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
I’m going to go to bed in about an hour or 2 and am running 4 out of the 5 or 6 of the accounts we have online. I’m a bit worried that we will lose it as we have the last couple times we got a banner going.
Fuck /r/place.
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.
You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.
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 will have zero clue about what the hell a spe
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…
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.
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.
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.
