Yes. Yes he can.
My guess is Reddit is doing this to temporarily raise traffic. It’s like rage bait. They know they’re pissing people off and protestors will flood the site, but traffic is traffic. If they can demonstrate engagement it must be good enough for the upcoming IPO.
Right? I don’t understand why people on the fediverse are getting excited about this. At best, Reddit will have admins to insta-wipe anything objectionable. At worst, Reddit will point to the increased engagement as a sign that the protesters gave up and came back.
Yes, just ignore
r/place being filled with API protest signs would be really hilarious
It would be a shame if someone conspired to coordinate such a thing…
I’ve been working with some other people on discord. The plan is to spam the entire canvas with tiny API’s like amogus was last time. We’ve got it down to 4x7 pixels
Can you share the current design?
41 API/7?
I’m not sure why Huffman doesn’t just do away with their PR department and respond to media inquiries with a poop emoji like his hero.
Probably he just doesn’t want to be accused of being unoriginal. He wishes he’d thought of it first.
The best thing isn’t to say fuck spez or draw a Lemmy. The best thing to do is to make it black. Just black.
Make it nothing of note that can be talked about, reviewed, or made into content. It is just a black screen.
That is the engagement that Reddit wants now, just a black void. Maybe we should give that to them.
I am looking at r/place now and it is kind of making me lose hope in how many people actually care about what spez is doing.
But more likely this is just my depression talking.
People don’t and that’s OK because there’s enough people who does care to fragment off and start something new. That’s the whole point of the internet. The reason Reddit got as big as it did was because it had a wide enough net to attract everyone, now they are deciding to focus on just the ones that matter to them and that allows an alternative to exist.
