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
Remember when Reddit actually had variety in their site wide social “games”/experiments? Remember the button? Or the colors? Or headdit? Now it feels like r/place is their one trick pony and honestly it’s a beaten horse at this point, in my opinion.
Meh. You do you, but I’m happy here and don’t want to give Reddit any traffic.
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.

On the plus side, having the app installed means every time it updates I can refresh my 1-star review.
So use the web site.
Is it available on old.reddit? A lot of people here who refuse to give reddit traffic in the first place also prefer old.reddit and don’t want to use the new interface.
I think it might be time to move on.
Stop engaging in Reddit. It’s time to move on.
Why would you seek validation from reddit to get away from reddit?
'member that site b used to draw swastikas on? how about we make it a time limited fomo event to drive metrics? brilliant right?
Yeah, I’ve never engaged with this shit and won’t start now I’m not even on the site.
But the whole point of coming here is I didn’t want to use the website and give them engagement.
I think part of the problem is that when everyone is pulling in different directions, the effect of people like me boycotting using Reddit entirely to try to make some kind of dent in their use statistics basically ends up doing nothing.
If you’re “defending” your banner, meaning refreshing and adding inputs on a regular basis, you’re providing a ton more engagement, views, and clicks, as well as getting other Reddit users more entrenched in their defense of their stupid website, than any other possible activity you could do on that site. So thanks, I guess.
The worst case scenario for r/place is a world where everyone just sits in their corner after populating it at the start. Zero stories, boring, people no longer want to engage. What you’re doing? Dramatic gold.
Hate-gagement is still engagement
I’m going to buy this beer and pour it out in protest…
I’m going to buy these books and burn them in protest…
I’m going to log into Reddit and place a stern message on /r/place in protest…
Do you see the pattern…
Fuck /r/place.
honestly can’t be bothered. Let reddit fester, the view is great from here
edit: but also do what you want! ;)
No. Reddit is dead to me.
You continue to help boost user engagement metrics. Just what the IPO needs.
Don’t go on Reddit
STOP. GOING. TO. REDDIT.
