      Completely logical as much of it is removed on Reddit and many of us are curious about our old stomping grounds. It’s the people complaining about it that are getting tiring.

        Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I’m both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don’t want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.

        Plus I don’t view this as a meme.

      I think this should be the last of it until Reddit’s IPO, the administration team is just going to sit back and pretend nothing happened in the mean time.

        It depends on how much Reddit wants to follow in Elon Musk’s steps in destroying their service.

    Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.

    It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

      meh. I’m not interested in participating, but for a short uptick in user activity, a bunch of tech journals will be writing about this and they’ll come up is searches about /r/place for years to come. It will be a net lose for spez.

        Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.

          :NOWAY: Not the 400 people advertising Lemmy vs the at least 30 million Bots and the few million Reddit users.

          Look at this and tell me we are a statistic.

            This. It’s honestly hilarious people keep parroting that “that’s still engagement” BS like we’re a force to be reckoned with compared to reddit.

            It’s like getting $10 from Musk and thinking its6gonna hurt him in a significant way. Lmao.

      Personally only use Reddit read-only, with ad blocker and anti-tracking. Though I find that I don’t like read-only very much, so I’m spending less and less time on Reddit.

                Oh I deleted my comment right after posting because I thought you were replying to someone else. It’s weird though because it shows itself as deleted for me but it also shows the comment got votes on it.

                AFAIK though the cat thing is just a meme about Garfield lol

                  Yeah I sometimes also confuse who is answering who in Jerboa… And Lemmy won’t remove your comment from other instances that already synced with yours. It takes longer I hear.

                  No worries!

    More like “botnets strong”. That’s what really soured me on the second /r/place, it was completely taken over by crypto fanatics and meme stock morons running bots.

    How does r/space (or whatever) actually work, anyway? Do you only get to edit X amount of pixels per day or something? I imagine they’d have to limit it in some way, or it would change too much too quickly.

      You get to place one pixel every so-and-so minutes only. To build anything of size people need to collaborate.
