Well stop doing your part. Stop interacting with Reddit. They are almost certainly doing Place right now just to boost their numbers and you’re falling for it
100% agree. I’m one of the April Knights that team up every April Fool’s for the events. They are 4000% doing this to boost numbers. Fuck them entirely. I refuse to participate.
That being said, we need to have our own April Fools event. I wonder if anyone would be interested in this? If there is enough of it, I’ll see if I can take on a new coding project.
R/place will increase their traffic no matter what. At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren’t going to move past it that easily. Plus, keeping r/place open all day is increasing their server costs while providing no ad revenue. I don’t go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.
I don’t think we are a minority at all. Look at any admin communication and all you see are complaints related to the changes. Also I think the protests actually are hurting moral at Reddit, and could potentially affect their IPO, but I’m mostly just enjoying a bit of schadenfreude from watching how poorly things can go for them. I know it won’t affect their decisions in the end.

I did stop interacting with Reddit, I only put one pixel in because there are still a lot of people there that haven’t given up yet and this is their way of protesting.
Even if it’s not the way I choose for myself, I still respect them for holding the ground.
This is my homage for those people.
Kid I’ve been on Lemmy way longer than you because I started searching for alternatives way before the whole thing blew up.
You silly guys that joined 1 month ago with your last minute righteousness can all line up and suck my balls , but before please take all those bull shit out of your mouth that’s not really hygienic
Lmao oh this is a Lemmy seniority test now?? It’s a website haha. Mazel tov on you being here longer. You truly are worth praise for that. But if that makes you feel better and happy then I want you to have it :) who am I to take away your self worth?

I have no idea what you’re talking about but that sounds like a great idea

As if that means anything to them?
You’re a minority.
Reddit admins ABSOLUTELY RUINED by frequent EXPLETIVES and DOWNVOTES

or write ‘join lemmy’ so you take away the numbers in the long run

You’re addicted and use this crap to rationalise it.
Scientific diagnosis
One doesn’t need to be a scientist to see that you are incapable of leaving Reddit. Look at all your justifications for staying.

Yeah, but in exchange for a brief flurry of engagement they have to put up with another wave of articles about angry reddit user protests:
