Totally not suspicious timing at all.
Also if you’re willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They’re not fooling anyone.
Someone’s already made a subreddit to coordinate using it for protest https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaceAPI/ (likely more than one, this is just the one I saw)

What fresh hell is this
I almost can’t believe it. Now they’re just like Twitter, gotta log in to view the shit you want.
They didn’t “review” subs when there was one using images of children as child pornography, without the subjects knowledge or consent.
They didn’t “review” subs when mask-off, far-right extremists moved in and started trading slurs and writing murder fantasies.
They didn’t “review” subs when reactionaries were spreading dangerous and clearly false medical misinformation in the middle of a pandemic.
But they’ll review subs when those subs might be a threat to their revenue.
I’m pretty sure that’s just the standard message they show when you attempt to view any nsfw content on their new site.
Old.Reddit doesn’t have that problem though I’m sure they’re working on it
I wouldn’t put it past the admins to actively try to remove protests on r/place
They censored a lot of stuff on r/place back in 2022 (I don’t remember the 2017 r/place). It seems basically inevitable that they’re going to remove all of the “FUCK SPEZ” stuff at some point (or try and put something else on the canvas where the “FUCK SPEZ” stuff is). It would be really bad publicity for the site if a picture of the canvas plastered with “FUCK [the CEO of Reddit]” ended up in the media before the site’s IPO. I’d love to be wrong though as it’ll be fucking hilarious if the final canvas picture has at least one giant “FUCK SPEZ” on it.
They might do their mass censorship operation when their most active users are asleep to limit the outrage.
This one looks promising. Just spam it everywhere like the amongus last time.
