Since reddit is like 90% bots these days. Do you think these events are catering to the bots since this event is 100% bots? Do you think the bots are gaining sentience?
Either way, just ignore reddit's attempt to draw people back or seem "cool"

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Really surprised there aren't more/any swastikas in the stars of the US flag
It's basically bots vs admins now. Most pixels are places by new accounts or by entities without accounts at all.
The highlight this year is going to be that animation by the Osu! I think.

you can see the eness stream of black dots harassing the LGBT flag.
I'm glad I finally found someone referencing this. It made me so sad to see. I really feel like this wave of anti LGBTQ+ sentiment is spreading and all from a fucking pointless culture war started by absolute morons.

I really want to keep updated on this, bit don't want to visit Reddit at all. Is there a way for me to do it other then relying on some one here posting it?
Last year there were twitch streamers getting their followers to make pictures for them, so maybe check twitch?

Ironic, by engaging with the website they end up promoting it far more than any "fuck spez" could harm it, assuming that is their intended goal.
I don't like how all of this complex capitalistic greed that can be seen time and time again all got turned into hate for a single person.
I mean, I don't like the guy either, and I don't like the actions of reddit, but boiling it down to one single insult repeated over and over is childish. I'm quite happy that r/save3rdpartyapps has such a big spot, that's a much better avenue for the discussion of this topic
I could see “join lemmy” and “join kbin” actually being useful too.
Wasn't it an event for the 1st of April? Why is it going on right now?

The only stunt I liked was the button. The separation that was manufactured just cracked me up.
Where my fellow neverpressers at?

Since I've updated the main post picture, here's the original I uploaded (with less cut off)
Update. Open in new tab to see full resolution.
BONER KEBAB
the admins are using their powers to remove things.
Why would the admins expect anything different? Are they really that out of touch?
I don't think they care about what goes onto the canvas as much as they care about the increased traffic this brings. How many reddit refugees are going back just to vandalize /r/place? Even if that demographic is relatively small, this still drives up engagement from all demographics, and the greedy little pig boi needs those numbers for his IPO. I'm guessing he's going with "any publicity is good publicity".
