I'm really disappointed at the people trying to legitimately use r/place. They are getting shit on by Reddit, treated like absolute dirt, the site is being ruined, they're letting themselves be fucked by a big corporation, they see others revolting mere pixels away from them, and what do they do? They try to put their little image on their as if it means anything anymore, and helping Reddit boost their IPO while fucking themselves over. If they're not in on the revolt, they're just pathetic.

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple redditors. These are people of the land. The common clay of the interwebs. You know…

r/Place was fun and a neat concept the first time they did it. Now it's just recycled and uninspired. It feels like an abusive parent trying to give you a "really nice present" to "make up" for beating the crap out of you yesterday.

I say don't fuck with it. I think this is them trying to measure(or drive) engagement since cutting off API access and after all of the blackouts.

It boggles my mind at how many people are in the comments on /r/place COMPLAINING about Reddit when they’re literally actively engaging it by doing so. If they actually wanted to make a point, just leave. I’ve stopped going on Reddit since Apollo was killed and honestly my life has felt much better. Lemmy feels so much more friendly and like an actual community.

I keep trying to explain that engaging with reddit (even saying fuck reddit or advertising the fediverse) still puts money in Reddit's pockets. The only option is to stop going there and focus on content here.

And as for those who want to continue to use reddit to complain about reddit on reddit... Well I am okay with those people not being recruited to here tbh

EDIT: see reply below. Also don’t know how to do strikethrough but pretend the paraphrased bit is struck out.

… focus on -[putting]- content here.

I absolutely hate that people say this. Ffs, not every single platform needs to be about the content unless you’re looking to monetize the platform. I personally got off Reddit because of how shit 99% of the community was on there and how overarching the hivemind was - and I also personally went on the Fediverse because of the community that’s emerging over here, not the content itself. If you want content vomit, then just go onto Instagram or back to Reddit.

I know you mean well, but this kind of thing just grinds my gears lol.

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I didn't say I want content vomit. I said focusing on content is essential. A community is nothing without content. We need questions being asked and answered in our tech communities. We need artists and musicians posting in theirs. We need conversation that is thought provoking which allows our communities to form and flourish.

If you see the word content and just jump to dumb memes than I think that's more of an issue with your way of thinking than an issue with anything I have suggested.

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Touche - and I honestly was thinking you meant just cramming content onto the Fediverse, like I have seen a good whack of people suggest on here. I thought my paraphrasing was clarifying the statement, when I reality I was getting it mixed up, so my apologies on that.

I guess the way you put “focus on content” and explained it is, to me at least, the way I would see cultivating a community; I assume that the content natural to that community would come about regardless of it being taken off Reddit and slapped on here, if that makes sense.

It just irks me that it seems like a good chunk of people want the Fediverse to become Reddit 2.0 versus its own little thing, like with r/196 being transplanted to here being and the dumb Reddit-tier poop inside joke being examples.

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I completely agree, friendo.

This should not become reddit 2.0. let them keep their platform for poop jokes. I'm 100% content with the users we have and have had a wonderful time engaging with them. We don't need to advertise on r/place is the point I tried to make. We don't need the people who are still using reddit and think it's funny writing FUCK on r/place.

Sorry if I didn't get that across originally.

[-] Crozekiel@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Okay, but what if enough reddit hate floods them now, while the AI is still learning what a reddit post should look like, and THEN we all leave, then the "content" posted by all the bots will just be self-perpetuating reddit-hate devolving into unintelligible non-sentences with anti-reddit keywords? :P

Crisis is right. They’re talking about “killing reddit” except they are engaging on the very site. I still visit the site to view what’s going on in some niche communities but I’m done with it and I’m still trying to get my footing back in the real world.
