I'm, honestly, not surprised. It's like, what were they expect?

They expected everyone to be so mad at Spez that they ran to the subreddit to show their displeasure, thus making it seem like Reddit engagement is doing just great so it looks real nice for the IPO. You guys really need to just stop paying attention to Reddit at all.

who cares if reddit grows im on lemmy

Earlier on the French flag they had constructed a massive guillotine that was coming down on a Snoo’s head with Spez wrote on its face.

Then you started seeing large blobs being put over it where admins/mods were trying to blot it out.

This... was not a good idea.

As the little Asian lady behind me on the Yosemite tour bus loved to say, "Be-u-tiful!"

[-] Armetron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I love the fact that Bluey and MLP have been worked around and not destroyed yet

People should really use his actual name, "Steve Huffman". Being called an asshole by his username is just reinforcing his username and thus Reddit. Use his name so that when he goes to his rich-guy places to hang out with fellow rich guys who don't use Reddit, they ask him why everybody is saying he's an asshole.

They expected to show a large influx of visits when they create an event. They will show user counts and to the result to their investors. It’s all calculated and we’re all falling for it.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not falling for it. Just looking at it from lemmy and laughing lol

[-] Ddubz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

People that keep making this dumbass "engagement" claim have no goddamn idea what they're talking about. Nobody is falling for jack shit. The "engagement" of people going on to place to troll is miniscule. Like you said, half of us aren't looking at this on Reddit. It's being broadcast everywhere else and the tech outlets that an investor will see are reading about how much the user base fucking hates the product.

Surely any decent investment means they research the company. That'd be stupid business decisions. Although, Investors are immoral.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Investors are immoral. And they research the company but they don’t necessarily tour the whole thing. If they research the numbers. Then they see this. Now the whole gate is towards Spez. I bet we will soon see an announcement where he steps down (with a bonus) and the investors can be reassured that it’s all good. Plus they get huge visit numbers.

[-] Kandorr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Happy to see everyone working together.

Also, Bluey.

[-] aelwero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

...and they all logged in to make it happen...

My baconreader icon opens Lemmy. That's how you actually say fuck spez.

Dumbasses

[-] Ikelton@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How did you make that work? I'd love to keep opening baconreader, if only superficially... It's been 11 years.

[-] aelwero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I put the icon for one of the Lemmy apps (don't recall which I went with actually, tried all I could find and chose a fave) on my phones quick bar, and then edited the icon and replaced it with the bacon icon :)

It's the same icon I've had for a decade, in the same place it's always been, it just opens a different app now.

I’ve participated in that thing since the beginning and was kinda sad to miss it this time until now.

Hahahahahahaha. It’s beautiful.

[-] Magiwarriorx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.

It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

i think using r/place to list reddit alternatives would hurt them more
