out for them if they did that
I'm gonna say badly.
Yes
"When users made that giant guillotine falling on the Reddit logo, was that not basically deleted by the admins? It goes away all at once to white, and the users I saw contribute to clearing it had all never posted..."
Totally missed this. Where was it on the image and in the time lapse?
Bottom left on the French flag. Later replaced by a rocket after being covered up by admins
Thank you!
Why would they? Reddit doesn’t give a shit about the protest and vast majority of people who partook in the fuck spez protest don’t legitamately give a shit about the API changes or who spez is either.
"because it doesnt fucking do anything. Here's an idea: if you really want change, and I know it may sound crazy, but get off reddit. There are tons of alternatives out there."
"Yea, besides just making it bigger and bigger until no one can see it right? At least, that what it felt like. What they don't know is how united reddit is in hating sped spez"
"Don‘t worry they know perfectly well, they just don‘t care because as long as you stay here it doesn‘t matter"
And I still watched the bad apple animation despite there being a separate post for it.
Same😆
"do you have a link to it? i couldn’t stop watching, i was blown away!"

A brief Sexual Revolution in the West.
“I regret that I have but one account to give my for my Shego tits.”
What was the false flag op? Did they do something to the UA flag?
"They were going to random countries flags and extending them so that others would think they were the ones doing it and start shit, at one point a streamer attempted to extend the US flag (at around 1:12 in the video) into Mexico, luckily the organizers were all in contact so no actual conflict was started"
"Same guy tried the same thing later but with the UK on the new US flag. Not sure what he was trying, we immediately figured out it was him"
The lack of Falklands in this summary was disappointing
"There were in the Argentinian flag, then the UK attacked them while they were sleeping. They didn't put it again in their flag until another expansion where UK was above the Argentina flag, so in the end they both made a memorial for those who died in the Falklands/Malvinas conflict between the two flags."

i love the unity for all of us to unite and say fuck spez

u/spez ist ein Hurensohn
The areas that were animated is so cool. Is that botting or actual human coordination?
The Bad Apple at least was human coordination.
Bad Apple!! did not use any bots. They made an overlay to tell people where and when they should make changes manually.
This was so cool to watch. Despite some raids it managed to put up a good show!
Dead heads don’t need a bot to get a stealie on there
We didn’t need bots. We just needed 8 guys and 5 days to sort of make it look symmetrical.

I totally learned a new sentence in German from this. Like I can understand this and it’s amazing.
I think we can all agree that the bad apple animation was the highlight of r/place this year. r/touhou really outdid themselves
"The first few days, Bad Apple was the only thing to actually look at since it was just “Oops, all flags: the r/place”"
where's the touhou?
👏👏👏
Can we just talk about the consistent animation by the osu logo. Like holy shit.
That would be bad apple! It was alot of work and some of us working on it didn't sleep until it ended lol
Absolutely unreal. Congrats !
I keep rewinding to watch it it’s so cool
this already feels like 5 weeks ago
"Damn, they included the last giant FUCK SPEZ in their official timelapse. Impressive."
"It would be a lot more negative PR if they censored or removed it. It's not nice, it's smart."
"You can watch all the struggles, attacks, defenses and movements of The Blue Corner. At the end, the Blue Corner gained its place for its 3rd consecutive event."

Before the whitening. Bots were writing stupid things on the canvas and a Kirby with glasses that looked horrible.
"yeah that was the same kid who did the shotbow bots, he or some other ppl did that stupid yellow plushie, wheelchair sign, jermas face and the multiple discord links, it was annoying"
Oh I thought you meant the white out
"Nah, that was totally planned."

