It's getting late and we only have 2-3 people left. We need help, come over to /r/place and help defend out banner at -811,14. You can join the conversation at https://matrix.to/#/#lemmyplace:data.haus
honestly can’t be bothered. Let reddit fester, the view is great from here
edit: but also do what you want! ;)
Don’t go on Reddit
Stop engaging in Reddit. It's time to move on.
No. Reddit is dead to me.
You continue to help boost user engagement metrics. Just what the IPO needs.
I’m going to buy this beer and pour it out in protest…
I’m going to buy these books and burn them in protest…
I’m going to log into Reddit and place a stern message on /r/place in protest…
Do you see the pattern…
I think it might be time to move on.
STOP. GOING. TO. REDDIT.
Hate-gagement is still engagement
Meh. You do you, but I'm happy here and don't want to give Reddit any traffic.
Fuck /r/place.
Good luck to anyone doing it but the whole reason I'm on Lemmy is because I refuse to use reddit's garbage app. I'm not gonna start now.
You can do it on the web. Using the app only for /r/place isn't so bad. I'd never use it for anything else.
Remember when Reddit actually had variety in their site wide social "games"/experiments? Remember the button? Or the colors? Or headdit? Now it feels like r/place is their one trick pony and honestly it's a beaten horse at this point, in my opinion.
Why would you seek validation from reddit to get away from reddit?
But the whole point of coming here is I didn't want to use the website and give them engagement.
I think part of the problem is that when everyone is pulling in different directions, the effect of people like me boycotting using Reddit entirely to try to make some kind of dent in their use statistics basically ends up doing nothing.
If you're "defending" your banner, meaning refreshing and adding inputs on a regular basis, you're providing a ton more engagement, views, and clicks, as well as getting other Reddit users more entrenched in their defense of their stupid website, than any other possible activity you could do on that site. So thanks, I guess.
The worst case scenario for r/place is a world where everyone just sits in their corner after populating it at the start. Zero stories, boring, people no longer want to engage. What you're doing? Dramatic gold.
'member that site b used to draw swastikas on? how about we make it a time limited fomo event to drive metrics? brilliant right?
Yeah, I've never engaged with this shit and won't start now I'm not even on the site.
Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.
I think that getting "fuck u/spez" and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.
You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.
There are people doing that sorta stuff too if you wanna join them. Some QR codes up there.
I'm going to go to bed in about an hour or 2 and am running 4 out of the 5 or 6 of the accounts we have online. I'm a bit worried that we will lose it as we have the last couple times we got a banner going.
Admins will just remove what they dont like anyhow.
Hasn't happened much so far.
Earning my keep.
Yes by helping Reddit
Or telling those on Reddit to join Lemmy.
Do you not know how marketing works?
We are already here. Anyone left on Reddit isn't willing to stop engaging. There was a huge campaign to get everyone over here already and it worked, it's why I'm here. A tiny banner on a huge canvas looked at by only Reddit diehards won't change anything. Mho.
