There seem to be rumors that reddit wants to do another r/place on 23rd of June to celebrate its 18th birthday and to distract from the API situation.

Might be fun to do one ourself beforehand and if succesfull (maybe by pulling in streamer communities again) it could get more people to join lemmy

do you think it might be able to have something simmilar here on lemmy/feddiverse?

I can't imagine that going the way they expect.

    yeah i saw that info posted 3 days ago before the Blackout on the redditisfun subreddit. At that time it might have still looked like a good idea. At the current time i don't think it is.

    No idea if it would end well in the future though, i could see the protest keep relevance, but it might aswell blow over or lose traction. This is also why I believe that it could be good if the protest had a community event on the side to generate more publicity on the side. It might drag in some international influencer/streamer communities like last time aswell.
