All this hate towards u/spez only gives reddit engagement. The only way to real success is by making users move to Lemmy.

    the fact that it would require us to spend time on reddit every 5 min and the fact thatthe admins would wipe it if it showed any real problems.

      I think some people want Lemmy to become as big as Reddit. I don’t care if it does, I just want it to be big enough to have a good stream of content.

        I want federated social media to kill off corporate social media because the latter is doing substantive damage to our society by giving Spez, Musk and Zuckerberg too much power over political discourse.

    I’m in if someone organizes where to put the pixel art. It would be wise to wait for the upcoming size update. On the engagement part, I honestly would be (even more) disappointed in humanity if the “bad publicity is publicity” tactic will work out well to convince investors.

    I think a lot of people here are apathetic towards anything Reddit related ultimately and you’d need a lot of engagement with Reddit for it to happen. Or bots, which is what half of the big participants in the last one used anyway.

    I wouldn’t mind someone botting a little Lemmy advertisment though.

    So then stop giving Reddit traffic. Suggesting people get on Reddit isn’t going to help your cause.

    I believe the point of r/place is to drive traffic after several of us left. Makes it look better to investors. Giving a blank slate to the public to express their hate is going to get attention from anyone who feels slighted. Making it almost like we never left in the first place if we go back to post even a pixel.

    Honestly who fucking cares? Just forget them. That’s how the internet moves on, and that’s the only way. So sick of hearing about reddit.

    Everyone who thinks 10 people from Lemmy going to r/Place will increase their user engagement stats are so delusional

    Man, that shit required you to sit in front of your computer all day. It’s abysmal that you can place one tile every 5 minutes is it? I placed one and noped the fuck out
