Yes, but also no.

At the end of a r/Place event the palette changes, and you can only place white pixels.

So yes, you could use a bot to write it again; but no, in reality you wouldn’t be writing anything.

Everyone who left reddit or significantly reduced their time on reddit returning to constantly refresh a page advertisers won’t see that says “fuck spez” is helping to boost Reddit’s numbers. This isn’t just about whatever number of people left reddit for Lemmy.

You’re just driving up traffic and engagement on reddit, at a time when Huffman desperately needs to convince advertisers that reddit still has a lot of traffic. It’s saving the company financially.

So yeah, not a great protest.

But that’s not true, all of those things were there at launch. It was just reddit gold, which got you a month of premium along with all those perks.

It was never intended to build upon the original sorting mechanism, it was intended to be a super upvote that granted the receiver elevated privileges. It used to get you into an exclusive subreddit, turn off the ads, and give you discounts at stores across the internet. But then people memed on it and the admin decided to indulge the memes.

I wouldn’t bother writing replies to a bot, but if it makes you feel better.
