Starting a J for "Join Lemmy" at (22,-202)
Apparently there's also a "Lemmy" going on at (-190,-195)
"Hey, we're still cool. Remember this cool thing we did, look, we're doing it again, aren't we cool". Like that annoying kid in the class who had everybody laugh with one joke 2 years ago, and now he is repeating it time and again in order to get the same laughs.
Except in this case he's after any engagement so hateclicks are as good as loveclicks.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but the amount and intensity of data they must get out of this is huge. They will know all the accounts that are anti-spez which they can monitor and algorithmically demote (soft censorship).
Reddit, like most captive-tech these days, is shifting to optimizing only for providing endless distraction to the 90% of mindless hoards which are easy to monetize.
I suspect Youtube will be next in line to squeeze the lemon, now that they are trying to block adblockers.
What I dung understand is why they're all trying to become tictok when advertisers are starting to pay less and less for endless-scrolling platforms.
Yeah, people will spend hours zombie-scrolling through 30-second content, but within 2 minutes they've forgotten what they've watched. That makes ads on the platforms worthless.
Youtube is on the way to doing it right. Use the shorts to get people to follow an account and then start watching longer videos.
This is still traffic on the site.
You guys act like an infinitesimally small blip of traffic coming from a relatively niche community will be enough to make reddit successful again. People on /r/place drawing "fuck spez" using 1d old accounts and adblockers are nothing. Ruining this year's /r/place in exchange for a blip of mostly useless traffic is a W imo.
I saw a suggestion to go put a "join Lemmy" banner on there, is it happening?
Still haven't seen a "join lemmy" but gotta love "Digg 4 Lyfe"
Edit: It actually says DGG 4 LYFE.
I'm not 100% sure but I'm willing to bet that's for the streamer Destiny who's community often refers to itself as "dgg" for destiny.gg.
Looks like it.
Probably gonna get censored.
Given how Reddit admins have been cheating at r/place for years I think that was a given before it even opened. But they made their bed, let them lie in it. Also, constant paid eyes on every part of the canvas costs Reddit money and time, which is even better.
So if this means Reddit admins now have to work even harder because spez can't take the blowback when he goes out of his way to fuck up people's online communities, and repeatedly silenced Redditors have now seized upon this opportunity to paint countless iterations of fuck u/spez across his please-don't-leave-me canvas with his admins unable to keep up with the censoring, I can't see how that's a bad thing. Protesters leading the whole gang on a merry chase back and forth across the whole canvas until Reddit mercifully puts an end to its own public bollocking is a worthwhile endeavor, I think.
TL;DR: Censorship in this case is both expected and good. Also, the French guillotine and the German hurensohn are just delightful. -chef's kiss-
The only thing I expected that hasn’t shown up yet is the Apollo app logo.
I think they're building it next to a lower void bubble right now
Where are they coordinating this? Apollo sub? Mastodon?
Wow, some bootlickers are retaliating. There was more fuck spez before.
Edit: ah, this post is from 9h ago, nevermind.
Hurensohn lmao
I got a laugh scrabbling through old high school German lessons in my head, it's a new insult to me but it fits xD
Go to the ich_lel community. It’s so good.
