I’m, honestly, not surprised. It’s like, what were they expect?

    They expected to show a large influx of visits when they create an event. They will show user counts and to the result to their investors. It’s all calculated and we’re all falling for it.

      How did you make that work? I’d love to keep opening baconreader, if only superficially… It’s been 11 years.

    I’ve participated in that thing since the beginning and was kinda sad to miss it this time until now.

    Hahahahahahaha. It’s beautiful.

      r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.

      It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.

      Reddit can take all their fake and inflated as fuck engagement numbers and shove it up their arse, for all I care.

      Play on r/place, don’t play on r/place, doesn’t matter. Lemmy is big enough that it is its own thing now. People that want something different will come. As much as it would be nice to have essentially a crowd-run ad campaign for Lemmy, I respect anyone committing to not visiting Reddit again for any reason.
