Is there a way to disable the outlines?

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

The "Fuck Spez" is much smaller when you view the whole thing :(

[–] Syndic@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

They have expanded the canvas several times. As far as I remember more quickly and frequently than they did before.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did that to achieve this very effect, way more space so protest art isn't so prominent.

[–] Cmot_Dibbler@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How tf does that work? That's incredible.

[–] gon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I really appreciate these posts; this way I don't need to actually go to Reddit to see what it's looking like.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT... Every time "fuck spez" shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.

Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?

Every time you go there and write "fuck spez" I'm sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on

I'll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO

[–] Guster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This doesn't make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that's simply Reddit users? Can't be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else .... Great amusement lol

[–] ijeff@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It only takes a few dedicated people with bots, but it does probably benefit their metrics.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trying to convert those metrics into revenue is what started this whole thing in the first place. If they were so effective at turning any engagement to their advantage, we'd still all be engaging there via whatever third party app we were using before they got disabled.

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

Have you tried to actually go to r/place? You can't even view the page on your phone unless you're using their garbage official app. It's definitely meant to try and increase app engagement

[–] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

At this point it is big enough to gather the interest of the media whether it stays up or gets wiped, and investors watch the media like hawks.

[–] luckyboy@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

it is so beautiful

[–] cokane_88@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I feel dumb because I stopped going on reddit a month ago so I have no idea how the dumpster fires smoldering...

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

Sadly gone now. Admins won't let this stand. Although the time lapses are hilarious.

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

All the time and energy they're spending moderating this, could have been time better spent improving literally anything. Usability, moderation tools, mobile app.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Obligatory fuck spez

Continuing to rebel against the site by using the hell out of the site and driving its numbers up, I see. Have fun with that.

I am curious about this IPO, because I want to see what a clownshow their cash flow statement is likely to be.

[–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Spez is and will always be a hurensohn.

[–] SinJab0n@mujico.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not giving them any traffic, thanks

[–] chk232@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

all my traffic goes into fuck spez works

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck spez is a meaningless message. Join-Lemmy.org however... 😎

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 1 year ago

Here's the thing. Most people into the federated alternatives aren't really going to the old place any more. I mean I'll admit I've been taking a look at r/place every now and then. But otherwise I'm not engaging with my usual haunts there. That's why there's not so many people to make a big impact on the canvas for any of the federated projects.

However there are still a lot of people still active that are unhappy with spez and his activities. Which explains why that message has a lot more traction there.

[–] Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't really like all the nationalism, or the lgbt flag nestled in there among a bunch of nationalism, but they've got the spirit.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's because the braindead national flag makers are always the first. Easy to do and idiots are more than willing to do it.

[–] Geo_bot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like how u/spez ist ein hurensöhn was still there last time I check

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spez is a Whoreson? I know literally 0 German but I'm confident that's what that says

[–] Willer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The phrase "Sprich deutsch, du Hurensohn" ("Speak german, you son of a whore") has evolved from an insult to somewhat of an insider meme in german subreddits. It was an answer to english comments flooding german subreddits and making communication difficult.

And now we basically can call anyone a Hurensohn and it now counts as transformative art lol

[–] Kiky@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ok but... Why the are people criticizing the reddit CEO on reddit and thereby USING REDDIT? There is no need to spread that he's shit anymore at this point for everyone to see. Everyone knows by now. If people don't approve of his ways, they need to boycott his platform. But if they keep participating on r/place, they are literally supporting him by using his platform?!

[–] anolemmi@lemmi.social 1 points 1 year ago

This is not a hot take, people are aware of the dissonance of using Reddit to complain about Reddit. But many folks are still upset but not upset enough to leave, or would like to leave but aren’t ready for places like Lemmy yet. It still needs work and polish before the average Joe will be comfortable here.

So in the meantime I say go for it, having fuck spez be one of the main focal points of the whole canvas is incredible and sends a message. Yea most folks have heard about it by now but might be surprised users are still upset, or never really understood what the big deal was before but maybe they look into it now. Every bit of negative sentiment on Reddit about Reddit will slowly push users away. This is more than a bit of negative sentiment.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Sabotaging the quality of reddit also hurts spez. Advertisers have been pulling out, ipo valuation is going down. If the super users make it a place people don't want to go, they will stop going, and it will get worse. If they make life hard for the mods, some of them will say "fuck it." And stop being mods because they will realize it's not worth it.

It's not just about raising awareness

[–] sociablefish@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they should change it to fuck reddit because when spez gets fired, they will think the battle is won, which will lose them the battle

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

At this late stage, I think everyone ends up losing this one no matter what happens
