Obligatory fuck spez
FOOK OOEZI
I feel dumb because I stopped going on reddit a month ago so I have no idea how the dumpster fires smoldering…
I mean as the image obviously suggests, the community hasn’t forgotten all the previous actions of reddit (on command of u/spez)
I like how u/spez ist ein hurensöhn was still there last time I check
Spez is a Whoreson? I know literally 0 German but I’m confident that’s what that says
The translation that everyone knows which came from Google translate is spez is a son of a bitch, but I think whoreson might be more correct

The phrase “Sprich deutsch, du Hurensohn” (“Speak german, you son of a whore”) has evolved from an insult to somewhat of an insider meme in german subreddits. It was an answer to english comments flooding german subreddits and making communication difficult.
And now we basically can call anyone a Hurensohn and it now counts as transformative art lol
Yes… Son of a whore / son of a bitch
Spez is and will always be a hurensohn.
Continuing to rebel against the site by using the hell out of the site and driving its numbers up, I see. Have fun with that.
I am curious about this IPO, because I want to see what a clownshow their cash flow statement is likely to be.
The move should be amping it up as much as possible before the IPO and than crashing it when a high IPO is set. Fucking over anyone who could believe they could wrench out some cash from it.
I’m not giving them any traffic, thanks
Same. Which is why I enjoy the drama remotely here at Lemmy.
all my traffic goes into fuck spez works
Fuck spez is a meaningless message. Join-Lemmy.org however… 😎
Here’s the thing. Most people into the federated alternatives aren’t really going to the old place any more. I mean I’ll admit I’ve been taking a look at r/place every now and then. But otherwise I’m not engaging with my usual haunts there. That’s why there’s not so many people to make a big impact on the canvas for any of the federated projects.
However there are still a lot of people still active that are unhappy with spez and his activities. Which explains why that message has a lot more traction there.
Whats this new r/place everyone is talking of ?
From time to time reddit does a community project, where you have a canvas of 1000x1000 px and every user can set the color of a single pixel with a cooldown period of 5 minutes.
I believe it had the origin in a legend that some guy in the old web sold ad space on a 1000x1000 px canvas for 1$ per pixel and got rich with it.I believe it had the origin in a legend that some guy in the old web sold ad space on a 1000x1000 px canvas for 1$ per pixel and got rich with it.
Not so much a “legend” as an easily verifiable known thing that happened which is still online.
But they are giving us traffic! (There’s a join-lemmy.org message in the middle of the canvas)
it’s under constant attack
Salty admins if I had to guess
I helped!
Nice to see more people liking our creation. If you would like to check out our Lemmy banner, I posted it here.
We’re actually in the center of the map next to one of the most popular artworks as well.
how did they censor? i saw so much fuck spez that didn’t seem to get censored at all.
Bots. People just built it back.
that’s nice, also f*ck u/spez
now there’s a big “FUCK U/SPEZ” sign
I like that the S is a $
Whoever decided to turn the S into a dollar sign is a fuccin artist wwwwww

oh is it already white pixel time?
yeah, r/place is about to end
Feels too soon bruh
Feels too soon bruh
I’m not kidding, this is my favorite thing I’ve ever seen
Absolutely glorious, I’m actually proud of those poor sad bastards
So, uh, reddit added OCR with banned words but allows flags, or what’s going on?
Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.
On a side note, I’m pleased to see that the void demon is looking beautiful as ever. Easily the best actually original idea/artwork to have come out of there.
Is that what’s in the top right?
Will lemmy ever get it’s own /place?
It’s admittedly not a very difficult project, it was done pretty quick for an April Fools event in 2017. Honestly it could be a good coding challenge because the basics themselves are easy, it’s just how you build it at scale. So you just need someone to make a new Lemmy community, a new website, and have a lot of people get hyped about it so that it becomes the ‘one’ for Lemmy. Ludwig hired one dude to write a clone for his stream, so there just has to be someone who has the time, energy, and care to make one for this community.
The issue is mainly that everyone will have different clients, so it may not be properly supported. It would be very simple to have someone login to a custom website that would allow you to place your square, but it wouldn’t be seamless like reddit’s implementation is.
I hope so. And I hope Spez doesn’t have an account for that matter many accounts.
Probably not but it would be cool. Thought I’d rather like something else instead of lemmy trying to copy that from reddit 1:1
For now, There’s rplace.live

Very very unlikely. Considering the underlying point of Lemmy is that it is decentralized, the devs would have to add something similar and possibly every instance would have it’s own place.
Probably not, but there are already open source projects that allow people to host their r/place lookalikes. Some lemmy instance admin could some day decide to host one of those, but it wouldn’t be part of lemmyNet’s code.
