Link to lemmynsfw and we'll get double the users in one day

[-] charlieb@kbin.social 62 points 1 year ago

Maybe let's just not go there? Tis a silly place.

[-] NaoPb@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'll only go there when this place is having maintenance. Since it seems to coincide with my morning browsing session.

“join-lemmy.com”

It's join-lemmy.org... .com leads to nowhere.

Generating views, traffic and content for Reddit is a hopeless way to try to negatively impact Reddit.

Spend that time creating and participating in content here to drive change.

[-] MothBookkeeper@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

I disagree. The views during /r/place are negligible. Advertising Lemmy and stealing their users: priceless.

[-] charlieb@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Every pixel is another +1 interaction on the site to pump their engagement numbers. Might not be direct views, but they are using r/place to offset the audience engagement losses over the monthly average. Spez is buying time before the summaries hit the board's desks.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 14 points 1 year ago

I think so. The fact they did this almost certainly knowing exactly what would be made makes it clear. They did this for pure engagement numbers. The saying used to be "Any publicity is good publicity", now it seems it's more like "Any engagement is good engagement".

[-] mintyfrog@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Pump up the site visits and hope that some visitors will even come back again once they see the other content.

[-] objectionist@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

sometimes you have to fuel the fire to get it to die down

that sounded way better in my head...

[-] MostlyBirds@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, let's get people to come here by not telling them about it. Solid plan.

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You assume I want the average redditor here.

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Nah.

I'm gonna go get some döner instead.

[-] JetpackJackson@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Can you mail me some? It sounds delicious.

[-] Ginjutsu@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Seems like people are organizing here: !place_join_lemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Lol @ the expected proliferation of fuck spez. I already broke up with my ex, though, and I didn't even need ice cream. Egging their house feels unnecessary

[-] NaoPb@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It would take a rebot not to cry about what spez is doing.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 9 points 1 year ago

I already deleted my account so ...

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Heh, "Spezi." I miss Spezi here in the US.

[-] DannyMac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think there's enough people here to organize it.

[-] LuhimeWired@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

There are, we just don't want to.

[-] DannyMac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Now that I reread my post what you said is what I really intended. We do have plenty of people here but, you're right, we just don't want to.

[-] Wirrvogel@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

This would look so much better in complete white. I will not even watch it on Twitch, they did not get "engagement" out of me since I made this account on feddit and I am not going back.

[-] NaoPb@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Good. I can see all the things that I like. Hehe.

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Did you post this on a discord within the last hour? Was it deleted or am I tripping? Saw this same screenshot on discord then it disappeared.