At least there was Bad Apple!!
"Touhou fans are wild, man. The dedication to make the entirety of bad apple"
"For the timelapse in a high resolution, see https://place.ifies.com/2023/"
Thanks! Do you know if you can access all img files here? I'm trying to do a specific timelapse
"I'm building a dataset for all image files, but if you just want the list of URLs, see https://mod.ifies.com/f/230725_reddit_rplace_2023_urls.txt.xz"
"Thanks! In the end I'll use the site and record directly, but I'm interested in the images!"
"Seeing r/bluey come from a little piece of side art last year to almost smack in the middle, staying strong the whole way through, was a sight to behold."
"God damn, what community made the little animation? Really cool."
"It was The touhou people, basically everything around there was their own little corner"
That animation is called Bad Apple. It even syncs with the music its supposed to have in the official music video of the animation really well. You can find a lot of comparison videos between the r/place animation and the original animation on Youtube. Ive seen like 3 in my recommended alone. Truly insane.
"That’s Bad Apple, touhou & osu collaborated to animate it."
You can see just how much harassment the Turkish flag got. Love how it transitioned into the blue version during the night on that last day though. Like all men have two sides.
They were trying to turn it into the Greek Flag 💀
"Turkey made things even worse for themselves when they decided to expand over technoblade and the vtuber community, the later even had a peace deal with them that Turkey broke. These communities all had ties with other big communities too, so retaliation was inevitable."
The problem was that there was no overarching Turkish management like we had last year. No streamers stepped in to manage all the deals and herd the flock. It was literally
"The clear botting is crazy, but I'm glad we could all come together and agree ""fuck spez"""
"Yeah it's called Bad Apple, the original animation was meant to show every character from the game series Touhou Project up to that video's release (think Strikers 1945 but with hot chicks instead of planes)"
"One thing is completely wrong on the canvas……
🇩🇪DB being so fast there"
Jesus the ponies got attacked so many times.
"Did they get attacked 50 times like Genshin? 51 times we rebuilt that, then remade it in greyscale, then had to get rid of it at the end"
Yeah. Happened a lot. We rebuilt.
I salute you. I don't get the attacks on others artworks
I just want my horses out there.
"Haha, if I was on this a few years ago I would've done the same. MLP was great"
"I am loving the fact that Bad Apple is being played, even though I’ve never played Touhou before."
Fuck Spez.
Fuck Spez
Fuck Spez.
Fuck Spez.

