    My guess is Reddit is doing this to temporarily raise traffic. It’s like rage bait. They know they’re pissing people off and protestors will flood the site, but traffic is traffic. If they can demonstrate engagement it must be good enough for the upcoming IPO.

      Right? I don’t understand why people on the fediverse are getting excited about this. At best, Reddit will have admins to insta-wipe anything objectionable. At worst, Reddit will point to the increased engagement as a sign that the protesters gave up and came back.

          That’s genius honestly. The void should win this year

            Last Week Tonight is on break so The Void should be available for engagements.

            I recall watching the The Void form in a timelapse and just how it consumed everything around it.

      Anyone would see that a one time event engagement doesn’t solve anything, you cannot do the r/place every week…
