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

The first time they did it, it was fun. Now it is just bots doing everything.
