I bet they have some bots around to replace anything bad. There were some brief NSFW stuff last time they did this that got overwritten really really quick and suddenly.
Probably 3 minutes, tops, in a neutral setting, but every reddit employee and pro-dumbass mod knows that's the first thing anyone is going to do, so they'll be up all night alongside their bots, cheating and shadowbanning like last time. Not that I'm naming names, Chtorr.
No way under god will they allow the kinds of things users are about to depict happening to spez
I think you’re right that the best response is no response, but the protests do have an effect beside driving traffic. Investors won’t want to be involved in a company at war with its userbase, so if protests are loud and long enough it could mess us reddits IPO plans. So for the users who just aren’t ready to give up reddit, spamming protest comments is probably their best bet.
Agreed. The people who are pitching r/place as "entertainment" are people who want to stay engaged with reddit and enjoy drama. I'm done with Reddit now that they've killed Apollo and don't care to hear about it anymore.
Yep is anyone is still a user logging in anyway then may as well.do.this...but to log.in especially for it, when you otherwise would not have logged a Reddit hit will give spez what he wants
All the protests will do nothing but drive traffic.
Which is the EXACT reason they’re doing it again all of sudden. This was not scheduled by any means but the dumpster fire for the past weeks causes them to grasp for straws. It’s a pathetic attempt to get users back that their psychopathic methods drove away.
Got to get those engagement numbers back up for the future share holders. I like to think the code was kept in a little glass box that says exodus use only.
An admin was caught editing pixels without cooldown to draw over several communities’ art. Iirc, it was mainly to overwrite NSFW art. When people noticed, the comments that mentioned it got deleted
I remember thinking it was bizarre how angry people seemed to be about that, like it was a huge scandal. It doesn’t matter, it’s not important! Go do something else!
I strongly disagree. If everyone on Lemmy went to reddit for every second of r/place, that’d barely even make a blip on their engagement numbers. On the other hand, we can potentially grow this platform by quite a lot if we can draw just a bit of attention.
It’s a bit silly to turn down an easy opportunity to grow Lemmy as a way to spite Reddit. If you really don’t care about reddit anymore, then there is no issue with using it to find people that can help contribute to the growing communities here.
Ha! Jokes on them, I avoid using search engines if I know the full link (which for reddit’s r/place is reddit.com/r/place ) and when I do use search engines, I use Brave Search, so it doesn’t even feed into Google or Bing’s popularity contest where the show popular searches.
r/spaces was dead as soon as the first one ended. Whether you feel indifferent about what happened the past couple of weeks or Reddit as a whole, or simply despise Spez. You’ll be disappointed either way. They will censor the crap out of it.
