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.

I was looking forward to the next version of r/place in a couple years. Now it’s just utterly pathetic pandering to attempt to bring disaffected users back to the site

    Neither am I, I do kinda wanna know the general consensus of this, cause r/place was cool when it was on April 1st after several years between, now it’s just over a year in between on a random Wednesday.

    Someone posted a reddit link to the announcement earlier. The comments were some variation of "bring back.third party apps", "API", "fuck /u/spez", "this is obvious pandering to drive traffic" or debates about how best to vandalize the canvas. And a lot of German people saying German things for some reason lol. The comments there are actually pretty similar to the comments in this thread, minus the Germans
