The real fuck spez would be a blank canvas. He doesn't care what we write on there as long as he's getting clicks and engagement

its over for reddit right now, and this r/place doesnt change it no matter how much traffic they get from this, its temporary, once it ends, it dissapears, so i dont think having some fun will hurt lemmy or will make spez win

Honestly, even if the whole lemmy.world (for example) joins, it won't matter. The bots and streamers (and their fanbase) alone outnumber us too much for us to even make a dent on their traffic. People here are grossly underestimating the number of bots and reddit users. Like they think because some protestors join it's suddenly going to drastically shoot their engagement numbers up. Lol.

The average user has already forgotten about the API changes

I agree. I'm just not sure how that relates to what I said (not being snarky - just a bit confused).

There are still some people who are unaware of either spez, the protests, or reddit alternatives. Tbh, i still can't believe it. Even if they don't end up leaving, i think it's important for them to know a bit of history to understand things better when reddit pulls another shit like this (which they will probably do more of after the IPO).

"repressed" would be more fitting as many users are even angry that mods are moderating less strict. They don't want to hear that it's gotten more difficult to moderate without the tools, they just want to fuel their addiction and carry on as before.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
