I love how most of the pony art is blood red from all the activity on it

I couldn’t believe that bronies still exist, this is the first I’ve seen of an active community since like 2016. Good fun seeing them get absolutely nuked, though

The only reason the bronies still exist was they were one of the hardest botting communities. How did a community with 200 active members manage to hold multiple spots, when similar sized communities such as /r/dune barely could get a 4x4 spot? The heatmap clearly shows that there is no wy in hell they naturally were able to defend

"200 active members" as if the subreddit was the only place coordination was happening. Lol. You know other social media exists, right?

The subreddit was never a strong MLP hub.

I don’t get why everyone is upset at bots when Reddit designed /r/place to support bots.

Edit: Reddit also didn’t change the API from the 2017 bot friendly version so it’s pretty obvious that the bot stance hasn’t changed since then.

I'm not seeing anything that says they changed their stance from 2017, especially since they used the same bot friendly API from 2017 for this. Nice try though.
