It’s getting late and we only have 2-3 people left. We need help, come over to /r/place and help defend out banner at -811,14. You can join the conversation at https://matrix.to/#/#lemmyplace:data.haus
Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.
I think that getting “fuck u/spez” and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.

Kinda true but we also know that advertisers can be very picky about having their content displayed next to sensitive content or even profanity. So seeing a guillotine and fuck spez written all over Place on Day 1 was pretty cool

This is stupid to me. You really think advertisers look only at the stats and not the content? Having been part of trans who had to decide “who to spend our money on” - the content matters A LOT

An investment firm executive makes it their business to know everything there is to know about negative press (or anything else that could jeopardize their management of an IPO), which this campaign is generating huge amounts of…
There’s no such thing as bad press. All negative press means is that people are talking about it and that’s engagement.
You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.
There are people doing that sorta stuff too if you wanna join them. Some QR codes up there.
Now if you could set up a huge bot-net and make the whole thing an obscene picture it will make impact. But I doubt that’s legal and all so don’t do that. Staying off seems to work for me, but I need some filter to remove that site from links here. It’s not very interesting for me to know what happens there. If it was I’d be there
What press are we talking about? For shareholders, it’s all about people engaging with Reddit so they can use machine learning to target ads to people. r/place is an experiment in how to encourage that engagement to make more money for shareholders.
The best way to influence the IPO is not to engage.
It’s a more modern type of marketing that could be considered controversial marketing. Gets people talking, and it works unfortunately.
Here I am engaging with you because of it.
I think that getting “fuck u/spez” and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.
Depends, they already ramp up “traffic” with bots, so just advertising without paying hurts them more in the long term.
There is no point in trying,You can’t argue with morons. Just let the think they won and maybe they will just go back to reddit.
Fuck /r/place.
That’s kind of the point.
Good luck to anyone doing it but the whole reason I’m on Lemmy is because I refuse to use reddit’s garbage app. I’m not gonna start now.
You can do it on the web. Using the app only for /r/place isn’t so bad. I’d never use it for anything else.

On the plus side, having the app installed means every time it updates I can refresh my 1-star review.
So use the web site.
Is it available on old.reddit? A lot of people here who refuse to give reddit traffic in the first place also prefer old.reddit and don’t want to use the new interface.
I’m going to buy this beer and pour it out in protest…
I’m going to buy these books and burn them in protest…
I’m going to log into Reddit and place a stern message on /r/place in protest…
Do you see the pattern…

Reddit already is a dumpster fire.
Hate-gagement is still engagement
honestly can’t be bothered. Let reddit fester, the view is great from here
edit: but also do what you want! ;)
I think it’s understandable that some of the people who spent a lot of time on Reddit over the years want to leave a tiny message as a final goodbye, and this is a great opportunity to do so. Kind of neat really. :)
I’d consider throwing in a pixel if I had a verified account on there.
I think it might be time to move on.
No. Reddit is dead to me.
You continue to help boost user engagement metrics. Just what the IPO needs.
Remember when Reddit actually had variety in their site wide social “games”/experiments? Remember the button? Or the colors? Or headdit? Now it feels like r/place is their one trick pony and honestly it’s a beaten horse at this point, in my opinion.
Stop engaging in Reddit. It’s time to move on.
Earning my keep.
Yes by helping Reddit
Or telling those on Reddit to join Lemmy.
Do you not know how marketing works?
We are already here. Anyone left on Reddit isn’t willing to stop engaging. There was a huge campaign to get everyone over here already and it worked, it’s why I’m here. A tiny banner on a huge canvas looked at by only Reddit diehards won’t change anything. Mho.
Thank goodness it’s just your opinion.
Don’t go on Reddit
STOP. GOING. TO. REDDIT.
Meh. You do you, but I’m happy here and don’t want to give Reddit any traffic.
Wait, so it’s r/place no longer a 24 hour thing? I thought it would have ended 2 days ago
The first time I think it lasted 24 hours (April fool’s day)
The second time (last time) it lasted for three days I think.