Nice.
It’s so satisfying how by the end of r/place everyone united together and said “FUCK SPEZ” before it all went away. And most especially considering the PR guys didn’t cut it off at all.
If only it was in 4K. I could see my small teams work.
https://place.ifies.com/2023/#x1499y957z1
Bad apple animation is still the winner of this r/place.
touhou fans are actually deranged what the fuck
"What a masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful work, everyone."
It's beautiful ;D
I would have been more fun without bots
Im genuinely impressed that the internet respected the Technoblade art and didnt ruin it. Rest in peace Technoblade.
Brazil is like a animation bro lol
The German and French flags everywhere irk me to no end. Wish there was a little more creativity.
Oh wait the giant fuck spez was real lmao
fuck u/spez
Fuck you and I’ll see you next year!
"The big whiteout where everyone was united to write out ""Fuck Spez"" across all the canvas... What a moment of unity lol. I was there, it was epic."
im just looking at bad apple
The ending is awesome. Perfect.
Bad Apple just chillin
"Yo, whoever did the animated tiny black and white box fucking wins."
That would be Touhou fans
Well a toast to them. It was the most impressive thing to me and took up a small amount of real estate to boot.
Plus they were being attacked by Canada the whole time lol
"if you look very closely in the corner of osu!, you can see bad apple"
"That bad apple animation tho, awesome"
Anyone notice bad apple?
If there’s a screen bad apple will be scene
I really like the bad apple part! How do ppl have the same idea and make something out of it? How does it work??
Collaboration and a lot of planning beforehand
"Bad Apple has a reputation for being played on everything, it's the ""but can it run DOOM?"" of music, which is why people got the idea in the first place."
God huge congratz to everyone who worked on the bad apple animation. It plays so well and smooth
Bad Apple went hard
My eyes just keep focusing on the bad apple animation.
Can't believe we were able to coordinate bad apple without just getting consumed by some void like everything else.
i contributed to bad apple!! in r/place 2023
Didn't realize bad apple was playing in the 2hu area.
Look at Bad Apple go
Mfs was making animations
I love how immortal the blue corner is. We fought for our lives on several occasions and won.
"The big ""FUCK SPEZ"" followed by the Reddit logo is just hilarious to me."
The fuck spez straight into the Reddit logo is hilarious
Bad Apple casually playing among all the war and terror
"I love how when they expanded the canvas ln the right side, the huge Fuck Spez appear instantly lol"
IS THAT BAD APPLE PLAYING IN A TINY SQUARE LOL
The fact that the dying breath of r/place was the WHOLE board saying the same thing at the same time
Nobody talk about how smooth the bad apple was?
The black and white animated pictures throughout the whole thing 🤯🤯🤯 fucking how
did anyone else notice that little white and black animation
Watching Canada try to make the maple leaf is hilarious
Who else saw the Bad Apple video?
AYO BAD APPLE?
Holy shit that bad apple animation… the juxtaposition of that vs Canada being unable to make a leaf is just chef’s kiss lmfao
The bad apple animation was incredible
Lmfao the fuck spez at the end
Ist u/spez ein Hurensohn? Ja
They split milk all over Yotsuba...
Poor Dominican republic
Nah they were attacking others first
u/savevideo .....oh wait....that's right.
Grabbed my copy from https://redditsave.com/
I get your point but this is such a low quality version you wouldn't want to save it anyways. There are much higher quality versions available.
So we’re just gonna ignore the FUCKING ANIMATION??!
"Everyone knows about Bad Apple and agrees it's the definitive winning art piece of Place 2023. It's one thing to make a stationary art piece even if it was large/full of detail (any streamer with a decent sized audience can do that) but quite another to painstakingly recreate 6,566 frames from pure human effort alone so that it animates on the time-lapse. It took months of prep work (planned ever since Place 2022), gathering enough people to help on the animation with Osu! and Hatsune Miku subreddits being main contributors, and putting in the time while avoiding getting attacked by other communities but the Touhou community pulled it off."
We all put aside our differences to spell fuck spez at the end
Deutschland
u/spez ist ein hurensohn.
This year I familiar with r/place first time but it was worth it
That animation next to the OSU is fire!🔥
the bad apple is really impresssive
Germany🔛🔝
The void eating that face looked so cool
"Super proud of my fellow members of r/Christianityspace for building the cross even through all the oppression from Rubius. An underdog story, but in the end, we came out on top."
Bad Apple was the best thing here.
"Yeah, made even better when people using bots tried to copy it and failed"
The constant battle to remove Shego’s clothing is hilarious to watch
Gotta love how U/SPEZ IST EIN HURENSOHN was constant and untouched till the very end.
"honestly the ""fuck spez"" sign is visually appealing"
I still love the bad apple one
sooo anyone ever discover who did the final bot attacks and why or? i was fighting for my life in there lmao
The one around the Vietanm area was a group who hated the streamer who created the Vietnam image
"oh yea i heard, so mean. I meant the final kirby / dog / random writings"
German flag just blitzing the new Lebensraum.
France is number 2 enemy right behind bots. Y’all making yourselves a huge target by taking up too much space. Next year I’m making a group specifically to make art in your flag area.
Wow people must really hate this spez guy
komi went from grayscale to colour to grayscale again
I don't like the whiteout at the end. It would've been cool to have the final image be saveable to be able to zoom in and examine all the pieces endlessly
it is.
Where
when u go to main r/place it shows the canvas with a slider that lets to go to almost any point in time during the entire event
Oh nice ty
r/place this year is an unwise move but still leaves me so much emotion. Especially bad apples and Vietnamese expanding event.
Fuck u/spez and the dumbfuck reddit admin team
"Lotta Germany, anyways all I wanted was to see bad apple play, good job r/touhou"
You know there was multiple internal discussions on if how to deal with the FUCK SPEZ in this and other contexts.
Another year. Another failed attempt to draw the canadian flag
So spez thought place would distract us from all the shit? How the turntables!
It’s been fun but now you must do a last fuck u/spez
"Yeah, actually we are all fueling reddit and u/spez with more money. They are laughing there heads off. I know I am myself fault being on reddit and kinda know that its going to be another platform than before. But of course human is an animal of habit and that is the problem with us all I guess."
I hope spez/reddit got the message
"I would like a timelapse of just that Europe art, it seems Germany,UK and Turkey were going at it!"

