If it wouldn’t direct traffic to Reddit I would suggest we create a team and map to make the whole place just a simple “FUCK /U/SPEZ”

I'm quite certain there are already people planning to do just that.

That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.

Knowing that guy, he'll use his elevated admin permissions to remove it like he edited other people's comments.

"Protesting" a site by using it even more. I don't get it. If people are upset at reddit, the best way to demonstrate that is to STOP USING REDDIT.

Don't say "fuck u/spez," say "join Lemmy." The advertising worked out great for r/fuckcars last time.

The last r/place was already heavily monitored by moderators with the ability to place pixels without timers, indiscriminately ban anyone thought to be placing pixels in certain locations from participating, and bury discussions talking about either.

Not sure if they'd bother for this, I'd say it's 50/50 that any attempts to protest will be blacked out and the threads about them buried and/or isolated.

Currently there is a huge "u/spez ist ein Hurensohn" on the German flag, meaning "u/spez is a son of a bitch" (but exclusively derogatory).
