To use the template, install the r/place userscript (guide) and click the above link. If you already have the userscript, just add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaoticNeutralCzech/myRandomImages/main/jlemmybig.json into the "Always Load" list.

Also, please no "tHiS iS eNgAgEmEnT fOr rEdDiT" comments. Would you rather have no such banner? As I'm not pushing anyone to become a long-term active user on Reddit, I don't see any benefit for the company from this. If you have a spare account, this may be a good cause to fire it up for a few hours.

For anyone concerned about traffic to reddit, the absolute best thing you can do is find ads next to "offensive" content and e-mail the CEOs and marketing departments of those companies saying you won't use those products due to their ad placement on reddit. Literally nothing else will hurt them faster.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

I'm fairly sure leaving the platform will hurt more. I left June 30th. Haven't looked back.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

If you use an ad blocker and don't buy premium then reddit doesn't benefit from you outside of any content you post

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You increase the daily/monthly active users count if they count only visiting people as well. Only by 1, but still. If they are using that number in any kind of negotiation with other companies to persuade them to do business with them (ad-related or otherwise), you probably wouldn't want to increase that number.
Not much, but it's honest work.

Edit: I'm not talking about this message in r/place in particular. I think this is awesome!

[-] [email protected] 106 points 11 months ago

Wow, we were allowed a few pixels for a few minutes, granted by our corporate overlords whom valiantly watch over every pixel to ensure they get the maximum IPO value! Just kidding, the bots decided to make it another flag or osu image or some stupid shit.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The message has been there since day 1 surprisingly they haven't tried censoring it yet.

edit: sorry should have fact checked it's being overwritten by shitstains with some W1 poster whatever thats supposed to be (bots of course)

edit2: TIL its the logo for KICK of course that explains everything

edit3: they're mostly back now 😎👍

Nobody will come to lemmy if they don't know it exists so it's worth it even if it gives reddit so engagement

[-] [email protected] 65 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sadly this message is already being overwritten by bots

Edit: the message about 3rd party apps is also being overwritten

[-] [email protected] 53 points 11 months ago

Luckily the group doing the message about third-party apps is very coordinated so they have so far been able to protect it for a few days now

[-] [email protected] 52 points 11 months ago

So it didn't take long for Reddit to turn into bots interacting with other bots

[-] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

Dead Internet theory

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Not a theory anymore. It's becoming a real life experiment at this point.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That is spooky. Of course I had to go look it up. Contrary to that first part of the Wikipedia page, this is no longer conspiracy. It’s becoming the reality.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

That’s Reddit for real now. Especially with the rise of AI and similar

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Reddit is Deaddit.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I was going to ask if anyone was using bots to keep their messages up. That's cool!

[-] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

Love that our text has anti-aliasing lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah, it also kinda helps against vandalism. I also helped design the Horalky wafer for Slovakia.

I love how it's kind of anti-aliased with the gray pixels

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I like it too, it's a genius detail tbh

You can tell reddit sucks now cuz r/place doesn't have gay and trans rainbows shooting all over

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Spez ist ein hurensohn!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

I'm just not interested in Reddit anymore. Haven't logged in since July 1st. Deleted the app and, I'm just lurking to see how this shitshow will end up. My 2 cents is that Reddit will gradually fall since a lot of the content creators, moderators and engaged people have left and a lot more will leave. It will take a lot of time but it will.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Great work guys. Now let's keep lemmy on there

[-] Jcb2016 13 points 11 months ago

Hehehe, This is amazing!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I actually feel a little sad seeing the BaconReader logo there. I had been using it for so long, and for the last 4 or so years it was the only way I used Reddit.

When I signed out of BaconReader that was the only place I was signed in, and I was pretty sad when I uninstalled it. Seeing the logo there brought that emotion back.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Who fucks a pez?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I honestly kinda don't want the general population of Reddit to join. I like that this place feels like pre-redesign Reddit.

The culture of the community massively started shifting around the time Alien Blue got bought out.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

Everyone deserves to be able to find salvation from Reddit

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah you're right

[-] overlyanxious 12 points 11 months ago

eh maybe, I thought each server would have it's own little community culture unlike reddit. if you want to see less people and enjoy a more specific culture you could join a server akin to what u want, was hoping it'd be less one place than the many interterting places i was sold

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Federation makes it feel like one big site. I'm not saying I want to exclude people though. I just selfishly like the vibe right now

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Y'know...Thats based.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

but we need lemmy to grow! I would say that the benefits on Lemmy growing outweighs a few members being "bad." (couldn't think of a better word)

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
