    Then why bother protesting ANYTHING at this point?

    The protest failed, you need to accept that. You sound really emotionally invested in R. So nothing I say will likely change that.

    I am saddened that r is over for me, but honestly the 2 or 3 hours a day freed up by that has made me not even want to go back.

    Anyway, I am going to follow my own advice and stop talking about it. Time to go for a walk.

      Lol no. I’m definitely not invested. I just deleted the account I made for r/place literally half an hour ago and uninstalled the app.

      I also don’t believe the protest failed because killing reddit was never my goal nor expectation. We’re on lemmy/kbin. That’s a win. There are people who think the way to win is to bring down reddit, but imho that’s simply impossible.

      Enjoy your walk. :)

      Unfortunately I can’t because there’s a storm here. :(

        Holy shit, you made a new account and installed the official app when they started /r/place again?

          Yeah. It’s not that hard. And it’s not like there weren’t thousands (I’m not even exaggerating - it’s probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands) 1-karma 1-day-old accounts there for bots. So no, i did not cause reddit’s traffic to skyrocket, if that’s what you’re trying to get to.
