r/place being filled with API protest signs would be really hilarious
But isn't that just giving Reddit more traffic and doing exactly what spez wants us to do? 
Oh I wouldn't give spez the satisfaction of me giving him traffic. I'm more talking about the redditors who are still there for some reason.
Fair enough!
Use an ad blocker and the traffic is of little value to them. Especially if it only goes to /r/place and doesn't allow to create much of a profile.
Me right now:
You know admins can easily remove anything drawn there. They are trying to bring traffic back, because of the upcoming IPO.
They also did remove stuff last time. Was a shitshow
I think with the amount of things people are planning to draw the canvas is going to look pretty empty if they remove all of them. Plus, if you wrote something like "API" in small letters everywhere on the canvas they'd have a hard time keeping up
I went easy on myself. I vowed to never comment or post on that account... buuuut I didn't say I wouldn't place any dots in protest.
Hmmm I wonder if the V O I D will win out this time.
I've been working with some other people on discord. The plan is to spam the entire canvas with tiny API's like amogus was last time. We've got it down to 4x7 pixels
Can you share the current design?
41 API/7?
I don't think the 4, 7 or cyan bars are part of the design -- they're just illustrating that the whole design is 4x7 pixels.
Anyone over there using the service and still trying to protest are just lost.
They already went through the hard part PR wise
Perhaps some will try plaster LEMMY across the board. Who knoes.
It would be a shame if someone conspired to coordinate such a thing...
Would be even better if we did our own on lemmy.
