I like that they were able to coordinate enough to make “fuck spez” so visible (plus the “spez ist ein H*rensohn” = “spez is a son of a b*tch”). I just wish that they focused on the big picture - Spez himself is just a tool (in both senses) for Reddit Inc., and it’s the whole corporation that should be screwed over.
Yes, but it’s also a symbol. And there seems to be enough of a consensus in the zeitgeist, that that message appears to be somewhat self-organizing as a common sentiment. For something chaotic like /r/place that sort of undercurrent is a boon.
Not bad, but it needs more pro-Rexit messaging. A few highly visible Lemmy links would be nice.
It would be more subversive to stick a huge Apollo logo front and center.
It doesn’t matter, it’s a bait to raise engagement metrics and a lot of people are falling for it.
Meh, any engagement bump will be fleeting, and meanwhile they’re going to have another round of Reddit Sucks articles about either a) /r/place being taken over by anti-reddit people or b) Reddit censoring /r/place.
r/place is a battleground for hundreds of bots, possibly thousands. I’m done with Reddit.
It’s a nerd place for nerd groups and the only thing it shows is who manage to gather the highest number of most terminally online people.
