    I see this as silly. This is like refugees going back to their home country to have a parade about the country they fled too.

    Was r/place expected to return before the reddit bull shit? Or is this a pr stunt to get people to forget the latest reddit shitery?

      It’s more like going back to tell people where they can leave to somewhere else, that’s better. Personally I wouldn’t go back at all (nuked my account), but power to em for trying.

      Datamining indicated this was supposed to take place on reddit’s birthday last month, but was postponed - likely because of the protests. I bet the figured it died down enough to go ahead, and were wrong.

      PR sorta…more like a short term solution to promote engagement.
