I get more Reddit news on Lemmy than I did on Reddit.
Completely logical as much of it is removed on Reddit and many of us are curious about our old stomping grounds. It’s the people complaining about it that are getting tiring.
Yeah I’m satisfied by reading about it though Lemmy so I don’t actually have to go there
Legit. It’s been great, keeping up while not having to actually do anything that might support reddit.
Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I’m both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don’t want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.
Plus I can only see so many "fuck spez"s until I’m pretty bored of em. Can I at least see interesting drama? Where’s spez coming up with a new way to insult mods?
I think this should be the last of it until Reddit’s IPO, the administration team is just going to sit back and pretend nothing happened in the mean time.
I tried to escape from r/place posts, but couldn’t
Apes together still dumb
why are people indulging this company after all they did?
Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.
It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.
Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.
Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.
Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?
Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit
you criticize society… but you participate in society… curious
I’m sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.
why stoopid
Reddit isn’t but the internet is. The internet has been getting shittier the past year and people feel it. How many times do you append reddit at the end of your google searches? How many times does google send you reddit search results?
Reddit is a remnant of the internet before it got centralized and capitalism fucked it up. Yes, we are federated but a majority won’t be switching for a long time. I think there is validity in defacing /r/place as it brings awareness and documents the shitty things the admins are doing. That is very powerful and easy to point and show others what is happening.
I didn’t say it was?
smartest meme repeater
That’s what that meme you mentioned is usually referencing…when somebody criticizes a thing they depend on.
yeah but in this context it isn’t. I’m just saying, if people want to protest the site’s changes, it’s better for them to protest within the site itself rather going somewhere else and disturbing people there.
Sorry if I’m misinterpreting your comment, but that’s usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn’t a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.
Man yall really showed spez by using his.website and giving his site traffic!
stop using reddit
More like “botnets strong”. That’s what really soured me on the second /r/place, it was completely taken over by crypto fanatics and meme stock morons running bots.
You should use his real name, so people outside of reddit will fuck him too.
Steve Huffman, that the piece of shit you talking about?
Fucking cowards erasing it
That’s how it always ends
Thank you to everyone that contributed to this beautiful piece of art🫡
Whose spez?
He’s the Reddit CEO and allegedly has sex with cats
Also a moderator or r/jailbait
Back then you could make any user a mod without them having to accept.
Not saying spez isn’t a cunt that allowed that community to exist for way too long, but let’s just be accurate when describing the shitstain.
That’s true, and certainly worth noting.
But I think it’s also worth noting that he remained a moderator for literal years and only killed the sub after serious media backlash. If no one made a big stink he wouldnt have changed anything
Also he gave the head moderator his own custom trophy as well as the best sub of 2008 award. So I’ll let you draw your own conclusions
Exactly. He’s a fuckin site admin, you’re telling me he couldn’t just take himself off as moderator right away? Dude probably loves touching kids and everyones is all “oh but anyone could add him”. Sick of that line lmao
Woha wait. I missed these allegations, and I’m too dumb to tell if this is just a joke or a joke based on real allegations
How does r/space (or whatever) actually work, anyway? Do you only get to edit X amount of pixels per day or something? I imagine they’d have to limit it in some way, or it would change too much too quickly.
You get to place one pixel every so-and-so minutes only. To build anything of size people need to collaborate.
But in reality it’s just a bunch of neckbeards with 100 reddit accounts each and a script to paint a bitmap
Yeahhh…
When a smaller community comes together to make something uncomplicated and sincere it’s really really cool.
But everything bigger than 50x50 is all but guaranteed to be bots. Place stopped being fun halfway through last year honestly
