I get more Reddit news on Lemmy than I did on Reddit.

[-] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Album@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm satisfied by reading about it though Lemmy so I don't actually have to go there

[-] VaidenKelsier@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Legit. It's been great, keeping up while not having to actually do anything that might support reddit.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

It depends on how much Reddit wants to follow in Elon Musk's steps in destroying their service.

[-] shalva97@lemmy.sdfeu.org 9 points 1 year ago

I tried to escape from r/place posts, but couldn't

[-] Millie@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.

[-] Millie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] overlyanxious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

yeah but lowkey how funny would it be if that was the final r/place image they've gotta solidify in history

[-] CannaVet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Have they actually been censoring it? I keep hearing that the fuck Spez stuff is being deleted but Idk if they're doing it or it's just getting overwritten lol

[-] overlyanxious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

honestly think it's just the people writing fk spez arent staying on long enough to upkeep it, or just dont care about reddit enough. THOUGH im pretty sure mods were caught using their unlimited pixels last r/place

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev -1 points 1 year ago

Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?

[-] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit

why are people indulging this company after all they did?

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You should use his real name, so people outside of reddit will fuck him too.

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Steve Huffman, that the piece of shit you talking about?

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's the one. Hit him professionally.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Fucking cowards erasing it

[-] hydro033@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago
[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 2 points 1 year ago

That's how the second one ended, not the first one. The first one actually had a final image.

[-] Kushia@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's beautiful because it existed for one fleeting moment in time.

[-] red@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

That's how it ends. Only white pixels can be placed now, and eventually they'll turn the rest white as well.

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] yeepyorp@mtgzone.com 4 points 1 year ago

stop using reddit

[-] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this beautiful piece of art🫡

Man yall really showed spez by using his.website and giving his site traffic!

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago
[-] HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] maiskanzler@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

You get to place one pixel every so-and-so minutes only. To build anything of size people need to collaborate.

[-] Ricaz@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

But in reality it's just a bunch of neckbeards with 100 reddit accounts each and a script to paint a bitmap

[-] Goblin_Mode@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

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
