News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

There's a QR code on r/place that links here and it seems some of the pixels are suddenly changing without any users attached to those changes -- unlike everywhere else

Yeah the admins are definitely fucking around with it. But why would anyone think trying to make a QR code on r/place is a good idea?

[–] mrpants@sh.itjust.works 73 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can make them very robust at error correction. Arguably more so than text.

[–] BigJim@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well that's impressive. TIL

[–] tinnedtime@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s amazing that those images in the center of a QR code aren’t actually a proper feature but relies on the error correction to deal with the center being covered up

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 4 points 2 years ago

It's so awesome

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think it's a great idea!

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

They did the same thing with the anti-spez messages and images. Theres another post here showing them scramble the French guillotine

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Why do people still care about this shit?

[–] the_brownie@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why do people care that people care?

I am interested in hearing what happens at reddit because it affects how likely people are to leave, and where they might go if they do leave.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Who cares where they go and what they do? I’m seriously asking: why does this matter to you? They’re strangers that have no relevance to anyone.

Let them stay on Reddit and do their thing. You’re here. Do your thing here. But plastering Reddit shit all over the place here is FUCKING ANNOYING.

[–] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I imagine they care in the interest of building Lemmy up and wanting to see it grow.

Damn dude, if you're so FUCKING ANNOYED by reddit talk maybe block the community literally called "reddit" and move on?

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I didn’t want to have to because I don’t like blocking anyone, let alone entire communities- but that obsessive shit is obnoxious, but good call. Blocked and done with it.

[–] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

I mean, I get the sentiment. But this community is literally about reddit shit lmaoo

[–] Wooly@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't you want more engagement with lemmy? If people leave Reddit they might come here and grow communities/content which this place sorely needs.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Caring about people leaving Reddit won’t make people leave Reddit. It just annoys people on lemmy.

[–] Wooly@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Block the Reddit community then lmao, you're walking into a strip club then complaining about seeing boobs.

It's interesting to follow Reddit's downfall from afar imo. It's already happening us caring is just us tracking what's happening.

[–] jaamesbaxterr@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Are you fucking lost? What is the name of the community you are posting in? Besides that, apply your comment to your own comment. Who cares what others do? Obviously you do because you're bitching about the conversation being about Reddit.... On a community dedicated to talking about Reddit? Gasp!

[–] Graphine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They're not going to just up and leave like so many are hoping for. The decline of Reddit will be gradual.

Millions of fucking users aren't going to just leave all at once.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll try to give you a good faith answer. Because this is a fun social experiment that has taken place for years. The results are skewed if it is tampered with.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But who cares? Let them tamper with it. It’s Reddit. Fuck them.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I already answered that. So.....I guess we're done here. Good luck to you buddy.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

You didn’t, but that’s cool. No worries.

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine walking into the cafe, just to complain about the amount of coffee being present...

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, more like, imagine walking into a cafe for a coffee, and finding out that the place is filled with people that do nothing but bitch about another cafe.

[–] xyzinferno@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

No, more like, imagine walking into a cafe for a coffee

The cafe in the analogy describes /c/reddit

finding out that the place is filled with people that do nothing but bitch about another cafe.

Referring to people complaining about Reddit...

So you go into /c/Reddit and are annoyed that people area complaining about Reddit. Just block this community then?

[–] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

More like, imagine walking into a cafe and thinking you can dictate what other people are talking about because you don't like it, instead of just finding a table with conversation you enjoy.

Going up to tables and telling them to talk about something different is about 1000x more annoying than the initial issue, especially when the topic of conversation is clearly labeled on the table and you have the ability to completely mute them. Inexplicably, you seem to have decided bitching at them would be more productive than just curating your feed like everyone else.

They need something to hate and hold on to. Bob Dole

[–] monobot@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago

surprised Pikachu

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Previous place events had this sort of thing happen. Pixels without a user credited are admin pixels.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And put a code 128 version in just for kicks

[–] Brokensilence410@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Holy shit, I saw Earthlings years ago and shits still fucked up. The movie the QR code sends you to is not for the faint of heart

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should pivot to a camouflage qr code that looks like something else

[–] MBM@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If it's not something random people come across easily, doesn't that defeat the point?
