There's a QR code on r/place that links here and it seems some of the pixels are suddenly changing without any users attached to those changes -- unlike everywhere else

They did the same thing with the anti-spez messages and images. Theres another post here showing them scramble the French guillotine

Yeah the admins are definitely fucking around with it. But why would anyone think trying to make a QR code on r/place is a good idea?

[-] mrpants@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You can make them very robust at error correction. Arguably more so than text.

Well that's impressive. TIL

It’s amazing that those images in the center of a QR code aren’t actually a proper feature but relies on the error correction to deal with the center being covered up

It's so awesome

Why do people still care about this shit?

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

Imagine walking into the cafe, just to complain about the amount of coffee being present...

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

No, more like, imagine walking into a cafe for a coffee, and finding out that the place is filled with people that do nothing but bitch about another cafe.

No, more like, imagine walking into a cafe for a coffee

The cafe in the analogy describes /c/reddit

finding out that the place is filled with people that do nothing but bitch about another cafe.

Referring to people complaining about Reddit...

So you go into /c/Reddit and are annoyed that people area complaining about Reddit. Just block this community then?

More like, imagine walking into a cafe and thinking you can dictate what other people are talking about because you don't like it, instead of just finding a table with conversation you enjoy.

Going up to tables and telling them to talk about something different is about 1000x more annoying than the initial issue, especially when the topic of conversation is clearly labeled on the table and you have the ability to completely mute them. Inexplicably, you seem to have decided bitching at them would be more productive than just curating your feed like everyone else.

Why do people care that people care?

I am interested in hearing what happens at reddit because it affects how likely people are to leave, and where they might go if they do leave.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Who cares where they go and what they do? I’m seriously asking: why does this matter to you? They’re strangers that have no relevance to anyone.

Let them stay on Reddit and do their thing. You’re here. Do your thing here. But plastering Reddit shit all over the place here is FUCKING ANNOYING.

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

Why wouldn't you want more engagement with lemmy? If people leave Reddit they might come here and grow communities/content which this place sorely needs.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Caring about people leaving Reddit won’t make people leave Reddit. It just annoys people on lemmy.

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

Block the Reddit community then lmao, you're walking into a strip club then complaining about seeing boobs.

It's interesting to follow Reddit's downfall from afar imo. It's already happening us caring is just us tracking what's happening.

[-] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine they care in the interest of building Lemmy up and wanting to see it grow.

Damn dude, if you're so FUCKING ANNOYED by reddit talk maybe block the community literally called "reddit" and move on?

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

I mean, I get the sentiment. But this community is literally about reddit shit lmaoo

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

Are you fucking lost? What is the name of the community you are posting in? Besides that, apply your comment to your own comment. Who cares what others do? Obviously you do because you're bitching about the conversation being about Reddit.... On a community dedicated to talking about Reddit? Gasp!
