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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Nope. You need bots to coordinate pixels, people have better things to do than login there.

[–] chk232@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

i logged in after a month just to fix fuck spez artwork. people are doing pretty well without the bots.

going to log out and never log back in after it ends.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We actually did all of this with no bots. All humans clicking pixels every 4 minutes. It's impressive but also a bit sad with the amount of time that it took. We got invaded from South Africa to people from Italy but we managed to do it.

[–] lackadaisy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, we could load a template to follow but it was just a lot of clicking pixels to change "FARTY" back to "PARTY," rinse, repeat.

[–] EricKendrick@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that was exactly what they wanted, hate clicks are eyeballs nonetheless

It will looks so good to the IPO investors when they read the single users and traffic and retention numbers on the report. They won’t see why you were there. Just that you were there.

Very good work everyone! I was a little too late this time but that was quick af!

[–] chk232@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

till the next bot wave

I’m in the discord, but unsure the best way to help. Other than just placing a pixel every 4 minutes to try and clean up the area you’ve shown.

Feels kinda “blind” though, I’m just making an educated guess where things should go. Is there a better way?

[–] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Yes. Do what r/afip is doing and coordinate pixel pushes. Every 5 minutes the whole server works together and places their pixels at the same time. They also coordinate by months: Jan-June and July-Dec. Check out their server if you want better coordination.

Source: I do the countdowns.

just follow #announcements #orders and #cleanup channels.

and follow what your heart desires

[–] Millie@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stop making daily Reddit ads you shill!

Ignoring something long enough and it will go away, just like ignoring climate change will mean it's not a threat anymore.

/s

[–] Millie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

This is the equivalent of buying and burning oil in protest of climate change.

[–] gk99@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ignoring something long enough and it will go away

This is quite literally how social media works. They rely on user engagement to succeed.

[–] decenthuman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Comparing reddit to climate change is.... something.

[–] mrmanager 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honest question, did anything you ignore actually go away?

[–] Millie@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Yep. Lots of stuff. Livejournal, Myspace, AOL, Digg.

Protesting platforms that feed on engagement by engaging with those platforms is very silly. You won't fix them.

If you think Reddit turned space back on thinking people wouldn't use it to protest and to promote alternatives, I feel like you haven't been paying attention. They feed on rage, it keeps their numbers up.

What they can't feed on is letting them die because we don't need or care about them anymore. Like Mab at the end of the 90s Merlin miniseries.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feeding reddit views is just helping them sell ads and get investment. Even if all of the canvas was a giant "join lemmy" ad it would still be doing reddit more good than Lemmy.

[–] Artinizal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

And next month none of us will be on. Things don't happen in a vacuum and advertisers notice. They might make money this month but if we take 100 of their users off for the next 12 months it offsets it.

[–] elghoto@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

everything got wiped out by a bunch of 1 karma accounts. Reddit is a joke.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hello, I'm the leader of the join-lemmy.org movement on r/place. I want to say thank you to all those involved, from our graphic designers, to the template developers, to the people placing pixels and especially our allies from Fuck Spez Coalition, Black Company, Germany, Ultimate Chicken Horse, placelgbt, and undoubtedly more.

If you're new here, check out my post for links to get started.

You can check our history of posts from !place@lemm.ee we previously has a sub on lemmy.world but they took it down for "violating rules"
