eleitl, No. Reddit is dead to me.
You continue to help boost user engagement metrics. Just what the IPO needs.
Sentrovasi, 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.
DagonPie, STOP. GOING. TO. REDDIT.
bassomitron, 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.
eclectic, Meh. You do you, but I’m happy here and don’t want to give Reddit any traffic.
Millie, Why would you seek validation from reddit to get away from reddit?
Mereo, Stop engaging in Reddit. It’s time to move on.
moist_brouhaha, Don’t go on Reddit
BroBot9000, 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…
_Sprite, We haven’t tried burning it?
BroBot9000, Reddit already is a dumpster fire.
metaStatic, '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.
tox_solid, I think it might be time to move on.

Earning my keep.
KingJalopy, Yes by helping Reddit
Levetamae, Or telling those on Reddit to join Lemmy.
Do you not know how marketing works?
KingJalopy, We are already here. Anyone left on Reddit isn’t willing to stop engaging. There was a huge campaign to get everyone over here already and it worked, it’s why I’m here. A tiny banner on a huge canvas looked at by only Reddit diehards won’t change anything. Mho.
Levetamae, Thank goodness it’s just your opinion.
Sentrovasi, The point is that it's being defended against. That's the whole point of this post. So your audience are people who are already entrenched against the fediverse, being faced with a Lemmy invasion. And they're the kinds of people who relish these Reddit activities in the first place.
Do you think engaging with them in this incredibly superficial way is going to suddenly change their minds?
Or do you maybe think it might instead reinforce their cognitive biases now that they've spent a day and a half "defending" r/place against the militant minority?
islandofcaucasus, Wait, so it’s r/place no longer a 24 hour thing? I thought it would have ended 2 days ago
_danny, The first time I think it lasted 24 hours (April fool’s day)
The second time (last time) it lasted for three days I think.
LetUsGo, Hate-gagement is still engagement
elvis_depresley, honestly can’t be bothered. Let reddit fester, the view is great from here
edit: but also do what you want! ;)
sab, I think it's understandable that some of the people who spent a lot of time on Reddit over the years want to leave a tiny message as a final goodbye, and this is a great opportunity to do so. Kind of neat really. :)
I'd consider throwing in a pixel if I had a verified account on there.