Fuck u/spez
"Given how much space is dedicated to flags or flag based art, I wonder how a canvas would look if had no flags. No way we could get anyone to go along with that though. Especially the Germans."
fuck u/spez!
Who is the big green guy and the void monster with a bunch of eyes
The way Morocco just appears
I wonder if spez got the message?
"Auw the Charizard card didnt survive, it was such a nice piece of art"
fuck u/spez
the end was the best end we could ever get
Amazing end.
"İt started with fuck spez, ended with fuck spez"
fuck Spez prevails
"classic german end GAME, making the unoted ""FUCK SPEZ"" into a ""FUCK SPEZI""."
That Bad Apple Animation was so freakin cool
"This is one of the best projects i participate in my life!
We make a lot of new friends, this is the most important thing we make in this project"
There we go. The official Timelapse
i just love how bad apple is made manually instead of botting
If only I had an app that let me zoom in on the video however I wish.
That whiteout was fucking amazing lol
I'm sad that r/place is gone forever
"If you're looking for bad Apple, it's at north-west to ""OSU"" 's purple circle, it starts at the beginning of the entire time lapse"
Community is a wonderful thing
I have to ask... What did spez do?
Damn that little 'video' top left of OSU! is awesome.
How in the actual fuck did they coordinate bad apple?
Gänsehaut
"fastest FUCK SPEZ
u/Papaplatte did a good job with u/stegi"
FUCK SPEZ
Bro somebody made bad apple
Oh my god who animated bad apple in there 😭😭
Pretty much the only thing that survived to the end was the german for u/spez is a son of a b*tch lol
"Great. 
Fuck u/spez"
I like shocked how thet done the bad apple op😳
FUCK SPEZ
bad apple wins this year
"I'm in love with the long animation to the top left of the osu logo. Insane that people can coordinate stuff like that over days, whether it's bots or not. Which community was respnsible for that?"
"I know he did some things that are inexcusable...but could we maybe have a little less ""f**k Spez"" next year?"
I love how the bad apple in r/place turned out
I'm glad everyone finally knows how insane the touhou fandom is lol
I’m just focusing on the bad apple animation near Osu at the start
the bad apple animation is impressive
the entirety of bad apple playing is fucking legendary
I didn't realise until now that right at the end everyone just took over the entire canvas to right a massive F*ck spez omg 😂😂 and that's when it ended didn't let it finish haha
"The whiteout at the end reminds me when i visited some Buddhist monks who were traveling, resting at a local church, one of them was drawing an intricate artwork using sand. it was really beautiful, and once he was done, he just grabbed a broom and cleaned it up."
Watching Bad Apple now that it's finished is so satisfying. I love the touhou community.
"R/place starts and ends with the phrase ""f**k spez"" lmao"
Noice
No way I witnessed
Neat
"Awesome, I love doing this 💜"
"Obligatorisches ""Fick dich Spez"""
АФИГЕННО !!!!
u/nihonfang04 timelapse is better
I love how it ends with “FUCK SPEZ!”🤣
"Vaaamooooosss, la pichula se notaa"
Fuck u/Spez
My little porno was the best
The expansion for this year's canvas felt weird.
My 3 pixels are in there somewhere. And I'm proud of that.
Does anyone have the download of the canvas?
Insane
"Remember everyone, fuck spez"
Fuck u/spez
"Thank you, i hope you had Fun and enjoyed it like me,  and hopefully we will see ist the Next Time... And Fuck u/Spez"
brilliant ending
"fuck Spez, and this timelapse was good for once. Especially during certain moments in this place's life that seemed to stick to the left. And the Bad Apple animation was amazing, kudos to those people!"
The ending was beautiful.
"I am wholeheartedly, with all due respect and banana french fries. Fuck u/spez"
I love that the closing art for this year's place was a giant F Spez when in the beginning it was the most scattered message (until bots came)
epic
I was expecting the f spez to be censored but no. At least there's still some intergity left after the whole mess
F
🇹🇷🇹🇷💪
Fuck /u/spez
"The chaos, it’s soothing. It’s like the ultimate social experiment."
"The end is so satisfying, I've been replaying it over and over for five hours now."
What an amazing ending...
Fuck u/spez
I was there
u/savevideo
Fuck spez
overall place was fun this time around. even with all the boys I loved going around and fixing smaller communities. it was a bit long though...either way  GG everyone.
It’s all chaos and disorder until is comes to u/spez
Did anyone mention fuck spez yet?
:v
Bruh I need to know what this song is !
wheres the heat map?
They should’ve done fuck Biden or Putin.
The bad apple animation is so clean damn
I went in solo Lost a lot pf fights but in the end My banned made it to the end 💪😎 and iv made Internet history
The Reddit logo after the spez jumpscare had me dying
Where the fuck is shego??? They actually censored it out of the timelapse?
"It took me forever to scroll down through the comments before I found a single comment about Shego, people were too focused on all the fuck u/spez"
crazy how fast bots are.. wish they were regulated. fuck u/spez
FUCK SPEZ
"Thanks for the memories, see you guys next time!"
"Lol, fuck u/spez indeed"
Argentina's flag getting deleted 5 times 😂😂😂
It's a Canon Event Miles
Fuck u/spez
Idk know if I was the original but I put a blue dot next to pikachus mouth and from then on he was drooling 🤤
"Excluding all the Bots, Streamers and admin problems... This Years Place was quite enjoyable! Hope to see yall next year!"
streamers were def worse last year
"we came together and wrote giant fuck spezi, I think we did great job"
"I love some art but definitely this year was pretty boring, no chaos, no black hole..."
Fuck u/spez

