/r/place: Our beautiful lemmy banner above the 3rd party app protest has been wiped out, please help us rebuild from the right at 38,-25

xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!

We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25

Chat is at app.element.io/#/room/:data.haus

DharmaCurious,

Okay, been wondering this for a while, and can’t think of where to post it. So… Gonna ask her.

Could lemmy do it’s own version of Place? Like, a new instance specifically for lemmyplace, sole purpose being the big canvas (maybe c/canvas?), And it only stays up until it’s done?

If xQc wiped us out then it means a lot of interesting people saw the banner and it worked as intended.

Thank you! It was a pleasure working with you!

chairman,

Since we so want to advertise Lemmy on Reddit, perhaps we should buy some ads on Reddit and let it run for a month. What do you think? I will start a Patreon and chip in 0.0001 cent? Anyone with me?

That will show reddit we mean business and want to take reddit down!!! /s

jcit878,

side note, how in the hell is reddit infested with so many bots yet i cant get an alt that doesnt get instabanned for the life of me? the increasingly angry messages from the admins each time they swat a new one are funny and all, but i wouldnt mind an account to occasionally say something from. tried using VPN and it didnt seem to work. Note: am not a tech guy so probably missing something very obvious

lemmonade, (edited )

didn’t notice this, I use a couple of alts and create a new one from time to time (although I do this less and less because I mostly use lemmy instead now)

jcit878,

yeah i had a main and 2 alts no dramas for years but my main got an out of the blue admin level ban with no warning (for calling someone a cooker, who was indeed, cooked), which led to my other 2 alts banned and any new ones i made

While responding to another person with a similar problem, I saw someone suggest that another person’s VPN might have been using the banned IP Adress.

My girlfriend also had the same problem right before reddit pulled the recent app shenanigans. All of her appeals were immediately banned, despite the fact that she only really lurked. Out of the two of us, we figured that my account would have been the one to go, because I actually commented and posted things. Nope.

jcit878,

dang. thats frustrating. i seriously wonder how all the bad actors manage to keep popping up with new accounts. maybe cookies come into play, not sure (i didnt bother deleting)

beregoth,

Give it some time. Everyone’s life priorities will change and something like this won’t be at the top of the list.

SinningStromgald,

Thoughts and prayers any help? Because I’m not going on Reddit ever again.

athos77,

Hmm, let me check the comments I made when they kicked off /r/place again last week. Oh, yes, there it is:

I absolutely wouldn't put it past [reddit] to either skew the accounts (admin accounts can change colors as much as they want!) or do something annoying like arranging for xQc and his little cult to grief the board again (which probably wouldn't take much beyond someone telling him that he was welcome to do so).

I should get a job as a prognosticator ....

Alto,

I really doubt they worked with xQc on this.

Not because I put it past them, but rather because he was gonna do this regardless

genoxidedev1,
@genoxidedev1@kbin.social avatar

I'm OOTL can someone explain why xQc even did this? Was it targeted?

At least I'm in the loop enough to know that he and his chat at least have the attention span of a banana which is why it was so quickly rebuilt.

Alto,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

He did it last year too. It just causes chaos, which is what his viewers enjoy.

genoxidedev1,
@genoxidedev1@kbin.social avatar

It definitely looked targeted since it was just that spot (at least when I looked) if it really just was for chaos that's S-Tier cringe but expected.

You’d think xQc would be all for sowing the chaos of pushing users to a different platform.

Just. Let. It. Die.

PaperTowel,

I’ve never checked out a community or done anything because of a random 50 pixels on r/place. The engagement they get from this is so valuable to them, while I’d be surprised if one person joins because of these random pixels.

kresten,

I have, that’s how I discovered r/fuckcars, now c/fuckcars. I did so last time r/place was around

KairuByte,
@KairuByte@lemmy.world avatar

The argument about engagement being worth a lot is kinda silly. The initial numbers of “look at how good we can do!” immediately followed by “but everyone using it has left” isnt a good thing. Advertisers want stability not “big number for short time.”

Look at it this way: If you were an advertiser, would you go with an advertisement campaign on a site that had an average of 1000 users each and every day, or a site that had 100,000 users for a single day, and 10 for the rest of the year?

PaperTowel,

Sure but It depends on how it’s presented I feel like too, Reddit can say that r/place had x amount of interactions which is growth over the past x numbers of iterations of r/place. And Reddit now doubt has amazing retention numbers so I don’t think marketers are gonna worry about that. Either way if we’re on it or not I don’t think Reddit even notices, we’re less than a drop in the bucket. I think I’m just fatigued from Mastodon and Lemmy being full of, Look what’s happening on Twitter and look what’s happening on Reddit. It’s fatiguing when it’s every 3rd post.

@skulblaka@kbin.social avatar

Just build a script for it like everyone else who is advertising on it right now. If reddit wants to play dirty so can we.

genoxidedev1,
@genoxidedev1@kbin.social avatar

Idk if there's a script but yesterday or somewhen, ChaoticNeutralCzech shared this template

Great work mate 🦙

Text is back, icon is still missing mostly. Good work!

Mereo,

No. This is becoming rediculous. Stopped being so obsessed with your ex.

Ricaz,

The equivalent of being broken up with, then posting daily on Facebook about your ex and contacting all her friends to tell them he’s/she’s the bad one

thorbot,

No
