If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT… Every time “fuck spez” shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.
Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?
Every time you go there and write “fuck spez” I’m sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on
I’ll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO
This doesn’t make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that’s simply Reddit users? Can’t be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else … Great amusement lol
I really appreciate these posts; this way I don’t need to actually go to Reddit to see what it’s looking like.
Just found this for viewing place without Reddit:
The “Fuck Spez” is much smaller when you view the whole thing :(
They have expanded the canvas several times. As far as I remember more quickly and frequently than they did before.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they did that to achieve this very effect, way more space so protest art isn’t so prominent.
nice!
Continuing to rebel against the site by using the hell out of the site and driving its numbers up, I see. Have fun with that.
I am curious about this IPO, because I want to see what a clownshow their cash flow statement is likely to be.
The move should be amping it up as much as possible before the IPO and than crashing it when a high IPO is set. Fucking over anyone who could believe they could wrench out some cash from it.
Ok but… Why the are people criticizing the reddit CEO on reddit and thereby USING REDDIT? There is no need to spread that he’s shit anymore at this point for everyone to see. Everyone knows by now. If people don’t approve of his ways, they need to boycott his platform. But if they keep participating on r/place, they are literally supporting him by using his platform?!
No. It’s pretty easy to not participate in r/place.
Sabotaging the quality of reddit also hurts spez. Advertisers have been pulling out, ipo valuation is going down. If the super users make it a place people don’t want to go, they will stop going, and it will get worse. If they make life hard for the mods, some of them will say “fuck it.” And stop being mods because they will realize it’s not worth it.
It’s not just about raising awareness
You are right, I haven’t thought about it that way
Will lemmy ever get it’s own /place?
It’s admittedly not a very difficult project, it was done pretty quick for an April Fools event in 2017. Honestly it could be a good coding challenge because the basics themselves are easy, it’s just how you build it at scale. So you just need someone to make a new Lemmy community, a new website, and have a lot of people get hyped about it so that it becomes the ‘one’ for Lemmy. Ludwig hired one dude to write a clone for his stream, so there just has to be someone who has the time, energy, and care to make one for this community.
