Our French compatriots are giving Spez the guillotine!
It’s basically bots vs admins now. Most pixels are places by new accounts or by entities without accounts at all.
The highlight this year is going to be that animation by the Osu! I think.
You missed the best part, in the German Flag, they’ve written “u/spez ist ein Hurensohn!”
Translation: u/spez is a son of a whore/bitch (Google says bitch, commenters are saying whore.)
So, at the end, it worked?.. shame
Reddit does not need love, people enjoying it or whatever, they need traffic. Advertisers dont care if you are there just to express how awfull reddit is, they need views. I would have love to see this shit staying blank.
How many of them don’t know about Lemmy yet and would switch in a second if they found out?
I don’t know if the comparison applies here cause whats happening in reddit is a little bit more aggressive, but i have been in another more local based dying internet community (Taringa was pretty popular in latinamerica, 15 years ago or so)… we all knew the moment in which the site died. We expressed ourselves, made jokes about the owners, tried to fight back… nothing changed and people continued to use the site, mostly because we didnt have a replacement for it. At the end it took aprox. 10 years to settle down to the dead site that it is now. Its like a candle, slowly devouring itself to the end. I guess the same will happen with reddit.
I think a lot of reddit users havent even thought about looking for a replacement, they dont know about lemmy and they wouldnt switch either. I may be wrong.
Probably gonna get censored.
Given how Reddit admins have been cheating at r/place for years I think that was a given before it even opened. But they made their bed, let them lie in it. Also, constant paid eyes on every part of the canvas costs Reddit money and time, which is even better.
So if this means Reddit admins now have to work even harder because spez can’t take the blowback when he goes out of his way to fuck up people’s online communities, and repeatedly silenced Redditors have now seized upon this opportunity to paint countless iterations of fuck u/spez across his please-don’t-leave-me canvas with his admins unable to keep up with the censoring, I can’t see how that’s a bad thing. Protesters leading the whole gang on a merry chase back and forth across the whole canvas until Reddit mercifully puts an end to its own public bollocking is a worthwhile endeavor, I think.
TL;DR: Censorship in this case is both expected and good. Also, the French guillotine and the German hurensohn are just delightful. -chef’s kiss-
This is still traffic on the site.
Do you expect to see the site die in a week?
How far back do you think user engagement on r/place will stall reddit failing?
Do you think not using the canvas would cause more harm than their favorite event being covered in language shitting on the CEO and making the pretty canvas not marketable?
Personally, I strongly disagree if you do think so. Even if every Lemmy user drove 0 traffic to reddit, it would change very little of their day to day engagement.
It’s important in the long term to move away from reddit and reduce engagement of the site, but the cost benefit ratio of fucking up the marketability of r/place strongly outweighs the effect users would have engaging the site.
Hurensohn lmao
I got a laugh scrabbling through old high school German lessons in my head, it’s a new insult to me but it fits xD
Go to the ich_lel community. It’s so good.
