Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.

      That would require logging into Reddit. I have a feeling this is to boost clicks for a really poor months performance so they can say “look 3rd party apps being dead is fine!”

        I mean, its pretty transparent attempt by spez to boost.interactions with the site, but that won’t stop people from doing exactly what spez wants them to do.

        True but surely a full page spez hate graphic wouldn’t do well for them.

          Lol. It wouldn’t make a dent.

          Truth is the people shouting “fuck Spez” is a small minority.

          Everyone knows about Reddit. Not very many are that invested to care.

        Tbf, I don’t recall r/Place ever working on 3rd-party clients.
