It was Rubius. Originally the colour pallete was changed to black, white and grey but Reddit removed everything except white when people started writing fuck spez.
It was clearly planned. It was quickly stencilled out by a network of bots / people using a script. It is a precise font size and spacing.
Once it started, well, everybody else understood the assignment, you could watch it filling out in real time.
Damn good bit of sabotage. I knew that something would be waiting at the end before the admins could stop it
Well done!
It was actually the r/placeDE community. Two of our designers quickly cobbled it together in Photoshop and then shared the final design with a bunch of communities and streamers, including Papaplatte, Rubius, placeFR, placeNL and others.
