I get more Reddit news on Lemmy than I did on Reddit.

    Completely logical as much of it is removed on Reddit and many of us are curious about our old stomping grounds. It's the people complaining about it that are getting tiring.

    Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I'm both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don't want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.

    Plus I don't view this as a meme.

    Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.

    It's like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

    Sorry if I'm misinterpreting your comment, but that's usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn't a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.

    I'm sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.

    Reddit isn't but the internet is. The internet has been getting shittier the past year and people feel it. How many times do you append reddit at the end of your google searches? How many times does google send you reddit search results?

    Reddit is a remnant of the internet before it got centralized and capitalism fucked it up. Yes, we are federated but a majority won't be switching for a long time. I think there is validity in defacing /r/place as it brings awareness and documents the shitty things the admins are doing. That is very powerful and easy to point and show others what is happening.

    meh. I'm not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they'll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.

    Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.

    Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who've taken to advertising it on a daily basis.

    I mean, poking in and scrolling your old favorite sub for 10 minutes 3 times a day is still substantially less traffic then constantly bumming around on r/all all day

    Besides, with the sheer number of reddit users not even including the tens of thousands of bots, the site traffic generated by Lemmy users is probably so small it makes no difference at all

    Back then you could make any user a mod without having to accept.

    That's true, and certainly worth noting.

    But I think it's also worth noting that he remained a moderator for literal years and only killed the sub after serious media backlash. If no one made a big stink he wouldnt have changed anything

    Also he gave the head moderator his own custom trophy as well as the best sub of 2008 award. So I'll let you draw your own conclusions

    Exactly. He's a fuckin site admin, you're telling me he couldn't just take himself off as moderator right away? Dude probably loves touching kids and everyones is all "oh but anyone could add him". Sick of that line lmao

    You should use his real name, so people outside of reddit will fuck him too.

    More like "botnets strong". That's what really soured me on the second /r/place, it was completely taken over by crypto fanatics and meme stock morons running bots.

    How does r/space (or whatever) actually work, anyway? Do you only get to edit X amount of pixels per day or something? I imagine they’d have to limit it in some way, or it would change too much too quickly.

    You get to place one pixel every so-and-so minutes only. To build anything of size people need to collaborate.

    But in reality it's just a bunch of neckbeards with 100 reddit accounts each and a script to paint a bitmap

    Yeahhh..

    When a smaller community comes together to make something uncomplicated and sincere it's really really cool.

    But everything bigger than 50x50 is all but guaranteed to be bots. Place stopped being fun halfway through last year honestly