u/spez ist ein hurensohn
de glory has ended
fuck u/spez
"Really great that Fuck Spez wasn't cut out. Reddit is special. So, Fuck Spez."
The Indians were obliterated several times but they got back up. Great spirit!
"what is ""FUCK SPEZ"""
"much less streamer activity this year, but now it was bot printers"
A fitting end to probably Reddit’s last good thing.
the fact that fuck spez is included in here makes me think that not even his own staff like him
"Most importantly, fuck u/spez"
Portugal was under-rated af.

"Well this place was a damn shit show, hope they don't make it an annual thing"
I like how no one destroyed the Technoblade Tribute.
Beauti-fucking-ful.
El gato inmortal
Everyone knows who spez is now.
"sips water publicly showing removal of free speech, my favorite"
I wish it was square like before
"Hell yeah🤘 Also, Fuck Spez🖕"
Für den Stuhl
no one talking about turkey destroying the memorials of Techno and Michi? ok then
First I’ve ever heard of this. How do we use it?
The PR stunt backfired in the best way possible. It was fun. Fuck Spez.
Turks taking over the technoblade moral was low
How do people even coordinate this I don’t understand
"Yes, fuck him"
FUCK SPEZ!

So that shitty OSU! was there the whole time. I knew it was bots. I kept trying to cover it up
missed white out
"It was an honor to be there with u guys. A few days to forget all the fuck up of the world, because u spent them with an awesome community."
manchild’s here saying fuck spez lol
I think everyone agrees with the “FUCK SPEZ” message
.
Canada tried so hard
Watching your country’s flag getting replaced and overridden by a meme:
"Fuck Spez and fuck this app. Who the fuck, in 2023, designs an app that has no 16:9 ability and in which you cannot pinch zoom inages or videos? RIF absolutely SHIT all over this useless, bloated piece of shit. FOR FREE WITH FUCK ALL ADS!"
Turkiye
Fuck u/spez
It's lovely seeing the lovecraftian horrors being built by cellbit's community
fuck u/spez
Thank you for the place but what are we supposed to do on Reddit now both the place and the 3rd party apps are gone?
Its like conway's game of life but with extra steps
