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.

:NOWAY: Not the 400 people advertising Lemmy vs the at least 30 million Bots and the few million Reddit users.

Look at this and tell me we are a statistic.

This. It's honestly hilarious people keep parroting that "that's still engagement" BS like we're a force to be reckoned with compared to reddit.

It's like getting $10 from Musk and thinking its6gonna hurt him in a significant way. Lmao.

It's mostly bots anyway.

Personally only use Reddit read-only, with ad blocker and anti-tracking. Though I find that I don’t like read-only very much, so I’m spending less and less time on Reddit.

yeah but lowkey how funny would it be if that was the final r/place image they've gotta solidify in history

[–] CannaVet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have they actually been censoring it? I keep hearing that the fuck Spez stuff is being deleted but Idk if they're doing it or it's just getting overwritten lol

[–] overlyanxious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

honestly think it's just the people writing fk spez arent staying on long enough to upkeep it, or just dont care about reddit enough. THOUGH im pretty sure mods were caught using their unlimited pixels last r/place

Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?

[–] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit
