/r/place returning - We need your help!
We are mobilizing the M troops!
Reddit recently announced that on Friday, April 1st, they will be bringing back https://www.reddit.com/r/place/
For anyone who is not familiar with what /r/place is, it was an April Fools event on Reddit in 2017 which started with a blank canvas and everyone on Reddit was allowed to place one pixel every 5 minutes. As you can see from the final image of the first iteration, the Michigan contingent managed to get a block M in there, but for anyone who was there at the time, it was a fight. This time we are getting some warning, and can plan. We'd love to be even more ambitious and maybe get a bigger block M and also 42-27 in there.
What can you do now? First of all, make sure you have a Reddit account today. There may be a cut off that only people with accounts before April 1st are allowed to participate.
Second, join the Michigan Discord. We have a channel for discussion and planning, and we are hoping to have a reminder bot set up to make it easier to defend our space.

Well, I failed at embedding the final artwork. Here's the link: http://i.imgur.com/ajWiAYi.png

The block M is in the lower left corner, along with other B1G logos. There is one Midwestern team logo from a school that wished they were in the B1G, but only have their toe in via Hockey.
Nice hammer and sickle you got there.
Stay in your own fucking borders, Vlad.
How did it end up saying GO BLOE lol?
I only visit r/AnarchyChess
You don't CFP_Risk?
Didn't it last happen a couple of years ago, or did i completely miss it in 2021?
You didn't miss anything. There are some rumbles that something may be in the works, but nothing else is known at this time.
Only r/mgogonewild for me
Still the best post of all time on that sub, exclusively because it was posted by Levi
I know what each individual word in this post means
But I have no idea what you're talking about
The chaotic part of me still thinks the "Go Bloe" that appeared in the end result is hilarious
edit: added image of the offensive scrawl
Who wasted their time putting a B1G logo together? Of all the things to take time to support, especially while Delaney was still commissioner....

Weird the the Illini fans had to put UIUC in there so you'll know the Urbana-Champaign campus was involved (and not the Chicago campus).
I'm guessing RURURURURU is buttgers...
The creator of /r/place is the same as the creator of Wordle (Josh Wardle), a fact that kinda blew my mind
Dude knows how to waste some time on the Internet.
Especially mine.
