"Oh shit user engagement is dropping, quick do something interesting!"
literally lol, the idea of doing a r/place every year was already really unpopular as there was little cultural change. I wonder if they're going to do anything unique compared to last time.
Just an attempt to get people back to the platform, but those who left know better imo.
Love all the "API" comments haha. I'll be skipping this one, no thanks, reddit :)
I feel like this is a good time to dust off the reddit account and help make a giant advertisement for lemmy.
Reeks of desperation. Thankfully, it looks like everybody knows what to do, although I think there will be the very natural counter-protest where contrarian redditors will say "Can't we just paint flags without complaining about the API or Spez?". We'll have to wait and see I guess.
Can't recapture the magic of the first /r/place. That was something else. Move on.
It really was. The second we neat but like you said the magic was gone and people clearly knew how to game it by then.

Has that new car smell.
this is so pathetic
Just like spez himself.
A modest proposal. Which Lemmy server can finish with a prominent place in the r/place final image!
can't wait to see all the bots force an image into it
the brightside is that it'll be a great place for the protestors to revolt
This wasn't fun after it got botted immediatelh anyway. Beyond reddit sucking now
It's fantastic that whoever designed this animation managed to get away with presenting Reddit as a freaking dumpster fire. You'd think someone in the higher ranks would request a change of iconography.
10000% a play to get people to install their mobile app. They don’t care that it’s just so they can contribute one pixel to a giant “fuck spez” banner, all that matters is their app metrics will grow a bit.
Gonna be amazing drama when the admins wipe "fuck spez" off the page
Is it of any use if we fedizens raid the thing with a big "join the fediverse" or "fuck spez" banner or something?
I'm sure that will be on there regardless. Less views is a bigger fuck you than any banner
Less views won't peel any users away and into the fediverse.
I think the Fediverse logo or something like this would not hurt.
How about you just ignore them? I swear you guys sound like you're obsessed with your ex.
I think the reddit migration is still fresh in a lot of people's minds. Give it some time and it will die down. At least until reddit does the next inevitable stupid decision.
Nah, I don't use reddit since the shutdown but I do enjoy a little tomfoolery.
They could spend time and resources improving their site experience for blind users, moderation tools, or improving their shoddy mobile app, but instead they do r/place.
It will keep the plebs happy while cleaning house of those pesky moderators.
Well that's going to backfire spectacularly then. The plebs are going to cover their stupid wall with Fuck Spez, API, and Apollo icons.
Fuck Reddit
Wow, millions of
botspeople can fight over which national flag or corporate logo gets to be the biggest.Might as well just link to a big png of the Ukrainian flag and call it a day rather than wasting everyone's time.
We should make our own Lemmy's place, with blackjack and hookers.
yeah, Nah.
They're so desperate. Wonder when they're going to relaunch other turds like RPAN
Never took part in that anyway
There will for sure be protests against u/spez and the API changes. What are they thinking lol
This doesn’t even make any sense financially.
Never used it because I only ever used rif and res with old.reddit. Certainly not missing out.
I suppose giving them a public billboard to voice their dissatisfaction is one way to tempt people back onto the site.
