r/place is by its mechanisms an incentivization of terminally online behaviour. To really get shit done an entire community must be glued to one app every five minutes.

So I ask, with the growing communist movement, how are we being beaten out on r/place? It’s a mixture of heavy red scare tactics, timing (r/place starts back up after removing its largest ML community? Sussy), and the communist movement’s roots in REALITY.

As much as it would be cool to get some ML shit into digital history with this iteration of r/place, our lack of representation is not a negative, but a positive, showing that a majority of our actors are NOT terminally online.

Of course anarchists, radlibs, and fascists, have the strongest grip on r/place, they don’t have a life. As the western ML movement grows, so does the ultra left and reactionary right, but our ratio of activist to armchair revolutionary (at least in this sample size) is very promising.

So, in essence, fuck r/place, our lack of representation is for the better, as we can get a grip on the REAL WORLD better as these chuds place pixels into swastikas.

    Yeah, it’s dumb, and I don’t like how it activates addictive behavior, especially as someone with OCD.

      I didn’t participate in the first one, this time I dropped one pixel trying to help draw the hammer & sickle and it was immediately changed by someone else so I was like whatever this is stupid. 5 minutes later I get an alert on my phone from the reddit app: “Hey you can drop another pixel!!” fuck off

        Uninstall the official Reddit app and get something that isn’t infested with ads. Apollo for iOS is fantastic. I’ve heard redditisfun is good on Android.

          I can recommend Infinity for Reddit for Android. But I stick to the front-end teddit.net because I don’t have a Reddit account, it’s usable from a mobile browser, no ads and or loads much faster. To use it change reddit.com in a URL with teddit.net.

          I’ve used BaconReader Premium before on android. It was a good client with a healthy mix of sane defaults and customization options.
