Fuck Reddit
10000% a play to get people to install their mobile app. They don’t care that it’s just so they can contribute one pixel to a giant “fuck spez” banner, all that matters is their app metrics will grow a bit.
this is so pathetic
Gonna be amazing drama when the admins wipe “fuck spez” off the page
Is it of any use if we fedizens raid the thing with a big “join the fediverse” or “fuck spez” banner or something?
I’m sure that will be on there regardless. Less views is a bigger fuck you than any banner
Don’t go to Reddit. Stay here, it’s much nicer.
Wow, millions of
botspeople can fight over which national flag or corporate logo gets to be the biggest.Might as well just link to a big png of the Ukrainian flag and call it a day rather than wasting everyone’s time.
Reeks of desperation. Thankfully, it looks like everybody knows what to do, although I think there will be the very natural counter-protest where contrarian redditors will say “Can’t we just paint flags without complaining about the API or Spez?”. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.
Love all the “API” comments haha. I’ll be skipping this one, no thanks, reddit :)
I feel like this is a good time to dust off the reddit account and help make a giant advertisement for lemmy.
Can’t recapture the magic of the first /r/place. That was something else. Move on.
It really was. The second we neat but like you said the magic was gone and people clearly knew how to game it by then.
The first one grab everyone by surprise and automation tools took a couple of days to dominate, the second one it just took a couple of hours to update those tools. This time? Pretty sure that tools are going to work from the get go.
Exactly, with bot accounts and so on. The biggest fun was following the communities that competed and how politics erupted. I kept looking to see if anyone wrote an article on the first one focused on the human condition but I never did find one.
We should make our own Lemmy’s place, with blackjack and hookers.
can’t wait to see all the bots force an image into it
the brightside is that it’ll be a great place for the protestors to revolt
Just an attempt to get people back to the platform, but those who left know better imo.
yeah, Nah.
A modest proposal. Which Lemmy server can finish with a prominent place in the r/place final image!
