'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest::Reddit's collaborative art project seemingly has one overarching message to Reddit's CEO.

Efforts ought to be focused more on redirecting people to / advertising Lemmy. Any entailed increase in DAUs for Reddit would be, ultimately, temporary.

We tried, but even that was heavily resisted like the traffic of twenty people is going to make a difference to anyone

Who could have foreseen this?

Over the last few hours, many of the "FUCK SPEZ" drawings have started to be taken over by other image, causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this).

Can't you track who draws the pixels and timing of said pixels or some shit?

It was the worst time to run Place, but it was also the best time to run Place

I don't get it, if it's so bad being on redit then don't come. Or is it like those women in abusive relationships where their husband/boyfriend beats the shit out of her and she still crawls back to him and for some reason can't imagine a life without him?

[–] Crazypartypony@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because abusive relationships force people to stay in them for reasons people who haven't been in that situation could never understand. Seems you haven't been, so you drag people who have. Women, specifically. Fun!

I asked if those are related because I know that the second happens. But reading it back I agree I phased it very badly, sorry for that.

Spez Démission! in true french fashion. Proud to be french. 🇫🇷

Journals talking about it is a great thing, a pixel that holds 5 minutes will have a small impact, a jour Al that is indexed and appears when you write "Reddit" online, will have an even bigger impact

[–] IntrepidIceIgloo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

we did it reddit!

Especially with apps like memmy and avelon, the fediverse is much better than reddit will ever be. Now if only everyone knew about them. And reddit users just stopped using reddit.
