We all hate what Reddit has become, and espesically Spez what about trying to get the our name on there?
The best protest would be a blank canvas.
Using reddit at all, even in protest, is what they want. Traffic is traffic to them. We should strive to be perfectly content over here.
I agree to a certain point. I’m not going to stop using Reddit totally, but I’ve got to admit that I’ve used it less and less after I started using Lemmy… I rarley go on reddit.
The point is to maybe get more traffic for us. But I do agree with you, traffic is traffic.
They haven’t blanked the “fuck Spez” stuff så maybe they will not blank it out?
Doesn’t matter. Doing place again now is just a desperate attempt to show that numbers and engagement are up after the protests, and using it shows the protests meant nothing.
Delete your Reddit account, uninstall their app, and move on if it really matters to you. Otherwise what’s the point? What good is protesting without action?
I’d like to get lemmy advertised to the Reddit userbase, if people saw how good of an alternative it is, we could start a mass exodus, filling out the userbase on here, more content is more better imo
How is lemmy’s logo on r/place an advertisement? 99.9% of people won’t know what the logo is, and if it’s written, it’ll make no dent to traffic whatsoever.
No, some people just don’t understand that the companies continue getting away with this because they’re right - Reddit is apparently an essential service that people can’t live without.
Do better and delete Reddit for good
I don’t think r/place is going to sway anyone though. And apparently it requires the Reddit app? No thanks.
no! r/place is a trap! Do not interact with it! Everyone who writes “fuck spez” and stuff is a fool and is falling for it. Spez wants this. You are giving traffic to Reddit. Even by insulting him.
It reminds me of the people that think they’re doing the lords work by ‘downvoting’ the ads on their reddit stream, when in reality it’s just counted as another interaction.
Mannn I still remember how r/place was advertised in the past. “Reddit had x million people contribute to this, it’s a social science, it’s good for advertisers!” Etc. people are addicts and don’t realise how they’re feeding the machine
Don’t participate, traffic is traffic, they’ll use your engagement for their IPO and blank out your pixels and move on. Participating at all is just giving them traffic
I’m good. Why would I go back to the site I didn’t want to be on.
Let ‘em rot
Naw, then I’d have to actually go to Reddit, which is blocked in my network.
I think a better option is to just forget about it and move on.
Expect admins to blank it out
Blah
