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
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 don’t view this as a meme.
I tried to escape from r/place posts, but couldn’t
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.
It depends on how much Reddit wants to follow in Elon Musk’s steps in destroying their service.
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.
you criticize society… but you participate in society… curious
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.
I’m sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.
I didn’t say it was?
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.
smartest meme repeater
why stoopid
meh. I’m not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they’ll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.
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.
:NOWAY: Not the 400 people advertising Lemmy vs the at least 30 million Bots and the few million Reddit users.
Look at this and tell me we are a statistic.
This. It’s honestly hilarious people keep parroting that “that’s still engagement” BS like we’re a force to be reckoned with compared to reddit.
It’s like getting $10 from Musk and thinking its6gonna hurt him in a significant way. Lmao.
I mean, poking in and scrolling your old favorite sub for 10 minutes 3 times a day is still substantially less traffic then constantly bumming around on r/all all day
Besides, with the sheer number of reddit users not even including the tens of thousands of bots, the site traffic generated by Lemmy users is probably so small it makes no difference at all
It’s mostly bots anyway.
Personally only use Reddit read-only, with ad blocker and anti-tracking. Though I find that I don’t like read-only very much, so I’m spending less and less time on Reddit.
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
Thank you to everyone that contributed to this beautiful piece of art🫡
why are people indulging this company after all they did?
stop using reddit
Apes together still dumb
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
Yeahhh…

previously it was one pixel every five minutes, I don’t know about now though, as I deleted my account
