Just go to the desktop site, you don't have to log in. Things are going well, in case you're curious πŸ˜†:

lots of FUCKSPEZ already

EDIT: apparently "Hurensohn" is German for "son of a bitch"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Whore, not bitch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If you translate it word for word its "whoreson"

Has a nice ring to it

Join the lemmy coordination matrix chat and help get more users for our community. We have made excellently headway with the entire link on there, we need lots of help defending it though. We've made alliances with the Fuck Spez Coalition and Black Company but we still need more.

Hurensohn is way more aggressive than son of a bitch. It's son of a prostitute

Sie fragten nach mir?

Oh i wish Coloring pixels used this image for their r/place pic instead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You love to see it

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Just wait for people to post screenshots. No need for all of us to monitor the thing.

Traffic means nothing. Go to https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ and enjoy.

Also, old reddit does not work, and you need an email in your account to put pixels (good bye privacy).

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Traffic means nothing.

I disagree. They have a reason for running it again, and the most obvious reason is to offset the traffic loss for July. Most advertisers aren't going to be aware that /r/place is a limited-time event. What they're going to see is what reddit will tell them: hey, we did these API changes, and yeah it cost us some traffic at the time, but traffic overall had recovered by the following month - hell, we even had a increase in traffic in July!

They know they've breached trust with their userbase, and they're trying desperately to avoid doing that with the advertisers as well.

Traffic means they can present it as a positive thing to future investors. Yes it’s smoke and mirrors and it won’t hold long. It just has to hold until the IPO then they will run away with the bank and leave it all to burn down.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

The whole reason they're running an out of season /r/place event is to drive traffic.

10minutemail to the rescue

I tend to use a combination of [email protected]

You can increment the +1 to whatever and it'll count as a new email

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They just can't stop being idiots

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tempmail go brrrr

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a live stream of it. Bummer.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/live/iLy4lLNnvsY

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I can't beleve they wold post a live stream bullying that Spez fellow. I reported it. We can't allow that kind of unwholesome content on YouTube. Perhaps YouTube will take down such an offensive channel.

Also, fuck Spez.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Somehow couldn't find that. Thanks! Kinda funny looking at all that through the official Reddit YouTube channel. Wonder if they'll get banned at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What does their slogan β€œRight Place Wrong Time” means? I’m very confused.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe the Reddit Admins are being tongue in cheek and referring to the dumpster fire of API changes?

Like "oops we're sorry, but come back to Reddit to show that we are still viable for our wealthy investors"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Although you’re probably right, my first thought was how place was an April Fools event The place being r/place, the wrong time being July 20

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I bet is something off color like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's late. It was supposed to be April 1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I believe that's their "offline" banner. It's just showing up as a mistake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the link. How many days does this event last?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If you want to join the movement to onboard more Lemmy users. We currently have a matrix chat that is coordinating on this. We have made excellently headway with the entire link on there, we need lots of help defending it though. We've made alliances with the Fuck Spez Coalition and Black Company but we still need more.
