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

As if that means anything to them?
You’re a minority.

Reddit admins ABSOLUTELY RUINED by frequent EXPLETIVES and DOWNVOTES
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. https://lemmy.world/post/1796444
or write ‘join lemmy’ so you take away the numbers in the long run
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.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.
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 hygienicLmao 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?
Do your part by not getting baited into reddit my friend. You are providing revenue to them by doing so.
Dude I know, it’s like the 100th comment like this: I get it.
But stop being so invested in what you think is true and consider this: there are still a lot of people protesting reddit on reddit because they want to stay there and they don’t like the direction it is going.My grandfather used to say “we didn’t beat the fascists by ignoring them: that’s how they got the power in the first place”. And while I’m a firm believer that boycotting is the best way of dealing with this sort of problems, I believe that sometime it’s also efficient to scream “fuck you” to somebody’s face.
Like 90% boycotting and 10% “fuck you” seems a good ratio.[Gets down from the soap box]
claps
Ah yes, here we go, comparing changing the color in some pixel to someone risking his life and that of his family.
have you read everything or just stopped at that point you limp pineal gland mindcluttered sealion?
I did and I’m not getting why you’re so upset confused fish sounds
Just a reminder for anyone that wants to check up on r/place without giving Reddit your money, there are tons and tons of twitch streams that show how r/place currently looks.
If you aren’t actively helping create the “fuck spez” check our r/place without giving Reddit traffic.
a random one: https://www.twitch.tv/streamhubpro
Honestly y’all are just bragging about how dumb y’all are at this point.
“I’m gonna protest a website I hate by giving them more traffic! That will show them”
Do y’all pay grifters your money to spite them too?
“I’m gonna protest a website I hate by giving them more traffic! That will show them”
“I’m gonna disagree with a meme by commenting over and over so it will stay relevant for days”
You guys can’t even follow your own logicDid my one comment multiply when I wasn’t looking?
Who is you guys? I’m one person haha. You’re completely unhinged mate.
Dude don’t take the bait, this is Internet 101
Anything else of note so far? How big is the “Fuck spez” section relative to the whole canvas?
Also how long until admins “fix” it, I wonder…
I can’t imagine it would be that hard for this to have been designed to ignore input from users that contributed to certain pixels, allowing them to control what shows up on Place.
Wait wait wait Reddit is going r/place right now??? Why on earth would they do that
100% for traffic/numbers to show investors and advertising companies. Don’t give them the satisfaction, it’s better to stay away.
The opposite of love (attention for Reddit) is not hate. It is indifference.
Boy am I glad we don’t have that nonsense on lemmy. Why people care about that garbage is beyond me.
It was cool the first time.
Now it just feels desperate
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Keep up the good work!

There should be a remake of the Star Trek William Shatner SNL skit that replaces Trekkies with Redditors
I’m currently working on advertising for r/EndFPTP
I downloaded the app specifically just to help, and I’ll delete it when I’m done.
I figure taking down the duopoly is more important than taking down Reddit for a day.

The state of Lemmy right now:
Near global capitalist
I sleep
Reddit makes third party clients unprofitable, mostly amplified by Meta
Real shit?!
