Tell them I said hello.

I’ve never considered this. This seems like a much safer way to “slash” a tire.

I keep seeing people talking about how this is to boost numbers and it’s direct relationship to their IPO. This seems simplistic and probably not entirely correct. I’m not going to pretend to understand the finer points of an initial public offering (there seems to be enough people pretending already) but I doubt there will be any one-to-one direct correlation between placing a pixel and putting one more penny in scrooge mcducks dragon hoard. Like, as if spez is saving up for a new bike, and if I don’t look at r/place today he’ll be a few cents short and I can twirl my mustache and villain laugh while a single tear rolls down his cheek.

Honestly boycotting or participating in protesting on reddit are likely equally futile from a change the world standpoint. Reddit is a building marked for demolition. It will be blown up and a big apartment building with no parking, a partial view, and moderate to high rent is going to be constructed in it’s place. The value of the real estate is the neighborhood, it doesn’t matter what furniture is currently in the building or what you wrote about the upcoming demolition in your letter to the editor. It’s getting torn down and rebuilt no matter what, and the people involved will be marginally richer than they already are. But it’s natural and honest to be upset and I support people expressing themselves however they see fit.
