There’s been a lot of controversy lately surrounding the protest actions over on r/place but having never been there myself I don’t understand what the purpose of the subreddit was originally, or why protesting users chose that specific subreddit to utilize, a breif explanation would be much appreciated ✌️

    Thanks guys for the explanation, strange, I’d been on Reddit for more than 10 years and I didn’t know about r/place

      Don’t feel bad about not noticing it, r/place is usually only accessible for around 72 hours. After that it goes away for a few years until someone way up the ladder decides to grace us with it’s presence again lol
