Neoliberals shouldn't have nice things. No, not even pixels.

      Absolutely, what made r/place was its spontaneity, the absolute chaos that still persists even when people finally organize. The void, the rainbow road that started out as a 4chan false flag, the country flags fighting each other before settling into each mixing with each other in solidarity, the windows 95 taskbar, the unregistered hypercam, the giant Osu ball pissing the shit out of everyone.

      If the first Place was old internet then the second Place would be web 2.0. Aesthetically better but lacking in creativity, meticulously planned, and predictable.

        Yup. It was a fantastic little thing while it lasted, and was unlike anything done before. But you can't just do it again, that's not how these things work. It'll never be the same. The only way to do it again is to come up with a new cool thing for people to be surprised by.

          It will be like Burning Man: the next times around will be more soulless and more walled off and pre-ordained by the ruling class.

        Thanks to the lathe, there will now be a third Place and it will be Web 3.0, NFTs and all. :agony-minion:

    without a bot and a mess of IPs, I bet the reddit hitlerjugend will make this a real nightmare

    "Although we only have 132k members, we are one of the most active subreddits in terms of comments per day."

    Of course that bazinga brain ends in "mate." Surprised he didn't mention le epic bacon wrapped in deep fried mac and cheese "sammich" and washing it down with whiskey while "autopilot" carries him around in his Tesla. :brainworms:

      Although we only have 132k members, we are one of the most active subreddits in terms of comments per day.

      huh I wonder why this is. That and the fact that Fort Eglin is the most reddit-addicted city. No idea. Truly an unsolved mystery both of them :thinky-felix:

      Their daily discussion threads are the same dozen or so losers posting 200+ times a day.

    We had a nice sized square of a variety of communist, anarchist, and other allied stuff last time. Im expecting the same. My first focus is fucking up anything the Fins do. Backstabbing bastards.
